Good bloke from all accounts. His record as a coach was undeniably poor generally and diabolically poor in big games. Especially as a coach with cattle (at various times).

I reckon he's an articulate, thoughtful, interesting football person.

But it's impossible to say he's a good coach when plainly his record says pretty much the opposite.
Yeah, I thought he was on the list of coaches who had the footy world conned that they were any good.

Like Wallace (until he went to Richmond and it blew his cover!), Eade, Laidley and a few others.

I would really hope not. He had a great opportunity to win a flag in 05/06 however found a way to not even make it to the Grand Final.

I've always had a lot of respect for Neil Craig, so can take no joy out of his resignation. He's one of the good men of footy.

Hilarious.

Are you a mod?

If so ban me because you don't agree with me.

And visit Adelaide and your mate Craig.
