2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Pt. 1

nah, hours on the bike is old tech, would be lucky to square them up with the rest of the comp let alone make fitness an advantage.

They will get fit and that will be the purpose.

2005-06 was Craig's golden period. He got so close.

Everything since has been about recapturing those seasons and trying to do it again, only with a bit better ending this time.

We saw him hanging doggedly onto ideas and players from that era. He has struggled to move on. Crow-mo (Vale) illustrated it as Craig writing a kick ass debut novel but then struggling with the follow up. Had invested all his best ideas and strategies first up and couldn't reinvent or evolve.

So Craig is the M Knight Shymalan of the AFL?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would Bolton fit on a bike? ......not sure his feet would reach the peddles

Reckon Bolton is the perfect build for a bike... But your post made me laugh!

Bloody San Antonio

So basically Prison Break first season?

Then once he survived the execution they just kept on running for 5 seasons.

The tragedy of Neil Craig is that with a little luck he could have been a back to back premiership coach, just like Blighty. Had Roo not been suspended for that first final in 2005 and had injuries not cruelled us in 2006 it could have been so different. I think the disappointment of those years is what drove the poor decision making afterwards - by him and the board - and to some extent that is understandable. They rolled the dice and lost.

The comedy is that so many clubs have employed him since.

I see fit people

 

[WAG]

Anyone want to hear a joke?



Chelsea

 

[Red mist]

To be honest. Craig and Walsh work well together. It's content that they produce that may be out of date regarding the development of the muscles for straight line movement. Agility is maybe a downfall.

 

[Infra Ted]

Motlop is not fat. He just needs a good poo. After a good poo, that gut goes away.

Mitch Clarke on the other hand, he's been on a good off season diet.

Not sure if serious?

Just extracting the urine

There's another couple of kegs.

Motlop has more kegs than West End

Do they sell on Good Friday? Could've been his champion game . Had 32 touches? yet completely pantsed for the jibber jabber on the ground. Another Hawfs Intel sitch. Ours with the Talias was different but it still involved Hawfs taddles. Am I going too far. Lulz.

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Won't be the same without Vossy

Hang on... it will actually be 10x better because he was (and is) so hopeless whereas Mick is a premiership coaching guru.

Let's hope Vossy continues his role as Port's kryptonite.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

They made the right decision

 

[Geoffa32]

Anyone get a sense of Deja Vu ? .......Trigg ......Craig ......


Surely you have to move forward not keep rehashing the past

We are the Navy Blues, Brothers?

He has plenty of industry knowledge (like lots of ex-senior coaches).

Blight won our flags through his creativity and coaching flair. Craig had a sound game plan and we'll drilled players because he is a great teacher of the game. Hence he is still in the AFL system. But he could not adapt when the unexpected happened. Blight could not only adapt to the unexpected but create that situation for other coaches.

This is why Blight won two AFL Grand Finals and Craigy never coached in an AFL Grand Final. Yes Blight lost a few Grand Finals, but those coaches he lost to were his equal....if not better.


Does anyone here think Blight would have left Massie on Buddy in 2007?

He'll never get Pyke out of that high paying gig.

 

[Ozzie]

Was reading a few pages back where Niximus and Scorpus were discussing time. My question is this. Are you John Reilly and Nathan Van Berlo?

Blight would have put Massie at full forward.
