Exactly - most people intererested in improvement tend to learn more from their mistakes, compared to when things are running swimmingly.

In contrast you should have heard poor old KG this morning on 5AA. He just doesn't get it. He made refence to Rucci's article, but more particularly us, stating that we shouldn't be undermining Neil Craig as it is the last thing that the Adelaide footy club needs.

....

I didn't realize that our little group of posters had such an influence as to whether the sun will or will not shine tomorrow in KG's mind!!

KG has a very narrow view of life, particularly what goes on outside SA. He will alway stick up for his mates, even it is blatantly obvious that there is no justification to do so.

Again, I feel no need to state my name. I don't want Rucci doing anything shifty with it, and it's completely irrelevant to my opinion. If he wonder whether I'm somehow connected with the club, I'm not, I'm not even a member as I am a fairly poor student.

He was very cunning, in that he still defened Craig to the hilt but said basically some hick supporters on a board don't like him.

Rucci's biggest failure in that article is not to mention our 'pointed assessments' or his comments on them. Funny about that. He has in fact, barely done what I've asked at all.

Two or three things.

That last comment in Rucci's article is just so pertinent. Interest in Craig as a coach by Richmond and Hawthorn - ZERO. There's a message in that for all of us - isn't there??

As for Rucci's reference to us, our poll and Bigfooty, he couldn't have been fairer. It's up to the readers to go to the web site to read more if they are interested, and Rucci did quote the address for the site.

I haven't seen one person state on this forum that Craig should be sacked as the caretaker coach. What they are telling the club loudly and clearly is that the supporters in general do NOT want Neil Graig as our next permanent coach. We want the best available coach and the general consensus is that Neil Craig is NOT that man.

Keith Conlon made the point in our defense that it was merely a simple poll as to whether voters regarded Craig as the best candidate for the position, but Kenneth George struggled to even understand such a simple concept.

Spot on. I agree with everything you said and that reaction is so KG. I rate the bloke but his blinding loyalty can wear a bit thin.

Also I think we must give credit where credit is due, so Michaelangleo thanks for stating how we, crows supporters and members of bigfooty feel about this issue. None of us have issues with Craig as a bloke because he comes across as a top bloke and great to listen to. What this comes down to is who is the best available candidate for the job and if we are serious about getting the club out of this mess then we need to make the right decisions.

Here is what Rucci wrote today

Craig plea: Let's stick together
By Michelangelo Rucci
27jul04
, Craig yesterday was fending e-mails from annoyed Adelaide fans and a campaign by the Crows' "unofficial match committee" to depose him.

The group – which includes an Adelaide member who sought a seat on the club board in December – has started a poll on the www.bigfooty.com Internet site asking if Craig should continue as coach. The count is heavily against him.

Sorry to state the obvious, but Macca23!

Am I correct in saying that Jars458 is the one that sought a seat on the board??????

 

[beartoo]

I'm out of step with most of my fellow Crows supporters cause I think Craig is the best option for coach.

As far as Michelangelo is concerned, take no notice of him. His articles are always written from a Power bias. That's not his fault. He just happens to be first and foremost a Power supporter.

But wasn't it Macca that started the post on Craig's coaching job? Ahh don't confuse me! If it was either however, privacy considerations should have been given to them surely. Rucci had no right to publically write that someone was going for election. What's he trying to do, expose them? Seriously, Rucci, who are you trying to kid here. At least we are the ones posting, not going through RooDog's emails and the advertisers public forum. Did one of those 2 give you the right to publish their election? IF so, well I'll back off, but if not, you are worse then Bree in my books.

Macca23 started the poll but Jars458 sought a place on the board but his spot went to Bill Sanders.

Jars458 posted in that thread giving his opinion so Rucci said something along the lines of "Unofficila Match committee which includes a member that sought a place on the crows board".

I don't think its a matter of trying to expose Jars. If it was Jras would sue his arse. You don't mess around with a hardass lawyer like Jars

That's a great name coming from someone called Stiffy.

And I don't owe you a beer, Rye-ann didn't win. I only owed you one if he did.
