Are you a REAL Crows supporter?

DaveW, Word on Craig is his communications skills aren't up to scratch for a head coaches job. (after reading my original sentence i needed to add the word 'coaches')

new coach needs to come from outside the club.

Jona would be an excellent choice.

I wanted Jonas sacked after 1999, and was amazed that his contract was extended, but I then saw the reasons why his contract was extended! If it wasn't for what happened at Centrals in 1999, then I, too, would probably be questioning Gary Ayres position more. But I have learnt my lesson, so I'm being more supportive.

No he's not. But Jonas had some excuses why the form was 'poor' in '99, hence the extension. Ayres has none. We are further away from a flag that we were 12 months ago, with more pain required.

Bruce, you should accept Ayres for what he is, he has proven over many years he is in the rung below the top echelon. Unfortunately, that won't win us a flag.

It's time to try someone else.

Believe it or not, my brother owns a house on Queen St. I won't say which one, but it is embarrasingly close to Alberton Oval (has a "lovely" view of it in fact). But then, he can't help himself, being a Port supporter and all.

So I am also welcome at Queen St, although I am restricted to anytime between October to March. ;)

you idiot

Burton also said we had underachieved.

Realistically you can't win the Premieship every year

The trick is to take the positives and try to work on the negatives.

Winning isn't everything. Its the journey, not the destination.

Mickan, Ciccolella, Biglands, Burton, Shirley, Bock, McGregor, Crowell, Skipworth, Hentschel...

Whatever gave you that idea Porthos?!

NaughtyMonkey,

Dunno about Blight. I wouldnt mind seeing Mickan dismissed and having Carey as the forward coach. Wayne's experince and leadership this year has been excellent and we need to retain it.

A Jonas/Carey combo could be interesting.

I have to agree 110% with this.

He would be awsome as a forward line coach. Imagine how much he could help develop our forwards:D

The main thing Gary and Peter have in common is that they recruited old stars to help them win a flag - Platten/McAdam and Carey/Burns. It didnt work for the Dogs but we recovered.

It remains to be see if Gaz can lead us the way that Jona did.

The difference between Gaz and Peter is that Gary has been with us longer than Peter was at Centrals. Gary has had since late 99 to turn AFC around.

At the moment we are in the same spot that we were at the end of Gary's first year in 2000.

We are in dire need of young ruckmen.
We need young talent coming through and playing stright away next year.
Gary's match ups and game day tactics are still frustrating and fans are unhappy.

I feel we are the crossroads again and we should'nt be. We have gone backwards.

Its not acceptable that we are in the same spot we were at 2000.

Gary has stated that this current group has gone as far as It can go. I dont think he can take us further. I dont think he will be extended past next year and for mine that will be a good thing.

2 years as a player...how long would he have to work as a coach to make his kids eligable under the father/son rule?

I thought that they changed the father/son rule during the off season so that the sons of officials, including coaches, no longer qualify under that rule, or did I dream that.
