Puts TIPPETT into the backlines in the 3rd quarter when they needed to be kicking goals, Craigy appeared afraid to win!
 
He could train Phar Lap to lose races. His whole playing list has had defensive mind set drummed into them when it matters from his first day.
 
He keeps them fit,
has a gameplan (whatever that means),
and every year gets outsmarted in finals.

i reckon you've articulated yourself very well there - i know crows fans will likely throw up some examples to prove that i'm wrong but my perception is that Craig is just a poor match day coach.

against sides that they're better than, against other poor match day coaches, against teams they match up very well on, they do very very well. but when things change quickly during the game - a rabbit in the headlights is exactly what he is.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Just for your benefit, a game plan is something a coach puts in place each week to try and win the game. This is something that Ratten has no knowledge of.

Glad I could help you out:thumbsu:

"But Adelaide have the best forward line in the history of the club..."

"But Adelaide love playing at the MCG..."

"But Adelaide had more possessions than Collingwood last time they played in Round 19..."

"But Adelaide are the best 5th placed team in the history of the AFL..."

"But Adelaide only finished 4.68968575785845% behind Collingwood..."

"But Adelaide beat a depleted Essendon at home last week by lots..."

"But Adelaide had more inside 50s..."

"But Adelaide had less free kicks..."

But... but... but...


Let's hear it! :thumbsu:
 
Given Collingwoods momentum towards the end of the third quarter, I think Craig did well to keep them in the game, and were a minute away from winning it.

No problems with Craig tonight - some of the players let him down though.

And don't forget - Collingwood were flag favourites three weeks ago, and are a very good side.

Adelaide were dominating everything, had a mortgage on the footy for about an hour and then Criag dogged it and tried to lock it up.

Crows should have won by 80.
