Player/Coaches contracts - Are we too conservative?

[Freddy Bassett]

Great topic! Most crows supporters would agree with you 100%. Sign up NC straight away and all the youngsters you spoke off aswell. If we are going to draft interstaters, lets keep the good ones by all means required. VB, Knights, Tippett, Radar MUST be lifelong Crows, Make it happen. As for debating who is better out of NC and Chocco, who really cares. Id take NC anyday and Im sure the toothless and shoeless love Chocco.

It would be unfair to not let Craigy see out his "rebuilding" phase. He needs to be here for the next 3-5 years.

I would love all our key players see out their careers here: RUTTEN (Give him as many years contract as he wants!), Thompson, Rielly, VB, Knights, Bock, Stiffy, Porplyzia. There's a chance we'll lose one of them at some point though, unfortunately.

How much longer does he have to run on his contract?
I heard from albeit an unreliable source today, who had spoken to him and the conversation went along the lines of him wanting to finish his career in Melbourne due the Mrs family being over there I dont want to start uneccessary rumours regarding the future of our players but thought id share what id heard

That rumour was floated around on this board at one stage last year. Nothing happened when it came to trade week. Seems there isn't much substance to this particular rumour.

Williams took them to two Grand Finals and a premiership.

Put all bias aside and be honest.

If you had to pick a coach, who would you pick, Williams or NC.

You cant judge NC finals effort untill he takes a fully fit side into the finals.

05 against saints we had no Roo [own fault i know] no Bock so Trent had to go back and i know it was only one player but that all it takes to buggar up the whole structre.

06 we had big troubles to say the least.

Last year Willy took a fully fit side into the GF except Wilson and in 02 03 he went into the finals with the side they had all year.

Since NC has taken over we are 6/1 with the little brother and the one we lost we had 13 shots in the 1st term kicked 3-8 and 2 on the full should really be 7-0 so for what ever reason they had the wood on us before NC now we have the wood on them.

My cousin knows him and played under age footy with him he told me he sees himself going back over the border AFTER his footy is career is over

Of all the people we should be worried about leaving, someone who specifically traded to us in Adelaide is pretty low on the list id think.
