Mentioned in today's Age and just then by KB on SEN. Good pick up if there are limits to his role - I get a bit sick of the fitness departments ruling the roost these days. It is a science - to a degree - but it should never get in the way of tactical or impromptu game day decisions. Like leaving a player on when he kicks a goal - let them run red hot for a change!
Don't like the guy and don't rate him.
Craig lives in the world of failed football theories and failed fitness regimes that don't translate to Australian Rules Football.
Not needed at Richmond. Would just muddy the waters down at Richmond and add nothing to our progression OR direction.

Malthouse seems happy enough to let Buttifant ??? run his players on and off the ground whenever he thinks it's time.FitenFitenWin said:

Exactly, we don't need any of that crap. We would much rather have fat plodders running around keeping us in our rightful spot down the bottom of the ladder.
I reckon the risk with old professionals (especially head strong ones) is that they get stuck in their ways and won't change. Craig's fitness methods may belong to a past generation. Certainly his teams at Adelaide in the last few years weren't particularly succesful getting onto the park.
The benefit is that their experience can sift the nonsense approaches from the effective ones and shorten the period it takes to make real progress with this group. For instance, no more over-bulking up like Astbury did last preseason. Regardless of his injury - such a silly approach probably would've cost the kid a year of effective development and experience anyway.

Let see if he can get Fatty Farmer running any faster. That will be a good guide to how good he is. ;D
We need as many experienced successful people as we can get. Neil Craig has experience and has been successful. I don't suscribe to this theory that he's set in his ways and has fallen behind current methods. If we can recruit players like Miller as a 'mentor' to players than we sure as day can recruit Craig as a 'mentor' to Hardwick. I can't see any downside, and if we can come to a suitable agreement we'd be mad not to give it a go.
