anyway, to this week's game. i actually think the crows have an ok shot this week. the fact that the game is on friday will help them, and at aami stadium anything can happen. should be interesting i reckon

Typical response...

Maybe I should respond in a way you will understand:

Adelaide $2.35 and Bombers $1.59. We all know how woeful the Bomber's record away from home is but they really need to win this one to have any chance of making the finals.

West Coast $2.30 against the Sainters that seems like a heap of value. Yes the Saints have done well recently but I am still not convinced they should be as short as $1.62. I would say the odds should be more like $1.90/$1.90.

Odds for the rest of the games seem about right.

The Crows should go after Malthouse.

i have heard paul roo's mentioned more than once. that would be very interesting.

i think craig might get 1 more year regardless, and then move into a football manager type role. tbh i think that is craig's perfect role, as he seems to be an excellent man manager, and his gameplans are right up there with the best, but his gameday nous is slightly lacking. someone like roos or malthouse would be awesome for that.

in reality, i think what will happen is that craig will coach next year and then they will get simon goodwin back the year after. the other name that gets mentioned a lot is mark bickley, but for some reason i just dont see him as an afl coach, wheras most agree that goodwin will be really good.

Malthouse won't be at a club outside Collingwood next year.

No matter what happens with Craig he is employed by the crows so if the decided he wasn't the man to coach the crows he would still be a part of the football department. Simon Goodwin a name I haven't heard in awhile, what is he doing @ the moment?
& could you see Malthouse as director of coaching.

Really? He's an assistant at Essendon.

Really? He's an assistant at Essendon.

yeah in the off season there was pretty much a mad scramble to try and get goodwin as a coach, and (wisely) he decided to spend some time away from the crows, and managed to get signed by essendon
