    He is an extremely impressive guy. I love listening to him talk and hearing his views.

    It would've been a very hard decision for him and the crows to come to.

    Credit to Neil Craig - he is a obviously a man of his word and has ended this in a truly professional and honest manner. Can walk away with his head held high IMO.

    We obviously don't know the full story if he was pushed or guided towards that decision but the one thing he would never do is say anything negative about the administration or the players because he has way too much integrity for that.

    Handled well by Craig. No great shock really.

    Agreed.

    The first indications were his press conference following the game.

    Probably a good decision by the Crows, as I guess not a whole lot was to be gained by keeping him on until the end of the year. Craigy Mk2 now gets his chance.

    Inevitable really, but Craig handled himself well.

    Not as a coach I wouldn't think, but probably a role for him somewhere if not the Crows.

    It's strange Australian sport, overseas we tend to see coaches getting various jobs & having a fairly long coaching career.

    Over here, things tend to operate differently & even though Craig has done well with Adelaide for the most part, he won't find another job.

    Yes, If Port has half a brain he will be standing behind Primus next year. He would also be a good fit for Crazy Vossy too.
