You have struggled with injuries over the years with your foot problems and a bout of gout. Just wondering if the injuries are washed up?

hey craig i have noticed the new technique with the way you handball. it seems to come off your wrist. I was just wondering if the swans taught you this technique and if so is it more accurate? I personally think it must hurt when you bunt it with the back of your wrist.

HI Craig we have heard you are part of Rhyce's "Rat Pack" Can you tell us a little more about it and what it takes to join the crew?
 
Dean
How do you feel wearing the club’s famous No. 14, prevoiusly worn by legends Kelly and Skilton?

Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of yours. It's wonderful to see the success of a home grown hero.
Who are the players that have been the most challenging to play on and why? Who have you modeled your own game on?

Hey Craig,
Is your body holding up better than previous years ? and are you gaining confidence in your body after every match you play.

Do you think the Swans have a weakness with a wet slippery ball and a wet slippery ground?  All the losses at the SCG this year have been in the rain.  BTW, I thought the last quarter was pretty impressive stuff, particularly from you and Hannebery.

Hi Craig, how are you finding your role as a tagger this season, and is it something you think you'll continue to do or do you think you'll be released at some stage like McVeigh and Jack have? Also how's the foot holding up?
 
Paul G
Hi Craig, Just wondering why it seems recently that the Swans are going down in the close games where at the start of the season they were getting the wins? Has there been a change of mindset or are other teams catching on to us?
