Not sure but apparently better than being there in person.

Was hoping Dangerfield walked out, Sando stayed and we got Goodwin. Turns out Sando sacked, Goodwin a moral for Adelaide and Danger will stay.

Sanderson's match day coaching left a bit to be desired at times, it seems the senior players where not happy and the club have come in and made a decision.

They knew that Danger and other senior players were getting itchy feet and couldn't let them leave the club. They may well have made the best decision in the interests of their club.

I would be surprised if Goodwin is not the next senior coach, the other stuff going on around them at the moment is just a sham.

There'll be more to this than has gotten out so far I have no doubt.

Tip of iceberg ......

The real downside for Melbourne is that where we might have already staked out some claims/trades with respect to Adelaide, it now seems that the new broom has swept all that aside.

It will take them some time to "get their act together" again, and try to understand what the new coach's needs/desires will be.

Similar thing happened to us when Wallace took over at Footscray when we had a deal to get Rohan Smith. All talks get squashed and we are the ones who finish up going back to the drawing board!

The article is certainly interesting, especially considering it stated that both parties felt the need to part ways.

I'm curious if our rumoured offer for Dangerfield (pick 2 and Trengove) had anything to do with this being Adelaide's star player and an offer almost never seen before.

The thing I will say is I felt that Sanderson never left his mark on Adelaide, they didn't have an identifiable style, besides just contested ball.

he did have a tough run though, salary cap issues, banned from drafts

Tippett saga

Tex injured

now it seems the risk of losing players has forced their hand

Sanderson got Roo-ted

He has the best winning ratio of Crows coaches apparently but he didnt fit the 'club" or rather the club within the club

The ferals are feeding !!

Stupid decision he is the scapegoat for the clubs poor decisions, they were a kick away from a grand final berth he lost tippet and walker all last year, had no good draft picks because of the tippet saga and was forced to trade players like Bernie Vince to get back in the draft all stuff out of his control, a massive knee jerk reaction

Also lost Gunston, Bok and Davis just before he began.

Surprised no one has asked the question, but is he an option as successor? First year was excellent, and comes from the Geelong system. Probably not to be honest, but just throwing it out there.

Very surprised though, didn't see this coming at all.

Love how that dimwit Barrett didn't either. Let's hear the excuses he comes up with tomorrow night as to why he had no idea! Pathetic excuse for a journalist. The buffoon is probably still too busy sooking over how his love-child Fyfe got suspended, whilst the anti-christ (Jack) got off.

Quite the compliment, not 'fitting with the club' when that club has been an administrative and list management shambles.

Shot repeatedly in the face by the expansion clubs, then shot themselves in the foot with the idiotic Tippett saga.

Got to wonder if Sanderson has actually been getting a lot more out of the team than circumstances would suggest.

Adelaide could be the new Richmond...

I remember when it was Neeld ,Sando McCartney starting as newbies in 2012?

Seems like that crop are all heading for the scrap heap.

The players seem to be calling the shots now.

Roos demanding 1.5 mill was his way of restoring some hierarchy into this madness.

At least the coach is earning more than the players at our little club.(and the big dollar KPPs have gone)

Theirs is now officially in a spiral.

The dogs will follow.

GWS boys will all be off.

We just need to keep our sh!t together and get to a functioning level.

Plausible but conjectural.

3AW just quoted Danger recently stating that he would stay at Adelaide 'as long as Sando was the coach'.

Someone said on SEN that Goodwin's manager has stated that he isnt interested in the Adelaide job.

Neither of these observations are clear facts but both cast enough doubt on assertions.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
