Surely too early for Goodwin?

You would think so, even a few Adelaide supporters suggesting the same.

But who else? Tudor? Was seriously in the running last time round if the rumours are true.

Watch this space, especially if McKenna joins him.

    Ru wants his mate to coach, we were about to sign him and they jumped early.

    Simple really...

    What a silly decision!

    They made the Prelim in his first year, FCS. Struggled last year without Tippett and Walker, then were unlucky not to make it this year in an even field.

    Clearly the Crows brains trust are impatient and jealous of the success of Port Adelaide. They'll be back to square one when Goodwin doesn't yield better results next year.

    One does not simply trade Bernie Vince in Adelaide. He's the kingmaker

    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

    Well, I don't think anyone saw that coming!! Deals still to be done.........

    Hey, did anyone hear? Sanderson's been sacked apparently. Can't confirm, not sure of source, but you heard it here first!

  • Quote

    Seems a tad ruthless, must be some truth in the unhappy senior player rumour.

  • Quote

    I think he is very unlucky.

    He lost Tippett, had draft restrictions and Walker was injured a lot.

    Ruthless industry. Not much patience.

    Maybe we wanted Sando insteade of Goodwin!

    New CEo from Canberra Rugby looks like a dumbo.Fagan

    Sports admin has to be one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.

    As the admin grows, the sport,team,comp etc gets worse.

    It wasn't broke and they tried to fix it.

    Timing cant be accidental can it.

    So massive payout to Sando, payout to assistants. Unreal. He had to have lost the players (Danger and Walker etc). Potentially our massive loss all round.

    Seems there was a bit of friction between the coach and certain players. They don't come out and say it, but it sounds a hell of a lot like the club decided it was more important to keep the boys happy than keep the coach.

    Last I heard Danger was a supporter of Sando.

    Interesting times ahead.

    Fantastic news!

    Improves our chances of acquiring Dangerfield.

    Depending on coach probably decreases it if Danger didnt like Sanderson?

    I think the opposite.

    Don't underestimate how significantly destabilizing the whole club less than a month before trade week can play on player's minds.

    Fascinating, irrational decision. Haven't a clue if this bodes well or poorly for us with the Danger rumors. Likewise Goodwin. Did they decide any apprentice good enough for Roos was simply too good to pass up? Did Danger tell them he wants out and this is a desperate attempt to keep Tex and Sloane from leaving? Hard to say just yet.

    Yep! Disrupts our plans, but I accept that that's the price to pay for getting to watch an Adelaide trainwreck for a few weeks.

    Happens a bit with teams in towns , without too many teams... All gets a bit incestuous etc.

    I think the Crows are bloody mad for this. Watch them slide .

    Sandersons sacking will become known as Fagans Folly!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
