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.

Not conjecture about the match day coaching, personal observation. I don't think he was a very good match day coach.

The rest is reading the tea leaves, it's pretty obvious what's happening. The reasons may not be as obvious and which players are involved but there may be fallout from those close to Sando then again probably not. When Lyon unseated Harvey there was noise for a week or 2 then the players got on with it.

    To be fair I would rather Danger than Goodwin.

    Well...we do HAVE a coach, we don't have a Dangerfield (yet possibly )

    Geez, they're throwing out gems everywhere. Someone's got to get it correct sooner or later. Even a stopped clock is right twice per day.

    "Brenton is a quality person and accomplished coach, but recent weeks have unearthed a need for change," Chapman said.

    "Both parties have realised they have different perspectives on where we are at as a footy team.

    Sounds like the players have decided, once again, they don't like the coach.

    Blight had the best idea, he got rid of the troublemakers before they could get rid of him.

    Didn't have a lot to say at the interview and apparently forgot to wear pants.

    Excellent power point presentation may have saved him.

    How do you get to Adelaide on Twitter? Is that a new airline? :lol:

    Not sure but apparently better than being there in person.

    went there once, like a bigger version of Geelong (where i live); not a good thing.

    lives up to the title of West Horsham, it really does

    I expect this kind of tomfoolery from the likes of us and St. Kilda but the Crows? Something isn't right.

  • Quote

    Seems to me it went something along the lines of:

    Patty: I'm sick of this coach, I'm going to play under Roos and Goodwin for the rest of my career.

    AFC: We'll sack Sanderson this very afternoon and get Goodwin to coach here.

    Patty: I'm staying!

    Well, maybe not. Possible scenario though.

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

    And lost his right-hand-man and experienced second-in-command in Dean Bailey, first through suspension, then through cancer.

    So far we have Goodwn, Dew and Thompson as options, or certainties, for the Crows with maybe Lyon or McKenna thrown in to the mix and it hasn't even been 24 hours since Sando got dumped.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
