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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
