maybe we can hire him as an assistant to replace teague

[gringo]

definitely grab him if available. Then if Richo is a dud we have Luke bevo and him waiting in the background.

This is Adelaide's statement (what does the bit about "different perspectives" mean?):

The Adelaide Football Club and Senior Coach Brenton Sanderson have agreed to part ways.

This follows an extensive review of the Club’s entire football operations.

Chairman Rob Chapman, Board directors Andrew Payze and Mark Ricciuto, Head of Football David Noble and Sanderson have been involved in the post-season analysis.

“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.

“It is a tough decision but one the Club feels pushes us closer to realising our ambitions.

“We would like to thank Brenton for his contribution and wish him every success.”

The Club is embarking upon a nationwide search for a new Senior Coach.

one story was Leadership team approached the board......


Our coach and team appear to be on the same page


No to sanderson- -- don't know what but don't like his manner

[St.Rob8]

Underperforming List? Need a bit more backbone to get to the next level?

Enter the Lyon.

Enter Simon Goodwin.

They are losing their s***/panicking because they cant handle seeing Port successful

Vossy? Basset?

Surely Lyon wont jump ship with 3 years left on his contract?

[saintjake]

If I remember correctly, I remember an interview with Dangerfield about him leaving the Crows and he said something like "as long as Sando is here, I'm staying"


Could be an interesting few days

same thought occurred to me....

[evertonfc]

Would love to have him come to us but that won't happen.

He's odds-on to get the next available job - be it at the Dogs or Gold Coast. Even Melbourne should make him an assistant to Roos before a transition.

This guy can coach. Ask anyone at Geelong.

It will be Simon Goodwin.

Sack a coach out of the blue for an untried coach in Goodwin, who's been up to his eyeballs in a drug scandal?

Don't rate Sanderson as a coach, but if it's signed & sealed as Goodwin already, stupid move that may backfire massively..

Apart from the drug scandal part isn't that what we did.

Thats a pretty big "apart".

I don't think he was found to be at fault at all though. maybe I am wrong but that's what I remember.

And the rumblings about Watters' lunatic antics were coming thick and fast...

Yep and maybe its similar in Adelaide. You don't sack a coach like that unless there is some sort of unrest. Well common sense suggests that.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Good to see another club acting like rabble.

[Dave McNamara]

I don't know if he can coach or not, but gee, he was unlucky.

Two seasons back they were looking good, then the whole Tippet thing happened.

Sanderson lost his key forward/best ruckman (according to many),
then lost the draft picks that could well have provided the finishing touches to a possible premiership contender,
then lost his other power forward (Walker) to long term injury.

The debacle that caused the loss of Tippet and those draft picks wasn't the coach's doing. Unbeknowns to him, the administration were doing secretive illegal off-the-books player payments.

So, welcome Trigg back (who then walked out on them anyway ), and sack the coach...

That sux Crones...



As for Goodwin, I've heard he ain't so far from the pointy end of things when it comes to the Effndope scandal. Wouldn't want him anywhere near my club.

[mohannair]

With tongue in cheek I would propose Rossy Lyon to quit Freo and take a massive offer from Crows.

History repeating guys!!!

it means he thought they were ok but they didn't.

[Enrico_Misso]

He hasn't completely stuffed the Dockers list yet.
He would feel he has another chance there next year - but maybe his last?

Yes - a team in total disarray - Dermie and a bunch of other footy commentators will frothing at the mouth to tell us all about it

They actually have a huge bunch of under 24's playing each week, so they aren't heading anywhere near our 2011-zone yet.
