A bit of fun.

On a serious note, I wonder if Sanderson sees himself more a senior coach than an assistant? Maybe he will explore the senior route first if one comes up.

He'd probably would.

I'm really happy with that Melbourne coaching appointment. Much happier than I have ever been with another club's coaching appointment.

I'm perplexed on that one as well Twodogs. Happy for Melbourne or happy at their expense?

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

How are the teams Laidley and Eade working with going at present?

Please re-read my post, I said in their style, as in known for their tactical nouse.

Even so how do you know that they are not working wonders? What would they be like without them there?

My key point being on match day we have at times shown to be outplayed tactically, and suggesting that Sando is a good assistant will not address that issue. (That's not to say he does not have other very positive traits)

Well, I don't differ from you on your last point. If you read through the threads where this has been discussed over the last couple of years you'll note that I sit on the fence one way or another, as I think we've sacrificed a lot of match day tactics for training over time.

I don't think there's enough evidence to engage a highly paid tactical coach to advise McCartney at this point in time, because at the end of the day you need to make sure you have the talent at your disposal first and foremost. We're building that talent, but we're not there yet.

As for the teams Laidley and Eade are involved in, they play in a different spending league than we do when it comes to assistants. I question their effectiveness and I don't know how bad their clubs would be without them. I just think for us we'll be better off getting talent on our list and developing them like we have been these past two or three years.

Not to mention the teams both Eade and Laidley coached continually failed to beat the best teams of their day, and were regularly on the receiving ends of hidings on the big stage.

For me the concept of winning games based on match day moves is out of date. In the modern era teams win flags based on the work that is done during the preseason and to a lesser degree during the week. Having the whole team play a certain way and behave in predictable fashion to particular scenarios is what wins premierships, not the occasional surprise match up that lasts 5-10 mins.

Happy for Adelaide in a sarcastic way. I'm sure they would have thought Goodwin would be available when they gave Sanderson the lemonade.

Gotcha. Agree totally then.

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

A few clubs have apparently been courting Sando as an experienced/senior assistant. With Monty our senior assistant now gone and Sando's pedigree from Geelong, very good winning record & finals at Adelaide and now running the AFL elite junior pathways I wonder if we would be one of these clubs looking to recruit him into the coaching panel.

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

Hes a quality candidate for anything coaching or recruiting related. I coukd see a few clubs interested.

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

Good pedigree Sanderson

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

I saw him at the game the other night. Probably there supporting Bucks but you never know.

Re: Sanderson Sacked?

Good get for recruiting with McCartney and use him to replace Monty. Has Bevo worked with him before ?
