On 5AA tonite Sando spoke the following:
Its not verbatim but there were some interesting comments I thought...bolded below
Need to mature quicker.
Won more quarters than Geelong.
Third best attack in the competition.
Good clearance numbers.
Defence = 11th…numbers were the same as last year because the game has changes.
14 of 18 crows players are not defending when they get the ball.
Eddie Betts had a great season.
Effort is consistent but execution was poor.
Won 10 first quarters and went onto win 8 of those games.
Too often we are too easy to play against.
Players need to adjust on the field when we play a poor quarter.
Too often we wait for the quarter to end before making on-field changes within a quarter.
Danger and Sloane-dog done a terrific job with VB out.
We were 12th for tackling differential
We don’t turn the ball other more than any other team (i.e. Hawthorn) but its where we turn it over.
Inside 50s against we are too high this year.
Starts, Tackling, Record at Home – priority’s we need to work on.
Can’t think clearly late in games – no on field leadership. [ North Melbourne game was an example)
We need more match simulation over summer to finish off games.
Pressure, Fear Panic and Anxiety needs to be eliminated for the ability to win the close ones.
He’s gutted and disappointed at this year’s effort.
Encouraged all crows players to buy a GF ticket and go and watch it.
Has tons of belief in the group – do need to keep teaching and coaching.
Tippett Gate hurt us but it’s no excuse.
7, 8 or 9 changes to list, will occur this year.
Melb offered Bernie a 4 year contract – we couldn’t match it.
We would match a 4 year contract to keep Danger.
Pick 9 should give us a good pick.
Need a bloke with 6 or 7 dot points for Baileys replacement and help on match day.
Campo and Jonah out of contract – New CEO appointment will see either re appointment
Defence 11th in competition doesn’t necessarily make Milburn a bad coach.
We can get fitter 165 avg to 120 interchanges.
Need to work on speed rather than aerobics {which was the case more-so last year}
November 5 = 1st day back at training and ruthless.
Team defence will be the priority over summer.
Not feared.
Hand full of blokes going in for surgery.
JJ has attributes to be a key defender
Malcheski is on radar.
Haven’t spoken to Goldsack [because he’s still playing]
Bomber Thompson is Sandos mentor and is possibly walking away from footy next year.
Worsfold – probably won’t get him.
Goodwin would be great.
Developing Mongrel & Leadership is Sandos weakness [although he said he has plenty].
He doesn’t coach enough!! i.e. He needs someone to attend a 2 hour medical meeting on his behalf and give him a 5 minute piece of feedback.
