But if he is a spud in 2015, that's not a good thing for our Club.
Talia strikes me as a man that should be named our Captain.
Sando sacked - confirmed **** crows only ****

Fagan has told Noble that he is safe as houses
All other CEO Direct reports on notice incl Smart and Harper, unlikely to survive
im pretty pissed with penbo coming out on radio and throwing a kid like matty crouch under the bus, the club need to take the crow ambassador title off him, some ******* crows fan he is, what a campaigner.
I Think if there was anything in Roo calling Goody then Goody wouldnt have said that he got a phone call to he media
Seeing as Roo & Goody are best mates i would have thought Goody would have mentioned the Melbourne job to him before this phone call Roo isnt dumb he wasnt trying to convince Goody to come here
just tweeted him to hand in his crows ambassador title, absolute prick

Didn't Roo categorically rule out a player movement like that? Why would our ambassador be trying to spread that sort of rubbish?
Mates with Sando.
FFS guys ... VB is captain and so he should remain.
Danger and Sloane and Talia's time to work out which one of them is the captain is down the track.
It's basically an internal appointment - the players are the only opinions that matter on this topic AFAIK.
They all want VB, let it go.

Completely unrelated but seeing as this thread has turned into a chat room:
How the HELL can't the Swans get more people to a preliminary final than we get to a mid-season Sunday arvo game?!

Do they? They all wanted Sando a few days ago.
I guess no matter how many premierships the AFL give them, not that many people really care in Harbour town.

If you need to give a team artificial success to attract supporters, eventually they start to see winning as the norm. We that suffer through rebuilds and heartbreaking losses know that opportunities don't come around very often.
With COLA, they do. No hurry to get to this prelim, there'll always be more...
he is no crows fan, throws a first year kid to the wolves, disgraceful

Great response.
GTFO! Pembo an ambassador? surely your taking the piss
Bobba?
The football department cap is a 'soft cap' - the club can spend over it, but it just means that they'll then have to start paying substantial tax as part of the equalisation fund...
I'm comfortable with that arrangement

Sanderson's relationship with the younger players was definitely a massive problem.
I've heard from a few different people over the last few days that those boys had little to no contact with him, and that he didn't show much interest in their development as footballers in terms of reviewing their performances, advising them on areas they could improve etc. They really didn't like him but in the interests of professionalism they put their heads down and continued working. It seems that a lot of them felt that they weren't learning anything from him and that he just wasn't the right man for the job.
This all came out in the review, and the general feeling is that while it wasn't the only reason for his sacking it was definitely one of the factors the board would have considered when making their decision.
It's tough for Sando because there have been several extenuating circumstances for the club's inconsistent form over the past 2 seasons, but the board have obviously decided that regardless of those factors, he just wasn't up to the job. Time will tell whether that was the right decision or not but I think it's pretty clear that relative to their talent, this group of players has massively underperformed in the last 2 seasons, and that responsibility ultimately falls on the senior coach.
