Holy crap!!! The last time I saw any AFL news today was around 15:00pm, now I log on to bigfooty and I'm met with this thread! So what have I missed? Who's responsible (besides Sando, obviously)? Who pulled the trigger? Who, what, where, how, and why?
All I can say is FAN-EFFING-TASTIC, my club's finally grown a pair!
P.S. I feel a little sad for Sando, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy and I was willing to give him next year as a last chance, but seeing the club take a strong stance in the pursuit of excellence is a breath of fresh air.
You've missed my point.
I'm not saying that was the case, I'm saying the way they've handled the communication side destroys the perceived credibility of the decision, even if it was the right one.
78 pages for you fabs, start reading!
I don't know about the rest of you but I'm ******* exhausted.
The big fish, Fagan's appointment and now tonight... The last week on here has been more interesting than it was for the actual season.
I'm not a masoch... err I mean a moderator.78 pages for you fabs, start reading!
+1I don't think Fagan "starts" in three weeks time. His press conference also wasn't his starting point. I don't think his "right people in the right seats" line was just a coincidence. Decisions were being made. And I reckon the coaching situation at the club would have been the No 1 talking point during all interviews and discussions, going back however long. It's not hypotheticals either. It's real-time, real-life specifics. This is our club, these are our team results, here are the results of our review, here is the feedback from the players. What do you do?
I fhucking hate Freo, and I f-ing hate Ross Lyon. Seriously they can go jump.No one remembers this s**t in the long run if we win games of football in the wash up. Everyone was so offended by Freo and now Freo are everyone's darling.
Winning is the mother of perception.
We chopped the head of a rotting fish, is that what he ment?Wonder if redhorse knew anything about this haha.
We threw the (cheque) book at Clarko and he knocked us back last year, great get if true.Our new coach will be coaching in the GF this year. He will win the cup and be at Adelaide a week or 2 later.
Watch this space.
You will all be shocked.
We had an open cheque book and we have used it.
Hope its not something to do with how Dangerfield, Walker & Sloane are involved in the Alma and how its setup
I've got no issue how it was handled. Kept the media out of it totally, AFC command the story not the media and doesn't allow ferrets like Rucci to twist an angle when there isn't one.
Also makes the media muppets look stupid not to have the story or any inkling of one.
AFC have kept quiet on the Fagan signing and now Sando. Tight, cohesive and united. They've got a definite plan, they're controlling it on their terms and they're acting it out on their terms.
The rest will unfold. How it turns out in the next few years is another thing.
Yep. It's from a Facebook page that pretty much guesses on trades, drafts and other player movement. It posts real stories as well when they happen but it's largely guesswork.Also, I saw something on the pride( an info graphic shared to it), on Facebook about danger requesting a trade to Vic.
That's bullshit right?

Wait till you wake up tomorrow. Cameron is coming to the Crows announcement.
So can anyone tell me is the sando sacked thread on the port board bigger than this one?
Does the AFL need to sanction it? Am not sure this constitutes a conflict of interest. Also, pretty well known so certainly not a behind closed door deal.
