It was completely baffling. Out of all the things Sando could have whinged about to the press and he chose something as petty as a 25 degree day. Even worse still, he mentioned in the presser that he told his players to ignore what he said about the weather in that press conference as he didn't wan't to give them excuses for the underperforming in the next game. Seriously that itself is pretty nuts, and admitting it to the press is even crazier.
It's a shame too because up until that point, he was virtually whinge free. I watched all his pressers and he wouldn't usually complain about anything. Even things he probably should have.
43 degrees here today. 27 is the overnight low. 25 is a cool change ha ha.
I actually liked his whinge at the time but he should have just said it once in a short, sharp, clear statement. He went on too long about it and then rehashed it during the week which he shouldn't have done. When asked about it again during the week just "We've moved on from that ... next question".
Funny thing of course was that it was the club's biggest win of the year by a long way even with the players they lost during the game. Then the next week the Lions flogged Collingwood at the MCG! How can u predict anything in this league?!?!
I had to laugh when Eddie was having a go at Sando for complaining about the heat tho. Gee, is there ANYTHING that may even possibly affect Collingwood adversely that Eddie doesn't have a crack at? Good point by Sando that Collingwood never do play during the day there.
The team performed in the next game ... until the last 5 minutes. Bye bye top 8 chances.
Am currently watching the Crows v Collingwood game on Fox. Amazing how much water under the bridge (the footbridge?) just since then.
