Scenario one is the DEFINITE. I said it in the other thread on the day that Sando was sacked and I'll say it again...our new coach is from those remaining in the finals.

Everyone will be shocked. Crows supporters WILL be happy and also VERY proud that their so called "basket case" club has pulled off the coup of the century.
You know this how, gut feel or something more?

I will say this also. The media are still annoyed that they were blind sided. Many saying that the AFC were unprofessional and some media outlets are still spreading that mantra.

Make no mistake, AFC IS a professional club. Do you really think they haven't been working on this since the day they lost to Melbourne at Adelaide Oval? Coach(es) has (have) been signed, sealed and delivered.

I do believe this, I dont believe the discussion of sacking was something that took place recently but rather some time back.

I dunno about anyone else, but I much prefer it to be quick and clean rather then spend months and months dealing with media speculation. Of course that's what the media wants because they get a ton of mileage out of it, so I can understand why they'd be annoyed. Prefer what happened then what GC are dealing with where Bluey seems like a lame duck coach going into next year.

Team? Quantity over quality? No Clarko/Longmire?
From what Fagan was saying on the radio they plan on getting a nice mix of experienced and inexperience in the box. So I could see them adding a ROK type to the box if they nab a Premiership coach like Clarko in there. Or if they get a rookie head coach like Bassett or Dew, then they're going to put up a lot of experienced coaches in the box to support him.

If it was Dew then yes they obviously will wait till next week, if its Bassett why not make the call now?

Once this is all announced, people will realise that the AFC have handled this exceptionally well. It is no mean feat to have kept it under wraps like we they did.

Respect to Sando, but the club had no choice if it wanted to progress to the next level.
Too much has been linking up, I have felt we have Clarkson due to all of it..
But I just haven't wanted to think it's the case TOO much..
