Review When does the Penny drop for Sando

[The Sloane Ranger]

I said it on the day of the Sando appointment that is a high ranking Geelong official told me that Geelong had a key concern with Sando's ability to make the tough call on players

With this in mind there is no doubt that Sando builds strong relationships with his players however 18 months has past and we are yet to see one tough calls on any senior players

In 2012 despite winning Porpy, Vince and Nutter all had long periods out of form, he also picked a unfit Pets for the Prelim and a out of form Callinan for the Prelim

in 2013 Porpy has been poor, then dropped and then won his spot back without playing a game and has been poor since, Radar has been awful in the majority of games, DMac would have been dropped in most other sides and both Pets and Callinan have won their spots back with sanfl form that was sub-Lyon standard however Lyon finds himself back in the two's and has not put a foot wrong

To conclude, I am a SUPPORTER of Sando however if he wants to be a long term coach he needs to be prepared to inject the right level of tension with his players

i agree.
a little bit of the AFC just died inside me tonight. im embarrassed by the effort of most of our team.

 

[Cap]

He can't make tough calls this year.

We have no ****ing draft picks

 

[King Elvis]

He can't make tough calls this year.

We have no ******* draft picks

Forget the draft.

We have better players outside of our team than we do in it.

Sando playing favourites cost us a grand final birth, he needs to wake the **** up.

 

[PCORF]

Blame the players and the team. Not the coach.

 

[hippyhippy]

I think Reilly should be the first to be dropped... Should have been down a while ago

 

[Cap]

Forget the draft.

We have better players outside of our team than we do in it.

Sando playing favourites cost us a grand final birth, he needs to wake the **** up.

Safe to say honeymoon over?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Blame the players and the team. Not the coach.

The coach is the one who continues to pick an out if form Porpy, Radar, VB, D-Mac while keeping out Stiffy, Lyon and Riley

So Stiffy is not in our best 22

The coach is the one who has changed our game to a Geelong like high risk high possession game

The coach is the one who has endorsed VB as the Capt

The coach is the one who has not improved our tackling

 

[Wood_Duck]

We would have won today if we'd picked Stiffy and Lyons.

 

[Sir Vlado]

I always felt pretty positively towards Sanderson, but for the first time I have absolutely 0 confidence in him taking the club in the right direction.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Yep the spike has been whacked and now it looks like this....

 

[xchadders]

agreed. and its frightening.

 

[ep2018]

You guys have injuries galore, don't blame tonight on Sando

 

[Sir Vlado]

You guys have injuries galore, don't blame tonight on Sando

We have Walker injured. I can't name anyone else at the moment.

 

[RippaRiley43]

You guys have injuries galore, don't blame tonight on Sando

Not really. Walker, Shaw, Mackay, Johnston. Only one is definitely best 22.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

We would have won today if we'd picked Stiffy and Lyons.

Just a stupid comment

Building a side starts at the top

It starts with the naming of your Capt

It follows with the selection of your leadership group

It follows with the selection of your side

 

[Wood_Duck]

Just a stupid comment

You set the tone

 

[Cap]

This is not a coach issue.

This is the sins of the administration.

Sand has no option than to go hard this year, he can't build a team he wants his administration has lost all the decent inputs.


Heads should roll after tonight, but a few of those should be at board level

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

I always felt pretty positively towards Sanderson, but for the first time I have absolutely 0 confidence in him taking the club in the right direction.

People criticized Craigy for gold passes

people criticized Craigy for no plan B

People criticized Craigy for playing players out of position

People criticized Craigy for scripted unlike Adelaide press conferences

With all this in mind Sndo needs to realize that players are coach killers and he can't avoid the tough calls on players

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Cap

You don't think that Stiffy and Lyon are in our best 22

You don't think that Sando made a defining error in selecting Pets and Nutter in the Prelim

you don't think that at any stage Porpy or Dmac could have been dropped this year

My concern is this, Sando has an extremely Cosy relationship with the large core of players and players are playing with little fear of being dropped

Let's not sugar coat this, regardless of the Tippett situation there were payers that should have been dropped this year and there were pkayers available to come in to the side with better frm in the sanfl

 

[King Elvis]

Our selection panel is sending us into games with a hand behind our back.

Sando is a terrible game day coach.

 

[xchadders]

never thought i would say this.... when is bailey back?

 

[pjcrows]

Sando playing favourites cost us a grand final birth, he needs to wake the **** up.

? Sando cost us a Grand Final?

What a ridiculous comment.

 

[King Elvis]

? Sando cost us a Grand Final?

What a ridiculous comment.

Playing favourites did.
