Sanderson a Scapegoat

Will the Crows make Sanderson a scapegoat in a few years time when the list is a mess due to the fines and draft picks lost when the they are at the bottom of the table with no decent players when age sets in.

Could he sue them for false representation of a football club and lack of honesty.
(Being serious here).

Could do damage to his reputation through no fault of him own but by mis-mangement by club officials.

If they are found guilty of the now Van Berlo charges is Rob Chapman now in the gun for his quote?

Geez u numb skulls have to much time on your hands to think up this sh*t :roll:

The list is in the best possible state to handle the sanctions we will rightfully recieve.

No denying the impact will be felt by the list but it wont be as great as the non AFC supporters would ideally like it to be :lol:

Do you write for the age? ;)

Let's just wait until Monday before saying the AFC will not take part in the next 15 drafts.

Sanderson has proven to be a first class coach and his future is assured. Either at the Crows or back at Collingwood when they discover the "lets dump Mick and install Buckley" plan was a dud.

Now now only making an observation as an outsider.

Funny thing thou the same questions were asked on the morning sports show this morning.

Logical question it seems.

Buckley is coach for life while Eddie is the president

From my perspective, big mistake to get rid of Malthouse and replace him with Buckley, although thats probably for another thread.

Not that I'm sure what this particular thread is about.

Buckley is a very good chance to coach Collingwood to a premiership within 3 years. If he does, it will be Mick...Who ?

I shake my head with some things you post from time to time Fourth Estate, for someone with as much footy knowledge as you have on occasions your posts amaze me. :roll:

And yes I know I am no angel either, but regardless of what happens Sanderson will never be the scapegoat and I believe he will keep this side up in the top 4 to 6 over the next few years


Perhaps stayed focussed at the problems at the other club than worrying about the crows ;)

At times we need to think outside the square and not the obvious. Am not the only person who thinks this but many good football commentators are of the same opinion .

I do feel sorry for Sando with the mess that is happening around him which is not his fault.

When Carlton was wacked with loss of Draft picks their coach was canned a year later when they fell down the list. Denis Pagan was brought into right the ship for season 2003 and with the lack of picks the team crashed and was given the flick mid 2007. Carlton played finals in 2001 and then in 2002 were busted and paid the price.

The Crows have been told by the AFL after their last infringement that they would be heavily penalised next time. Now my mail is and my AFL info is seldom wrong that they will be penalised heavy this time with both draft picks and fines.

I do fell sorry for Sando but the Crows board had better have some patience with what could develop over the next few years and realise that it is not Sando's fault but theirs.

No doubt heads will roll down their with Trigg the main scape goat.

The only people in denial are Crows fans who look at this with rose coloured glasses.

What a load of crap. You are one of the biggest defenders of the crows on this site. Come out of the closet Locky.
