Tigers fume over Sandilands
By Nathan Schmook
9:20 PM Sat 18 Aug, 2012



RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick has questioned whether Fremantle's late inclusion of Aaron Sandilands in Saturday's match at Patersons Stadium was in the "spirit of the game", drawing a strong response from Ross Lyon.

Fremantle ruckman Jon Griffin "tweaked his groin" in the final on-ground warm-up and was withdrawn 10 minutes before the opening bounce, with Sandilands included to play a key role in his team's 22-point win.

There was speculation on Saturday morning that Sandilands would play his first game in more than two months, with the 2009 club champion named as an emergency.
 
Asked if he thought Sandilands was always going to play on Saturday, Hardwick said: "Look, that's within the rules. Whether it's in the spirit of the game, I don't know. That's for you guys (media) to find out".

Hardwick was then asked whether he thought Griffin's injury was genuine.

"I think everyone knows the answer to that question in here. Listen, you guys take that further, I've said enough on that," he said.

"You prepare one way and then all of a sudden, something happens and you've got to start preparing another way."

Lyon's response was emphatic on Saturday night. He challenged anyone doubting the legitimacy of Griffin's injury to provide evidence.   

"I'm on record here, this is bona fide and legitimate, and if anyone wants [to make] accusations outside of that they're well and truly out of line and want to be really careful," he said.

"There is no ruse here. If anyone is calling us liars, they'd want to be really strong and have strong evidence."

Asked if he would speak to Hardwick to clear the air, Lyon said: "What for? Not interested. He’s a really good person, a really good coach, but we take the four points and move on".
 
Lyon said Griffin told him he wasn't "confident to play" after tweaking an adductor in the warm-up and Sandilands, who had been completing his own warm-up inside, was called on two minutes before the team ran onto the ground.

"I called [the players] over into a group - that'll be on camera - and I said, 'I don't want to shock you but Aaron's in and Jon's out'," Lyon said.

"When I spoke to Aaron, Aaron didn't even know who had gone out of the team.

"I understand what people think, but the reality is, I can't put it any clearer ... we always warm up our emergencies."

Sandilands hadn't played at AFL level since round 11, but he returned to have 33 hit-outs and nine clearances in a strong performance, giving his team a midfield edge.

It was enough to convince Lyon that Griffin, who will be assessed, could struggle to get back in the team for next Sunday's crunch game against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

"When you give your spot up it’s hard to get back in, which is good for me but bad for Jon and great for Aaron," Lyon said.

"It’s really difficult to play both. Aaron’s performed and (Kepler) Bradley’s performed. It’s a tough ruthless business ... but we can’t delve into how people feel, it’s how they act."

Hardwick has a legitimate case! The Giant freak wasn't named even as an emergency. He killed us in he ruck, gave them first use of the ball enabling them to set up othe rebound. Anyone who thinks Sandilands wasn't the difference in this game is kidding themselves!  Freo should be fined thousands, they clearly breached the rules.

I think the fact he was officially scratched off the team list when they were lodged is the issue. If Sandilands was always going to play ( I think he was) then he should of been named when the team was lodged.

Lyon seems to enjoy springing surprises when conducting his football business.

still it does happen occassionally.. its not as if the coaches didnt prepare for him playing during the week, or once they saw the final lists without the big freak did they throw the sandilands plan book into the shredder?  ;D

I agree, we would have had no Sandilands game plan, but we would have had one for Griffen. He should have been named when the original team sheet was submitted if he was always going to play, thats the rules. Things like this can open up a can of worms. Teams could do this every week and we would never know who is playing and who is not.

Griffin was 'injured'. It's not a question of whether he was always going to play or not, it wasnt a late swap for team balance/structure etc

Agree with this 100% if we can't beat them with him in the side then we aren't good enough
Who cares we lost it exposed anther weakness that is a back up ruckmen
The real issue is that birthday boy missed is we lacked big men
A good coach would now be looking at our deficiencies and in efficiencies and building a more competitive list for 2013
Hardwick has been three years into the system and he is still behaving  immature
We had more worries than sandilands yesterday

Sandilands was injured in first 5 mins last game and Griffin took over and beat Maric last time. So Griffin did not play this game and Sandilands  beat MAric yesterday.

Fact of the matter is that HArdwick had plans for both ruckman and neither worked. Should have gone into the game with 2 rucks to really worked over Sandilands or Griffin.

Hardwick made the error in planning/coaching.

Which second ruckman should we have brought into the game? Gus, Browne? Neither are in career best form.
Griff going down hurts a bit.

And it is laughable Ross Lyon sitting around talking about honesty, the bloke who broke a contract so he could take more money from a club that blinded side their previous coach

And btw Griffen certainly didn't look at all proppy during the warm up yesterday, was jumping well during the warm up

Maric should know that he can't beat Sandilands in a ruck contest. He's about 10cm and 20kg short.

Username: is right. Maric should have just kneed him in the chest all day, but Maric should do that by his own decision - shouldn't need to be told to do that by your coach. That's what Brendan Lade always did.


I remember watching footage of Sandilands ruck against Steven King when King was at St Kilda. Sandilands was scared sh!tless of King because of his physical style of play. Maric needs to be ruthless next time. And Geez Geez seeing McGuane in the centre bounce against Sandilands...oh my...

That is exactly how i feel. The bloke just cannot say words to the effect of 'i am not lying' anymore when he has told some whoppers to his former club and the wider footballing public in the past. He seems to have a very low value base when it comes to his football business.

We shoul offer Ross two million I reckon he'll come over he's that honest and loyal
Albeit he is a super tactical coach and he is worth every buck he's getting at freo and he's no cuddly teddy bear with the players
He gives you about two chances and if you screw up your papers are stamped ie jack Antony
This guy doesn't care about pretty footy he aims to win I believe hardwick should try and  to some of his tactics
if he wants  any ideas on professional coaching Ross is the man
I don't bag winners he's out coached hardwick for three years now
Freo struggled to beat us the gee before Ross era
this year he squeezed us so hard I even felt the players pain in the stands
The fact is he has 12 wins on the board and Dimmer has 9
I know what I prefer Ross plus fyfe rather than hardwick and Griffo

Now, lets have a look and see where i was critical of Lyon leaving St. Kilda. Oh, its not there. What i am critical of is that Lyon decieved St. Kilda into thinking he was remaining with them when the whole time he was dealing with Freo behind their backs. Its not his decision to leave but how he did it.(And how Freo did it also).

What i am super critical of is this pious act of sitting in front of the camera and telling people he is not a liar when he in actual fact is, as we all have at times. You cannot claim some moral high ground when in the past his football dealings have been less than transparent.

he will win a flag at freo


think about this

on the biggest ground in oz, he can still squeeze a suffocate teams and not allow them to find space

they still get the score on the board and his style is not boring its effective

stuff pretty footy , its results that matter , dont see any purple muppets whining about ross lyon now

Il reply to your post.

Lyon did not deceive anyone, either last year or on Saturday.

All he did was seek employment elsewhere whilst working for another. Something i think most people have done in their life time.

So was he supposed to hang around and wait for the offer or worse sacked.

They had no offer for him so in your eyes he was supposed to chill out and just wait for the offer to come.

Get real. This is a business pal and i actually applaud what Lyon did. Freo and how they do business is another story.

He looked after his family something i would have no hesitation in doing, given the same chance.

Yeah fair enough about the shifty eyes.

However, I believe Lyon had one year to run on his contract. Why would St Kilda want to make him another offer with a year to run? If it happened at Tigerland there would be a riot among the supporters.

Good luck to him doing what is best by his family. Did he think of Mark harvey's family in the process?

Lmfao at u spuds bagging Lyon

As if none of you would leave that rabble Stkilda thus looking after your family with a 5 yr deal

Hahahaha dishonest ooh please. Shiftiest eyes. Gee we have some homos on here
Daniel, sorry if having an opinion that differs to yours qualifies me as a spud or even a homo. Both insults don't in fact worry me at all.

Now, lets have a look and see where i was critical of Lyon leaving St. Kilda. Oh, its not there. What i am critical of is that Lyon decieved St. Kilda into thinking he was remaining with them when the whole time he was dealing with Freo behind their backs. Its not his decision to leave but how he did it.(And how Freo did it also).

What i am super critical of is this pious act of sitting in front of the camera and telling people he is not a liar when he in actual fact is, as we all have at times. You cannot claim some moral high ground when in the past his football dealings have been less than transparent.

well you know what GR i was referring to that other tosser who said Lyon had shifty eyes. LMFAO at that one.

Il reply to your post.

Lyon did not deceive anyone, either last year or on Saturday.

All he did was seek employment elsewhere whilst working for another. Something i think most people have done in their life time.

So was he supposed to hang around and wait for the offer or worse sacked.

They had no offer for him so in your eyes he was supposed to chill out and just wait for the offer to come.

Get real. This is a business pal and i actually applaud what Lyon did. Freo and how they do business is another story.

He looked after his family something i would have no hesitation in doing, given the same chance.

tosser hey, can you carry a conversation without having to
to name call to get your point across. :thumbsup :lol

Good Post  :thumbsup

this thread is all hot air, Sandilands was emergency & that means RFC should consider him playing. He did & they spanked us. Dimma does too much talking for me. Club needs to shut up & play football & get some real footballers cause some of them are list cloggers

pretty muich my sentiments TM, if he was emergency, we would/should have factored him in to our plans so whats the big deal? I know the question was asked by media, but Dimma came across as a bit of a whinger imho

AFL investigating Freo for late Sandilands inclusion
By Matt Thompson
Mon 20 Aug, 2012


THE AFL is formally investigating the circumstances surrounding ruckman Aaron Sandilands' late call up into the Fremantle side to take on Richmond at Paterson Stadium on Saturday.

Fremantle has been asked to explain why Griffin couldn't take his place in the side and justify the extent of his injury.

Why is this an indictment on Dimma and the RFC?
Did they bring it up in the press conference?
Was there a representative of the RFC board at the press conference?
Did they ask the AFL to investigate?

You didn't answer my question.

I don't need a limerick, i asked for an answer as to why Dimma and the RFC are an idictment on the game. Last i checked, it was Freo being investigated.

I get this feeling you don't like Dimma or RFC and, like a few more on here, you can't wait for a loss to justify your dislike for them.

kid? :lol Wish i was.
Now i suggest you watch the presser. The press did the barking. And a few still are, like Dunstall on Fox.
I didn't ridicule you, i just asked why Dimma and RFC are an indictment? You cannot provide an answer so you post things like McG being thrown into the ruck. Well i'll answer that, Griff went down. Is that Dimma's fault?
Once again, try not to read or listen with such bias. If you don't rate him or RFC at least try not to let that unduly influence you opinions. It may turn into bigotry.

Dimma's just frustrated that we couldn't get the job done. Sandiland's led Freo just too good.
Reckon he would regret the inference in hindsight and no surprise the club didn't lodge an official complaint.

Post by: one-eyed on August 21, 2012, 07:06:06 PM
THE AFL will take no action against Fremantle over the late inclusion of ruckman Aaron Sandilands in the win over Richmond last Saturday.

Football operations manager Adrian Anderson said the AFL had received a medical certificate on Griffin’s condition from Fremantle's medical staff along with a copy of his MRI report.

The scan indicated an acute adductor strain which the club doctor said occurred during the team warm up.

"Following consultation with the AFL Medical Commissioners the AFL is satisfied with the explanation provided and no further action will be taken," an AFL statement said.

Seriously, who cares.

He was named in the 25 man squad, surely they did some prep for the match having Sandilands as a chance to play.

Clutching at straws and been a total beat up by the media.

Hardwick asked who? What exactly?

Hardwick was asked a question by the media, he answered, they asked the same question again, he said he wasn't making any further comment and then said he'd leave it to the media to work it out

media then goes into the Freo presser and says "Damien Hardwick said BLAH BLAH". Ross (Mr Honesty I'm not) Lyon says don't question my integrity BLAH, BLAH and next thing we have the standard media headline search on for the week. Followed by selective reporting on what was asked and what was answered

Would think that as a result it qualifies as a media beat up

Hardwick knew exactly what he was doing by answering the way he did, its not as if he held back. Reckon if he had his time over, he wouldnt go down that path again, came across as very odd and silly.

 He was an emergency so should have been planned for, so why even get upset over it?

Hardwick described his comment about Sandilands' inclusion during the press conference after the game as "irrational".

"That's just how it goes. It’s an emotional game, footy," he said.

"We move on pretty quickly. We're big boys.

"We make some irrational comments at times and that was one from me."
