Anderson gone

Posted by Murph at Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Labels:
In an exclusive report, The Age is announcing that Adrian Anderson has resigned from his role as Football Operations Manager at the AFL and may depart as soon as Christmas.

Amid the tumultuous cheering, let's just reflect on the influence of Anderson during his nine years near the top of the AFL.

  • Restructuring the Tribunal and implementing the Match Review Panel:
    Hardly an unqualified success. The formulaic approach to assessing incidents on the field works reasonably well in general, but cannot cope with anything out of the ordinary.
  • Video technology to assist in goal-line scoring decisions:
    Little better than a dog’s breakfast.
These two areas of the game, both Anderson's responsibility, have been a blight on the game and we can't say we're sorry to see the architect departing. We don't know Anderson personally and bear him no personal ill will, but we're particularly pleased at today's announcement.
