Thankfully Sanderson learn his craft at a Victorian club that built a list and developed success from doing that instead of hanging onto every little bit of hope that the best 22 theory will win a premiership and squeeze every bit of life of of them.
He understands that a premiership is won by a squad of 35 to 38 players, not your best 22.
We may have only lost the preliminary final by a few points last year but we still need to find a way of getting better and getting better for the next few years, just in case we don't get that change to win the premiership this year.
Thankfully Sanderson came from a club that didn't put all it's eggs in the one basket in hope of winning one flag, they developed a system that allowed them to win multipul premierships by building upon that team with younger players come into the system.
If some people had their way, Joel Selwood, Tom Hawkins and a few other geelong players would be playing VFL as they didn't fit the best 22 theory in their first year.
