Opinion Who will be our next head coach?

[mightymalaka]

No one is above accountability regardless of who they are, in any organisation.

Not even a coach like Clarko. Obviously different opinions carry different weight based on experience.

Unless you are an AFL umpire!

 

[jwikked]

Yeah I think he'd be great too, but guys like Mitchell and Lenny are not going to coach until they KNOW they'll be the best at it. I wrote my comment with that in mind. I'd love for someone like them to come in, but I'd imagine many of these untried assistant types would be wary of St.Kilda, it's players, and the power play behind the scenes. An experienced guy like Ratts (in particular) wouldn't be as tentative, as the job would be to place a rudder on the ship. It would be a three year gig, no more...unless finals was reached in year 2 or 3.

If they’re going to wait until they know they can do it, they’ll never do it.

Get what you're saying but I reckon guys like that would know when to dive in. The moment doesn't necessarily have to be right ( as you suggest, there is no such thing) but there just has to be an opportunity to execute.

 

[Drake Huggins]

Fraser Gehrig wants a word with you.

So does Logan Austin, apparently. I suppose I'll also hear from Doulton Langlands or Golden Jazz hands, etc.

 

[mightymalaka]

I’d want Mitchell . Won’t come because hawthorn is his I assume but would be great . I can’t see him taking s**t from anyone and players not going to another level

Tend to agree that he will stay at Hawthorn where he is the heir apparent, without anyone batting an eyelid!

But any talk of bringing Harves or Lenny back for us is somehow seen as strategically flawed because
Apparently it's footballing suicide to call on club champions to come back and steer the ship!

Hunter Clark, Blake Acres, Lewis Pierce and Bailey Rice have started walking up for a kick of whatever G train has left for them.

What about people with First names as surnames, Jack Steven, Seb Ross, Josh Bruce and Lewis Pierce (again)? Do you trust them?

So who holds Roo to account?

ROO has the hearts and minds of about 44,000 supporters. The board will be very much respectful of his view.
He as much as anyone has driven the team standards for 16 years.
My only advice to Roo would be to continue to be true to you values and dont get sucked into rubber stamping anything for the greater good. You carry the Hope's of us all!

Glad you brought that up Austinnnn. Can't trust a single one of them.

Does Aliir Aliir have 2 First names or 2 Surnames?

What has Scott actually done to warrant giving him the job?

Was involved in an exceptionally ugly three way with Satan!

The AFL's version of selling your soul at the crossroads!

Without doubt. Absolute giant of the club and the game.

Regardless, to rely on one person or one person's advice is fraught with danger because no-one is infallible and everyone is prone to mistakes.

That's been.our problem in the past with our Messiah complex.

From Fox through to Blight IMO.

Scott ponders future as Richardson stares down barrel

Brad Scott is considering whether or not to return to AFL coaching in 2020, while St Kilda coach Alan Richardson faces renewed pressure.

At least it's not sounding as definitive as it was. Players want Ratts apparently.

 

[VDS66]

OK, serious question...

What if Roo came out and said in his opinion, Richo deserves another year due to injuries

 

[Parkers tatts]

If they’re going to wait until they know they can do it, they’ll never do it.

If you stay at home until you know all the lights are green you will never go anywhere

 

[gringo2011]

Then he's be a loser and we'd all hate him.

I’d say put down the pipe roo

I believe they want a completely fresh face.

I believe they want a completely fresh face.

Who said it?

 

[plugger66]

Who said it?

An employee.

 

[gringo2011]

An employee.

Said the players are keen on a fresh face or the club?

So the point is that I dont think he should or would annoint anyone I would expect him to have input into the integrity of the process or perhaps some of the criteria.

 

[plugger66]

Said the players are keen on a fresh face or the club?

Yes. He didn’t do a poll. Just what he has heard when talking to players. You can bet some rats and even some may want richo. Just his vibe

 

[Saint Shags]

Well it would certainly piss a number of people off here that believe he doesn't like Richo.
He has certainly been big on the injuries as a reason not an excuse. Thought his comment last night was quite strong when he was asked if Richo would survive next week.

 

[VDS66]

That's why Scott is holidaying in Thailand with his family.

Plastic surgery is dirt cheap over there...
