Let’s hope Ratten isn’t a yes-man, coming from a successful club and all. I just can’t see a guy of his experience, from a winning culture, playing second fiddle to Richo.

So all the skrobalak cliched tweets were actually referring to Frankston? They must be dysfunctional, even compared to us

So are we happy with Jake Batchelor and Skrobalak?
How many more positions do we need to fill? Still hanging out for Lenny, Harves and Caracella

I would but george will just wait till it's gone viral, then subvert it with his own centrist views
though there is a meeting at the docks tonight where we can speak openly..

You'd hope that Batchelor comes with some Richmond IP. Happy enough to give him a shot.
Impossible for fans to say really. Sounds like Batchelor did some good stuff this year at both the Saints and Frankston. Recent player. Sounds good. Skrobalak....again, who would know? Must have been happy with him. Pierce came on nicely. I'll back it in.So are we happy with Jake Batchelor and Skrobalak?

Also a younger guy to connect with our young players not a bad idea.

Having seen them a bit down at Frankston this year they both look like they know the game well and work together well.So are we happy with Jake Batchelor and Skrobalak?

Batchy is very vocal on and off the field and although the win/loss results dont look impressive the group did develop down at the dolphins over the course of the year.
I also like that both have been at St Kilda over the last year in a part time basis, seems we have seen what they can offer and got them on board full time now.
Im backing them in

We have 2 ex saints at Tigers
He's just had a promotion to a full time time apparently....
And Jake Bachelor has signed as a development coach....
Coaching personel, structures and Intel are where St.Kilda FC need to be right now. This will not be a quick fix. Put the foundations down. As Clarko said in his presser - systems, structures not genius on the day moves. Without this its pointless trying to attract top end talent that are proven and come at top price.
We have good youth and are attempting to get more - stay the course. That doesn't mean we don't need leaders that set standards but that's all been said. Getting players like Hannebery (whether we get him or not) isn't about getting players to challenge for finals its about player culture and the psychology of being an elite club and playing group.

I am pinning my hopes on the idea that the coach was good but Longer, Hickey and Holmes had extremely low ceilings as players that the best coach couldn't improve. Pierce was always going to take a while, so I'm happy enough with him.
Still, Bachelor and Scrabbledacks a little underwhelming. But what do I know, they could be great.
As someone said earlier, he has done a very good job with Pierce who he had full time so that is promising. I know he rates Pierce highly so that might be good for him as he might push for another contract.
We were probably always going to go for a couple of less experienced guys in the development area after we announced Ratten and Laide. We still have one more to announce by the sounds of it which says it might be from a side playing finals.

How many more positions are there available? Still hoping for Lenny or Mitchell although unlikely. Wonder what’s happening with Gubby Allen.
