Sack.

But the question is, who’s available to replace him?
Who's the most qualified? Adam Kingsley, who apparently possess tactical and IT nous as impressive as anyone in the game. And also lost on the Adelaide job to Pyke. His strengths are strategies, tactics, diligence. And one of the highest rated level four graduate.

I'm not usually a sack the coach man but seriously richo is just not up to the job.

You hear about coach killers well he is a player killer.

This side is really not that bad, the game plan is rubbish the guys in the commentary box can barely contain themselves.

Fall on your sword richo.

We have no cash. Gill, a saints supporter has more or less publicly said we can't go to the afl well.

He's with us for the rest of his contract.
Might be in the interests of the AFL if he's sacked sooner rather than later. Supporter morale very low, dwindling crowds and viewership. If this continues could have a flow on effect to memberships, sponsorship and marketability of the club.

That’s what they all say but I think he’s overrated. There’s a reason he’s been overlooked for coaching roles in the past.
There’s clearly a reason Richo was overlooked for coaching gigs in the past, including choosing Watters over him!

Regardless of what the problem/s are, after 5 years there can be no denying that this is his team and the performance of it, for better or worse, falls primarily on his shoulders. If we start to see some clear cohesion by the end of the year, (4 wins or not) he gets the final benefit of the doubt but is on notice.
If we continue in the same manner as now, then he should offer his resignation on shear principal. Or we sack him.
He is ultimately responsible for team performance. End of story.

Sell the players arses on the streets for the next 10 years and get enough money to give Clarko a godfather offer.
That wont happen.
Something more realistic:

Head Coach: Blake Caracella
Sr Assistant : Sam Mitchell
Head of Football: Brett Ratten

It's simply a perfect shit storm.

Back to back 9th place finishes, the only way was up, or so we thought. Dangling the FA carrot, THAT $$ warchest for 2 years straight, only to reel in Logan Austin. A game plan that fails to deliver goals or highlights, and does nothing but frustrate. Gun juniors looking worse than the day they walked into the club, whilst experienced players go backwards.

How do you make $$$ amongst all that?

Fascinating to see what is done to pull us out of this tailspin, I don't even think morale and hope was this low when Watters was sacked.

Why won’t we spend
The campaigner???

You never know unless you look. Nobody knew about Clarko, Beveridge, Pyke etc before they got their jobs.
Yeah there is always going to be some highly rated assistant coaches around...some the public may not be familiar with.

Or Ratten. He became our coach too soon without doing enough of an apprenticeship, but still took us to 5th with a crap list.
Has now done a proper apprenticeship under Clarkson, who has produced many good assistants who turn into head coaches.
