Roast Our misfortune playing sacked coach/milestone games!!!!!!

[bresker]

I guess you mean the Saints getting up against a "lesser" side

Welcome to the board, peon. Not sure if we asked for a witless St Kilda perspective.

And I'd just stopped hating your supporters, mainly because you're irrelevant again.

 

[bresker]

Richardson was one of Peter Rohde's assistants, I can see where he learned his winning ways. He was one of Brett Ratten's assistants at Carlton too.

 

[dogwatch]

From our own backyard we have a 100% record of winning after changing coach during the season since 2000:

2011: Rodney Eade departs after R21 and Paul Williams takes over, we defeat Port Adelaide by 60 points in R22.
2001: Terry Wallace departs after R21 and Peter Rohde takes over, we defeat Collingwood by 41 points in R22.

So if a win over Adelaide is needed in Rd 23 to make the finals ... should we sack Bevo?

 

[gangsta deluxe]

I wonder what the cause is? I would say at least in part as it becomes very hard for one team to prepare the week proceeding (new strategy implemented and mixed with excitement...)

The immediate hostility is both unnecessary and highly amusing to be fair.

Yet Brett has since learned under Clarko. I don't think this will be the same Brett as his Carlton days. I have a small suspicion he undermined Richardson to get back to senior coaching.

I know this can often happen but it's so infuriating. If you are capable of lifting and performing that extra 1%, then why not do it every game? They are professional and highly paid athletes.

I don't think anybody in any job or sport could honestly look back, and I mean honestly, and say I couldn't have given any more. That time you didn't chase as hard or far or what have you, nobody goes at 100% all the time

I hear that Alan Richardson doesn't have much on this week.
Could we sub-contract him as our 'goal kicking' coach and maybe pick his brains on one or two other things?

 

[wayniac]

Sorry guys. Wasn't on purpose.

Reckon it will be third time lucky for you on the weekend though.

(I mean you guys will win in case it sounded the other way)

Maybe your number 1 fan, the Big ShitShow can show you how to win, yanno, like the World Cup.

Tbh - I would not be surprised if he ends up at our club in some capacity next year as either a senior assistant or football operations role.

Which I would be pleased with as I think that's a role he's actually very good according to everyone who played under him with us, Collingwood and Port.

 

[Mojorisin]

Maybe Beveridge will be extra motivated to perform against st.kilda this week in the same way dahlhaus was last season against cats

 

[flipper83]

While we're complaining, we should have had one of the easiest fixtures after finishing in the bottom 3rd last year but we pay the top 3 teams twice as well as West coast, GWS and Port away.

 

[Chicago1]

You may not be aware, but Alan Richardson was an assistant coach to Peter Rohde the year we last won the spoon (2003).

I don't think Alan should waste too much time thinking about re-applying to join our coaching group.

That name should never be mentioned on here. Never. That also goes for Royce Hart.

What about Allan Rolls Royce 'worst premiership coach ever' Joyce?

No way. He got us into the Finals. The other two couldn't even spell Finals. If not for that bastard, Billy Brownless... That's 25 years ago and I can still feel the disappointment.

[Bazza Bulldog]

To be fair:

1. Bolton was sacked prior to the Brisbane game
2. Scott mutually left and they played us in his last game
3. Alan Richardson decided to step away prior to our game.

None are the same.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a thread that allows a healthy rant (whinge).

 

[stefoid]

Bring it. No use making finals and getting beaten because we cant handle the lift in intensity.

We bring the intensity => They cant handle us. This is how it works

 

[jamesDP]

Can we have another look at Beveridge's contract, see if he can get out of it and go to StKilda next year.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

At this juncture I would like to offer the solution of sacrificing either Jason Johaniesen or Sam Lloyd to the football gods.

 

[go you pups]

While the timing may be seen as inconvenient, we simply have to rise above all that emotional s**t thrown at us by the opposition and just be the better side

Plain and simple

Yet we let ourselves down far too often, we need to be better

 

[Substance]

It ain't just emotional s**t, a new coach comes in and immediately changes things up. Things you can't really prepare for because it may be the first time, but they know all your structures. Players also play care free and with increased freedom to be really aggressive offensively.

 

[flamethrower]

This is where not having runners can really hurt - if a team brings a completely different structure and tweaked game plan under a new head coach, can't make major structural changes until quarter time and by then the horse has bolted (especially teams with a lack of experienced leadership).
