Ever noticed how all the upbeat news revolves around "Ratts" and "lades"? I desperately want the club to succeed, and if the CHO can claim some vicarious glory, good for him. Somehow I doubt he's up to it and one of the few factors that might hold us back. Happy to be proved wrong.

You don't think that might have anything to do with the articles being about Ratts and Lade by any chance?

They are the new arrivals so why not focus on them and the positive impact they are having?

That's a piece of bad judgement then since it seems it was Richo who told the club to target Ratten in the first place.

You really believe that? What a pathetic piece of spin. What else would he say? I hate him and see him as my logical successor by round 6? The moment Satan announced Ratts as assistant, the cho would've changed into the brown corduroys. The cho isn't exactly renown for his great judgement. Apparently he didn't know what his captain thought of his coaching.
"THE GOOD MATE Brett Ratten

“We’ve had a strong relationship for a long time. I said to Lethers (head of football Simon Lethlean) we’ve got to get this bloke. It’s only early but he’s been bloody super. There’s enormous enthusiasm and energy around and those blokes have been strong in that space.’’

I'm.not going to get into a drawn out argument or defend Cho.

However, we actually don't know the context of the feedback or the question put to his peers.

For all we know it could have been asked to name one thing he should improve on.

Edit: simple question... If we improve this year will it be due to Cho or new assistants?

Exactly, we’re reading one thing in an article.

Do we honestly, really believe that the programme for leadership/ coaches that Richo went to was the first time Gears had given him feedback? Not once over the whole season? Don’t tell me you guys actually listen to what Lyon and Watson have to say from their high horses on SEN.

It was well documented about the time some of the players met with Richo after the Cats game in Geelong. And of course there would have been other times.

It was highlighted in the story, because that was the story, but seriously...

I listen to everything Watson says when it comes to critiquing coaching.

Not only does he speak with authority from his own stellar success as a senior coach, but he is totally unbiased as we saw with Hird.

Have a listen to Dal Santo on SEN he said basically that players wouldn't really get the chance to say anything along those lines because the talk would be more about direct football issues not the way he takes training or interacts with players etc. I thought the same as you until I heard it. It made sense that it's not covered off in regular interactions at the club.

Agree about the players, but I cannot believe the captain wouldn’t have a relationship with the coach and give feedback throughout the season.
( I will listen though, thanks)

Andrew Lovett literally raped someone whilst employed at our club. Worst appointment we ever made that I wish we never did.

But you're right. Watters was sooooooo much worse.

Worst appointment we ever made in hindsight, yes.

We didn't realise Watters was a s**t appointment after the fact. We knew it during.

Well document behavioural issues...please, are you only saying that to fit your argument or what? Do you say the same thing for guys like Nicky Winmar or Matty Parker or any other player we've ever signed that has had similar issues? Or is just convenient with Lovett? Lovett didn't rape someone and then we signed him mate. It was the other way around. Watters was a cancer in our club while he was there.

Anyway I've got no idea why this even matters, you didn't even address my other post to you and you want to instead harp on about this.

wtf does parker or winmar have to do with it? why because they're indigenous, what a load of racist bullshit.

lovett had issues going right back to his days at east perth. i can inbox you if you like but its not something i want in the public space. but people knew way back then he was a flog.

but hey here's an article from essendon stating "Maybe one day the penny may drop and St Kilda might make it work ... but I don't know."

if you are likening watters, who had an unblemished record prior to joining the saints, to someone with well documented behavioural issues, who ended up being charged with assault twice, then i don't know what to say.

You seriously think I brought them up because of their race...They are two players that instantly came to mind. Winmar being my favourite ever Saint and a recent day player in Parker who has recently talked about his struggles. Milne is another now that I think of it. Honestly you're an absolute clown if you think I am racist. To even come to that conclusion is a disgusting comment to make and I thought you were better than that. I'm speechless really.

I'm not likening them at all. YOU are the one who brought him up.

But back to your assumption. I'm disgusted that you would even think my post was about race. Pull your head in, seriously that's so disrespectful.

Don't even know what to say and I am done discussing anything further with you.

yeah sure buddy. on a topic about lovetts behavioural issues you bring up two players, one of which hasn't put a foot wrong at either his WAFL club nor his AFL club, with someone who has a long running history of being an utter bellend. i mean lovett was suspended numerous times. charged with multiple crimes and your first reaction is parker????

i don't get how parker is even remotely relevant to this conversation. winmar i know had issues as a teen, but not to the extent of lovett. i'm not aware of any issues at the saints either.

but if i'm thinking of saints that had behavioural issues they'd wouldn't even enter the top 10. when we've had the likes of G Train, Lawrence, Milne, Gram, Fisher etc. seriously!

You don't know the first thing about me so you can take your disgusting comments elsewhere. Seriously is pathetic from you.

Probably because Watters had a significantly worse impact on the club than Lovett did... I'm not even sure why you brought Lovett up to be honest.
