Coach Sack Clarksons!

[zoomba23]

Did we hire the wrong coach?

When the right coach was sitting there all this time after his departure from Freo.

Do you need any more straw for that man you've built

I suppose building a winning culture can take years

Hardest part of building a winning culture is actually winning.

What does Ross the Boss have that Clarkson doesn’t?

Blokes that provide consistent work rate and effort. This allows his structures to stand up.

That right there is the single biggest difference between the two coaches.

Mate of mine went to the Carlton v St Kilda game. Reckons he's never seen a team run as hard or for longer. They turn it over a bit, but get back at speed.

We don't/can't/won't.

Just ask a Melbourne supporter. How many cracks at building the team? Now look at them.

Saints are off 10th.

And they got 11 wins last year. I dont want to do the depressing math ti figure out how long its taken for us to get 11 wins.

Other than a "if you're not first you're last attitusde", or just not rating the saints list for some reason, we are not the same, we are far worse.

Saints lost 3-4 by under a kick last year as well

We spent a decade developing a culture of Open for Inspection stroll throughs

Lloyd said he’s never seen anyone run as hard in the preseason as saints did this year

Go figure it’s that easy

Rossy didn't want a bar of us either way so it's all academic

Might peak early and fade as the year goes on.
Like us. But better for longer.

 

[Horizons_00]

Just want to know our standards

Are they high, midrange, realistic, unrealistic, too low?

Watch our games live, we’ve got so many coach killer players who simply won’t/can’t..

 

[Spud11]

Saints are off the bottom and even bombers are too. Collingwood came from bottom all the way to leaving nothing on the field

Last 2 weeks shows our standards are easily going to go back to “oh well I cbf competing today” with zero consequences. Who’s being dropped or punished for poor performances and efforts?

I thought we had an unforgiving and ruthless coach in Clarko. Liked seeing Goldy dropped for Xerri and even Cunners being subbed for his performance. But when we going to see it holistically

All of this.

 

[hilly]

I agree. So if we apparently have the better coach, why hasn't he been able to extract better work rate and effort from our players?

Because he has different players.

Clarko has better players than Noble had - he has new players in Cheezal and Logue/Tucker and now has Comben and Cunners playing every week. He has also brought his own 2 guys in Sheils and Howe to improve standards and work rate. We have had the smallest injury toll in decades in the first 6 weeks.

That's a 30% change in players, better coaching credentials and a better run with injuries - why can't we get the players to run harder both ways?

I think they are struggling with the game plan and where to run. They didn't seem to have a problem earlier in the year, especially when we were able to attack from the bounce then set up behind the ball.

And as always the Opposition get time to unpick our MO

 

[Roostein]

There seems to be too much blame placed on the players and (while there’s less) the coaches when the majority of it should be on the recruiting staff and management. While some have gone, I’m not sure how Rawlings still has a job. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Wonder whether they've tried to add a layer to it since Round 2 and might have gone a step too far to where there's a bit of confusion?

Guess we'll learn more in the next month.

Could be personnel as well. LDU has looked crocked since his calf, Simpkin has been in and out. The backline has had some athleticism removed without Goater, Bergman and even Bonar.

 

[Luke72]

Lots of travel too. They look like they need a break and regroup.

We seem to change how we try to move the ball out of the back half a fair bit, but the zone itself hasn't really changed much (but hard to tell on the TV), it's just that round 3 onwards our midfield has had at least 1 of it's top 2 players either missing or compromised.

Then we've brough Mckay in again, and the defence picked up where it left off when he was there in preseson: shitter than ever.

 

[TruRoos7]

You wonder what Ross has, he has a better ******* side than we do.

******* McKay, Corr, Howe had less disposals than Cheez and he copped a hard tag, what the * is that s**t right there.

The ball was in our backline 7 out of 10 times and these 3 still couldn’t get the ball…!

Gus Logie makes McKay/Corr/Howe look like the 3 ******* stooges without the ability to make anyone laugh…!

 

[Nate7]

Your move, Clarko!

 

[Horizons_00]

not his fault. He’s got a club with the worst culture in the afl. Mentally cooked

Hope he can figure it out

 

[amaz199]

He's back. History suggests a coaching change gets the group going. If they don't win this week whilst Melbourne kicks 10.20 to our 13.8, we get our pitchforks and torches.
