Re: Dylan Shiel
Something dodgy about the Bombers Shiel deal. Anyone have any inside info? Weren't we and the Kangas offering way over what the Bombers were? An Essendon admin told me that Shiel had better pay offers from clubs but that Ess were able to offer better off-field opportunities. DS was introduced to An...

Re: 2 and 4
Hardwick wasn't rated by anyone. Would be out of work if his contract had ended in 2016. He had his football department reorganised against his wishes. And they win a flag.

Re: Is Richo making it harder to attract quality?
Knowing Richo as well as he is known now would any club that didn't have a senior coach in place right now consider him to lead their club?
I doubt he'd be interviewed.

Re: On Borrowed Time - Sorry, Another Richo Thread
So the rumours of Richo being sacked have certainly subsided in the last couple of weeks. Seems like most (even the naysayers) are almost begrudgingly willing to accept he'll remain at the helm next year. Has there been a coach to have such a poor record and still manage to keep his job in AFL/VFL ...

Re: Some Richo Insight into What to Expect Next Year
His view was that there may be nothing wrong with Richo (not necessarily my view), however he did point out that the skill errors were either on the Coach or the Assistant(s) and that whomever was responsible had to go. Richardson engineers the game so that we have Geary as our loose defender. He s...

Re: To the Board and CEO: Do YOUR Job and Sack Richo or RESIGN!!
But, I'd go further than that - the players also need to get the best out of themselves - just as Steele did. Take some ownership, themselves. Is Steele going to let the coach, any coach, the ceo or anyone hold him back - hell no. That's why you admire him as a player. Exactly. If the other players...

Re: Geary got used how he should
Geary playing loose is a disaster.
Geary locking down on a small forward is alright.
Geary tagging a midfielder is Clint Jones all over again.
The bloke can only be used as a lock down defender. Otherwise do not select.

Re: anyone who says it is not poor coaching needs to explain why
You wouldn't go out and hire a coach with a 35 per cent winning record over five years (no matter what the perceived extenuating circumstances were).
So why would you retain one?

Re: Billy has a Tagger
A mate of mine is a friend of Stan Alves. Alves told him an anecdote about his days at St Kilda which I don't think he's ever publicly shared, at least as far as I know. Don't know which year this occurred, could've been 1997, but I'm not sure. Stan asked the players to write down the team mate the...

Re: Is Alan Richardson Actually Up to Snuff?
Seen a lot of managers, execs as well as coaches in my time, who have a good rapport with those under them, but ultimately are not doing the job for the organisation or club etc. Sometimes it's a formula for under-achieving. Agreed. And it's not like there's a lot of players at Saints who've been p...

Re: Sammy fires back.
Gilbert described as laconic and soft. Unbelievable.
He's got his issues as a player but I can't say I've ever seen him squib or not playing at maximum effort.
And there's only a very few I would say that about. Blokes like Blake.

Re: Is Alan Richardson Actually Up to Snuff?
The thing that has struck me about Richo during this season is he seems to have kept cool in a crisis. He's looked focused, proactive and determined on game day with him coming down to the bench when things haven't been going well. If you are not panicking you don't realise the severity of the situ...

Re: Richo’s 100th game as coach
The coach isn't the problem. Sacking the coach would set us back 10 years. It would set us back the 45 minutes it would take him to clear his desk. Multiple players are worse players than when they joined the club. The game plan changes from month to month from creeping around the boundaries to gun...
