What does good succession planning look like for the coaching departments of well run clubs, is it the Sydney, Collingwood and Melbourne models?. Do you have a mix of proven assistants and trainees, where the proven assistants are developed as successors to the head coach and the trainees as succes...

Throw the kitchen sink at Mitchell or Cara.

We would need to promise them a senior coach transition and/or pay well overs.

Coming to the Saints as a regular assistant is a career killer.

We need to get real.

Would love Izak Rankine

Lonie, Gilbo and Weller

Sorry but Richo is a bog average suburban hack.

Yes his personality is stable. Yes he is a good person.

I like the guy.

But AFL coach?

Laughable. He had a great run.

Id cut Lonie. 0 months.

I'd give him a 12 month contract. 2019.

FFS

I have been telling you morons this for 2 years now.

Not going to be a star.
But I'd be interested in Connor Menadue.

Huff'n'Puff to go? Richo will be extremely disappointed, hey con. Yeah Mav. He was really strong for us. Really competitive and strong at the conteast. A real leader. Hes got a hard body. Rock hard. His work in the pre-season and especially at the camps really stood out. It stood out a lot. I was v...

..or we keep #3 (who will in all likelihood become a very good player, anyway) and Acres and don't pay (or trade) overs for #6 Cerra. Next year's #3 (in a strong draft) + Acres is a better outcome than Cerra alone. We get - Cerra + #6 We give - #3 + Acres [/b][/i]--- maybe that's the most palatable...

Update: We are still in the box seat for McGovern. We are now looking at his brother from the Crows too. I wonder what box seat actually means? Well literally it refers to the coach driver on a horse drawn carriage, but in parkeysainter terms what does box seat mean? When it comes to McGovern he ha...

Except I am right.

If you have a fund manager who can't perform better than the index but still charges you fees.
Why pay the fees?
You get same returns from an index fund without the fees.

Same goes for recruiters.
If they can't beat the publicly available index.
Why pay them?

Let's see how this week pans out.

If we win you can run nose it

Maybe analyse the timing of those games. Everybody was beating GWS early this year. Could be just dumb luck on timing. Let's see how we go this week. GWS were in awesome form when we beat them last year. Lie! They won by just 3, 3 & 8 points in the games after losing to us in 2017. In rd 12 the...

Acres and #3 & our second round next year for Cerra & #6 and Freo's second round this year (say #25). They'd want more IMO but Acres would slot very nicely in Freo's midfield. Thoughts??? Ducks behind wall waiting to shot at :D Not a bad idea actually. Im not sure Acres is worth 6 & 25....

Just use our draft picks wisely. In McGovern's draft we took Tom Curren and Warrick Andreoli before J. McGovern was taken. Lethlean is so right to have tapped Elshaugh. Look at the opportunity cost just in that episode and the use of Pick 1 on Paddy. Makes me weep - the shocking incompetence. How m...

Im in the box seat to pick up a model at the pub tonight.
Box seat.

Outside of company for his brother, what could the suns possibly want from a player they delisted 5 years ago and hasn't improved since. 120+ game, 26 year old with 5 goals from 12 games this year. Same thing our team desperately needs. Harbodied experienced players to provide balance in a very you...

Where did you here that saintbob? Tom Brown on Talking Footy last night Huh well there you go. The brother connection is there so it's a viable guess by Tom Brown. I think Mav lost his mojo after his shocking ankle injury. Starting to get it back in the last few weeks. Lol. So 'shocking' he was pla...

So we are to go aggressive in the trade period this year. Now where have I heard that before.... Saints plan on aggressive trade strategy this year Marc McGowan Aug 27, 2017 8:50PM http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-27/saints-plan-on-aggressive-trade-strategy-this-year PS I would love Gaff...

Still can't see us winning though

What do we have to prove ?

Id like us to see us get 'aggressive' ON THE GROUND!

FFS.

What does 'aggressive' at the trade table even mean? Shouting loudly on the phone to player agents?
Bringing a Bull terrier along?

Seriously - our club is run by dumb asses.
