Brilliant for us that Bolts is gone....

Now 100% of the media focus will be squarely on Cho, and hopefully by extension, Finnis and Lethlean.

Downside is they may beat us to punch on Ratts. We may get Scott

Wouldn’t that be a hoot - losing our asst coach after 11 games; left with our d*ck in our hands yet again. Would be kinda funny and sad all at once really.

[Scollop]

Would be ironic if they offer Ratts the job and he turns them down

Perhaps 2-3 more thrashings and Richo walks out the door permanently

Would love to read this headline: "Ratts officially takes over the Saints"

Exactly right Ted.... here we go..... the beginning of the end, and not a moment too soon.

What end?

We are not Carlton.

No true - we have 15 less premierships and a worse list.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

What has that got to do with anything about Bolton or Richardson?
Who cares.

Worst list...lol.

The beginning of the end of Richardson's employment, Edward! It's a magic day.

As for a 'worse' list, I said 'worsE', not worsT.... Please don't now try and debate me that Carlton have a worse list than ours. You will lose.

[skeptic]

Why on earth would Ratten go to Carlton?

I doubt any type of debate will go on. It never does.

If we do nothing, Ratten to North (unless Rhyce Shaw hangs on), Scott to Carlton.

But movement at North and Carlton might force the board's hand. Then we might see Ratten use a bit of bribery to insist on an offer of the top job with us where we'd rather he just mind the shop till the end of the season.

[Scollop]

Don't think focus will be on us this week. The media will be busy speculating about them for a couple of days at least

After such a poor showing in Shanghai and the disaster with player sickness, they would have copped a blowtorch

I think that Finnis, Lethlean and Richo should be sending 'Thank You' cards to the Carlton Football Club

Won't be this week - but going forward North and Carlton will be getting a free pass till the end of the year.

Richo now has nowhere/no one to hide behind.

[prwilkinson]

When is Richo expected to negotiate a new contract with the club?

St Kilda would have to implode spectacularly for the rest of the year for Richo to be given a tap on the shoulder.

Sandringham pretty much played in China yesterday and half of them spent their time in China in the toilet. We’re having a reasonable season, it’s been really hard to judge where the Saints are at in 2019.

I've asked you this before, have you actually ever been involved in any team sport or had anything to do with a sporting club?

Can anyone tell me what Ratten has achieved that makes him the Messiah?

Oh - whiskers, don't get me started there. I would say he's done absolutely NOTHING! I can't think of anything worse than having Ratten as our coach - just speculating what I think will probably happen!

Better than 50% winning record as a head coach, spent years under Clarko at the most successful club in recent history.

It’s a good start.

[Scollop]

When Ratten was sacked from Carlton and Malthouse took over the neutral observers compared their acheivements with the same or simialr lists. In hindsight many neutral observers as well as Carlton fans, acknowledged that Ratten didn't deserve the sack...just because Malthouse was out of a job and available to take over

Since then he's gained knowledge and ip from the best coach in AFL of the last 15 years. It's his experience in the system combined with the fact that he has already competently held the position of senior coach in the past.

If he wants the top job and if he is hungry, there is a job somewhere for him.

Actually played in sporting clubs for 25 years of my life. Coached, captained, vice captained for a combined 8 years of that time. What is your point?

And under whom did Bolton get his assistant coaching experience?
