He lives!

Anybody/everybody calling for the Coach to be sacked now needs to declare if they're prepared to dip into their own pockets and contribute to the 'payout' such a sacking will inevitably bring. As I understand it, Richo has a clause in his contract which states if we win a final he can 'trigger' an ...

Players delivered BT a premiership in 09. And the goal umpire. He did nothing tactically in his time as coach. Just a freak playing group. StK were all over them in the first half, but missed opportunities. Should have been 4 goals up. How many games have you seen in your lifetime in VFL/AFL where ...

I think we had pick 12 and 13 in the 2012 draft We ended up with Tom Hickey, Tom Lee, Nathan Wright and Spencer ‘buddy’ White from trading those selections The slider in that draft was a gun junior SA ruckman, eventually nabbed at pick 18 The worst trade period I can remember. What the **** were th...

What’s the guarantee the next coach is the one? There was optimism about Scott Watters, there was optimism about AR, there was hysteria around blight, around Watson funnily enough, the only two I remember where there was reservations about were Grant Thomas and Ross Lyon when they took over There’s...

There won't be a change until there is ABSOLUTELY no chance we can make finals. If we act before that, Richo will have a case for a payout because we prevented him from potentially reaching his trigger. It would depend on the precise words of the contract of course, but I'm not sure that's 100% acc...

No , it was only one of the kray twins plus that thug Michael. If I recall rightly one of them through Lenny into the fence at the Gabba. Lenny was out for 4-5 weeks with a broken hand and the relevant thug didn't even get reported. Brisbane always got special treatment on that front, but then agai...

I thought Marsh was ok too, and has shown enough to keep his spot.

If not, Cho will play him injured, it what he does best.

From Moorabbin Ghost (one of the better and well connected posters on BF): Richo done and dusted. Has been told that if his contract extension clause isn’t met then we are going in another direction. The players desperately need a new voice. I expect Richo to coach the year out as we can’t sack him ...

There’s is no doubt that AR will be gone. No doubt. I know who they want but I’m pretty sure they won’t get him. So for what I hear it’s out of three- Scott, Knights, or Harves. If we end up with Matty Knights as coach I’m f##king done. Yeah it’s getting like that Knights ffs. He’s doing well at Ge...

Just reported by an ITK on BF that Ratten is off to Nth Melbourne. Typical St Kilda we finally get someone competent, who is capable of taking over and we let him walk to another job. FFS what round is this again? ITK my rear plug hole. someone on BF making up rumours a la Caro Wilson? Agree, what ...

If I were him I’d still want to play. Surely there’s a club (maybe even ours) who would take him in a Luke Hodge-type role.

What elite skills does Dan offer that he should be in the side ahead of Dave or Hunter or Nick or Ben or Ed? Right now he is struggling with his disposal efficiency in the VFL If you want a defacto coach we have Armo. If you want someone on the field for 60 or 70% of game time then Armo is ahead of...

This is the first supposed offer I’d be truly excited about if the player (through some miracle) actually accepted. Coniglio is not just a gun player but he has onfield leadership qualities that we desperately need. Throw the farm and the sink at him. How could it hurt? The only concern I have is w...

Gold Coast last year maybe? It's been a while.

We aren't great outside of Melbourne.

A few of my thoughts. I struggle with the numbers but noticed the following: Hannebery must come straight in. He didn’t have heaps of it but is just a class (or three) above. Good skills and hard at the pill. He’s the most vocal leader out there. At one point he schooled Paton where to stand, next m...

Tricky for Ratten, if true. He has a strong relationship with Richardson. I wonder if Richardson understands where his tenure sits. Would he graciously step aside for Ratten if the club indicates to him that they will not offer him the one year option in his contract? I don't know whether it's prid...

Just read this about playing injured players: http://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-02/i-was-just-freaking-out-second-saint-reveals-corkie-ordeal I find this unbelievable.

Too many injuries to take advantage of the run home unfortunately. Our list is pretty ordinary and we can’t afford to lose Steven, Carlisle, Roberton etc like we have. We’ll win five I think and finish about 13th. Richo won’t be resigned and Ratten will be made head coach. The problem is how we imp...

I think the hope is that we might also get a few more sponsors that we wouldn’t ordinarily get access to.

It might take a while to see these other benefits flow through but hopefully it will happen.
