Collingwood has rebuilt and redefined Luke Ball. SHORTLY after arriving at Collingwood, Luke Ball set out on a two-kilometre time trial with his midfield teammates. They comfortably led him home. Senior players stole worried glances with one another as they caught their breath. ''My God, what have ...

Have heard similar, and not to GWS.

Then we will whine and moan and judge someone we know little about for the next three years.

Until the next coach walks out on us, at which point all will be forgiven?

I dunno, I think this thread is a little harsh. There's quite a bit of good banter here.

What if he wants out?

im stoopid huh


dunno

Not in the slightest- fwiw I agree with you. And I'm sure if for whatever reason he did want to go he'd be perfectly dignified about it.

Some people clearly have no idea.

Sorry, I thought it would make a change from the 47 new coach threads.

matrix wrote:yeah sorry OP
i did actually misread that

i wanna see him here
no where else
not even for picks one and two

Genuine question, even if a crystal ball were to tell you that we wouldn't make it to the 3rd week of the finals for the remainder of his career?

matrix wrote:ffs
put st kilda in there
it does ask where I would like bj to be next year

It actually asks where would you least like to see him (in the poll question). I'll edit the post accordingly.

So, a nasty hypothetical for Saints fans here. IF Goddard were to leave for pastures new, it'd be preferable (IMO) for it to be at the end of this season, when he at least has trade value. However, it does mean he has to play for someone else. Assuming we got equal value from all the clubs on offer,...

Yep, we're the Saints. Glory hunters need not apply.

Looks that way now, maybe not at the time.

Yep, I reckon support for Luke was unanimous on this site.

Lyon = CLINT

+1. Think we need a proven, well, experienced coach.

I'd like to see Banger with either Roos or Eade providing the mentoring role.

perhaps it's time to start a new one.

The race is on: 2 v 27.

...A good Coach is a coach that's blessed with luck (injury wise) and good players . Full Stop. Yep. Stan and Grant had the list but not the injury luck. Ross had the injury luck but not the list. Both are generally required. Stan also left Jamie Shanahan on Darren Jarman for far too long. It's not...

Premiership people coming to the Saints for no premiership. Coaches: Jezza/ Jewell/ Blight/ Alves/ Watson/ Sheldon/ Patterson/ Lyon (premiership assistant coach) Silvagni (premiership player/ assistant) Tudor (premiership assistant) and Dempster & Schneider as players.. so far. probably more......

to stay on TV. Now is the chance to get away from that Sydney style shite game plan.

Absolutely.

From a flag perspective, would they want to?

Poor Roo, How much can one man take? Would love to wrap him up in cotton wool and take away all of his pain! What a true great he is - re turning down the Gold Coast offer etc. LOYALTY is his middle name for sure.He bleeds for this club! Love him for ever and ever . I hope in the future he can look...

The facts speak for themselves.


Our best since Jeans.

Yep, far and away our second best coach ever. That says a lot about us as a club.

Do you think Eddie would've looked at recruiting RL if the situation was reversed? If Krak had been called a drug dealing scumbag? Not a chance in hell, even to win a flag.

Differrence is MM is a proven premiership coach, at two clubs. RL is not.

I think we need to face facts: Allan Jeans was the one.

Don't think so, he'll coach all the flair and talent out of Freo in the same way he did it to you. They'll be playing 10-goal footy next season, and barring the Sydney anomaly- that doesn't win flags.

It means that he'll be reborn- possibly in the future, possibly in the past, as an ant or something. Or a snake or hyena or some other loathsome creature? Not necessarily loathsome. I think small and weak, could be wrong though. Point was though, people always f*** up when they say "Karma will...
