Heaps, regularly for a week for some reason

Bevo and the 2016 flag are like Haleys Comet. Plus Bevo coached a side in his own right, and quite successfully before joining the Dogs. Hird and Voss not so much and doubtful any club will rush to play with that experiment anytime soon. Bevo is an anomaly though with regards to my point, it's highl...

It's good to know the Club is not broke. I guess that reconciles with the constraint of having no choice of coach for the last two years because of the cost implications of change, how; different buckets of money? I bet there are several gun shy officials second guessing themselves like crazy about...

I agree with a lot of what you just wrote HM, recruitment both draft and trade is key, as is development for young players. I disagree that we need a coach with senior AFL coaching experience. Whilst a Clarkson would be great, one like him will not be available. We need to appreciate that the last ...

I love it how everyone thinks it’s only the coach, BM I know that this is one of your favourite lines, but no matter how often you repeat it you know it is not the case. You post a lot good stuff and so I do not know why you keep trotting it out. Everyone has thier favorite lines, what's your point...

The rubber stamp came down 3rd quarter of the Lions game. The players know it.

Please don’t even pretend you are now calling for his head.

If nothing else you are entertaining.

I have to agree. Pains me. The ultra competitive side to me senses we are now in a holding pattern.

We have always had amazing support in WA! This makes me so proud to see. I hope all Sainters going to Perth pay homage to a legend. I’m so proud that one of our own has been recognised so far away. Wonderful. Agree, they are great Saint supporters - fantastic that they made the effort to support Ni...

It’s a good topic because even know I disagree with the premise it opens up discussion about many failings of the club & that they need to be rectified to improve. Of course the position of the head coach is not overrated. The head coach oversees &/or contributes to all footy department dec...

Thanks for sharing. A great read.

Have the courage to call out rasism.

Coahes are important, so are quality lists in a healthy condition and available for selection. Gotta have both of these parts at the same time. This next trade period is arguable the most important in our clubs history, definitely the most important in the past 10 years. How the club selects the coa...

Three more years before he replaces Eade as the coach with most games without a flag! We'll never know, so I assume the head is important..and the head's image is also important and unimportant things contribute to the image...which impacts the important things, like culture, players wanting to com...

If coaches are so important to the outcome of games, how did we beat Hawthorn this season, when they have the best coach in the AFL and we have the worse and they had premiership players playing? And we were missing our best three players? Ever played chess? All you need at the end of the game is y...

The sum of all parts. Timing is a factor in the sum of all parts. We will have a new coach in 2020. He or she is lucky they didn't turn up in 2014. There will be more pressure on the next coach and the honeymoon period will be real real short as he or she will get the keys to list that is ready to ...

McCartin the Key Forward was not replaced. The initial plan of playing two talls (Membrey is not a key forward) and this was trained all summer, then McCartin was injured, with no tall to replace him.

Rote Learning?

Not sure I said coaching doesn’t matter, perhaps read the context. When you have and anchored mindset you miss these points made. I'm always saying it's the sum of all parts when I counter the claim Alan is to blame for everything wrong at the club or poor performances and losses. Absolutely the he...

What's a fictional character got to do with anything.

I thought Robbo was so crucial to the team that I thought he deserved to win a best and fairest for our club in 2017 His value was so misunderstood by the coach that Seb Ross had a massive 35 more votes than Dylan in the best and fairest, and Robbo only just beat Jarryn Geary by 3 votes in the Trev...
