Regime change,

Bring it on.

Webster and Phillips.
Would boof both.

I am perplexed, why all the love for Brett Ratten? What's it based on, his coaching at Carlton? :shock: Or because he's one of Clarkson's Assistants? We hired Watters because he was one of Malthouse's Assistants, that worked out well. Clarkson's Assistants will be familiar with Clarkson's systems a...

I hear Jock McHale has some spare time and would provide good leadership

I apologise for my tone Toy. Unnecessarily aggressive! I guess I was meaning to say it is hard to judge a single quarter. Obviously our players can play well when under no pressure. They are AFL players. I am sure we look a million bucks at training. I was just suggesting it is possible that a young...

Good post.
Dont forget Liam Ryan, Billy Gowers, Bailey Fritsch, David Mirra and a few others.

Billy Gowers already has 12 goals this season in a bottom side!

I was at the game in Tassy.... Clarko was only about twent meters from me... The players listened intently he talked face to face a lot of the time. they nodded or spoke back to him There was a lot more interaction . From the look of it on TV the players didn't give AR much feedback... I must have ...

I’m really contemplating my options re: signing up again. After eighteen years continuous membership. Surely someone has hacked jiggster’s account! NOPE! Seriously thinking about just blindly shelling out cash and being schitt on from a great height as a reward Seriously jiggster. Next year save yo...

Long and Phillips havent had enough time to be destroyed as players by this coaching regime.

Luckily Phillips has his older brother to learn from because he there are no role models at the Saints.

Yep.

Clarko did it against us in the 3rd quarter two weeks ago.

Dumb-ass just copied that without really knowing why.

Third quarter last night alone shows that he hasn't lost the players. Bunch of folk on here clutching for reasons. They are just s***. That seems to me more like clutching at straws. Time for someone at the club to grow a pair of “ Henry Halls” and start the ball rolling for a complete and comprehe...

I am gobsmacked how gullible some people are when it comes to Richo. I guess it is because he is on TV on 360 or he does a lot of media? Not sure what it is but the reality is he is a a much worse performed coach than Scott Watters yet some people seem to be completely blind to reality. A strange ph...

Battle looks very ginger?

Getting toweled up.

It's a cracking read isn't it, and I hope too that our predicament can be remedied by a top-3 draft pick, a couple of expensive free agents, and perhaps a midfield gun from GWS. It alludes also to the gaping chasm that has been left by Nick Riewoldt. God what I'd give to have him back right now. Ho...

Good post from to the top and I agree with almost all of it. Our core group is awful. Having to rely on the likes of Weller, Newnes, Geary, Armo, Brown, Savage and Koby Stevens is a recipe for disaster. But the club is responsible for its own list management and we have had plenty of time to address...

We have won 17/60 quarters. So generally speaking we win one quarter in every game. One quarter per week. Then some genius on here always posts that 'if we could play like that every quarter we would be top 4!'. Dear oh dear. Maybe Freo just had one bad quarter? Fair enough given they fielded a side...

Cheers for that.
That is the best quality feed I have seen of a VFL game.

Is Battle 36? If so he is out there.

I have no problem with Geary, Bruce and Savage they earned it at the time. Armo extension agreed was a big mistake, Mc kenzie dowsnt look like making it, McCartin well you have to give him time thats all you can do with a player like that...recruiters stuffed that one up.. Richo another two years.....

Richo contracted until the end of 2020. Armo until the end of 2019. Geary 2019. McKenzie 2019 Savage 2019 McCartin 2020 Bruce 2020 Think about it. Bains and Finnis are disgusting incompetents. Bains left last year and is with Footscray I know but he left us a legacy of all these dodgy contracts bef...

The bad kicking for goal is his get out of jail excuse. He can hide behind that as the press etc don't push for the real issues with coaching and the way we play. Cop out of the highest order. It's worked for Ross Lyon in the past, but I guess Ross sold himself and sold the message better than our ...

Garry Ayres as senior coach? Too long out of the game I think. True, colleague. BUT perhaps a “planned succession” with Ayres as mentor/leader to someone like Lenny Hayes could be a way to go..... I’m thinking along the lines of Lenny being “junior partner” in a co-coaching partnership? I realise o...

We need a Neil Balme type of football manager, Grant Thomas would be an excellent candidate. That would be a good starting point. We need coaches, assistants and recruiters, I reckon Grant Thomas has the judgment to help us find the right people. I like the idea of this. We need a real man manager ...
