Hey this is completey unrelated but were you part of the orange brigade all those years ago?Aussie Jonestown wrote: ↑Sat 23 Mar 2019 5:14pmThe worst performed coach in the history of the AFL still coaching because his contract was extended when it clearly should not have been.
He is now going into his sixth season as "coach" with the worst record in AFL history at around 33% win/loss ratio.
Alan Richardson is desperately trying to hold onto his gig as an AFL coach and decisions are being made for the short term at the expense of the longer term.
I firmly believe Richardson is the kryptonite that sucks the life and energy out of the playing group.
It must be so uninspiring listening to his monotone drone year in year out.
Knowing he is in the crosshairs would understandably compromise his decision making.
I also believe this uncertainty and fear around losing his job would energetically be effecting the playing group.
The players confidence and decision making, goal kicking and skill execution would be affected by having a coach in this precarious predicament permeating the whole environment of the football club.
I do not believe Alan Richardson is suited to being a senior coach.
IMHO, it's not in his DNA to be a leader of men.
His communication skills seem to be limited to trite cliche's and he seems to me to be a follower of trends and incapable of innovation.
After five years as senior coach with a 33% win loss ratio, it's an inditement on the competence of those charged with making decisions that he is still there going into a sixth season.
People have bemoaned and complained about there being a lack of leadership within the playing group.
After five seasons and six preseasons who is to blame for this?

ST KILDA concedes it didn't know the full extent of prized recruit Dan Hannebery's struggles with his body when it traded for him.

Would you be kind enough to elaborate?
Which players make the majority that highly respect Richo?
Which make up the minority who do not respect him highly?
Of the majority, what aspects of his coaching and him as a person do they highly respect?
Is it uniform qualities or is it different things per player?
I request of you you the same referred to Ted.
Can you please provide some information or data to support this statement?
I personally would like some proof that God really fixed Sams mums cateracts.

Re: What are the qualities of our coaching that people rate and respect?
Look obviously there are plenty with vested interests that want AR to coach forever. But their interests are not Saint Kilda supporters interests. Winning games, developing players, being competitive, having a footy style that shows the application of intelligence above that of the average punter might be more specifically helpful than popularity with those working in the shelter of the club. I know so many lovely guys but wouldn't want them to coach and they know their limitations. Did SEN ask AR if he still thinks he is a good coach, and if so why. He is our version of Teresa May, but I concede we do have an Irish backstop in place.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

Thanks again guys for the inside view from the players perspective.
You might have missed my previous questions so I thought I’d put it forward again.
I’d love to know what in particular the majority of players respect about Richo and who makes up that group.
Of the minority who don’t highly respect him what are their issues and how is the coach working through these?

Re: What are the qualities of our coaching that people rate and respect?
No idea about player opinions but one other quality I'd mention is the one he's currently getting bagged for - honesty. If I was playing for him I'd be very pleased to be able to believe what he was telling me and not have to second-guess it all.
Nothing worse than a boss who, instead of saying what he really thinks, keeps coming at it different ways to see what happens to press the right buttons.

Negative. Tony has never sent me a PM and show some respect for a genuine insider that shows little bias. Thank you.

May and Lynch left bottom ranked clubs in 2018. In 2017 it was Gibbs, Ablett and Saad. Money is always only a part of the story.GilsAuPair wrote: ↑Sat 23 Mar 2019 5:04amName one good player who ran from Carlton in 2015?????Shaggy wrote: ↑Fri 22 Mar 2019 11:03pm We really bombed last year and yet our key players stayed.
When Carlton bombed under Malthouse players ran despite Malthouse being a multiple flag coach.
There is a real relationship and trust between coach and players at the Saints which is so important to success.
I really do not care about short term failure. It creates change and hunger.
Relationship between Richo and the players is key and my understanding is we have it in spades.
Just one.
Gibbs left after 2016 which was Bolton's first year.
This makes no sense. Players stay at bottom 5 clubs because they get paid well. If they went to a top 5 club they would be paid less.
This is simply a fact.
Steven, Billings, Gresham and Acres were heavily chased in the off season. They have all stayed.
Very good players left Carlton under Malthouse, Lions under Voss and Melbourne under Neeld. Those clubs imploded.
Currently it is only a minority of our supporter base who have imploded.
