Although I somewhat agree with you...watch Scott become our next coach! I don't know if that's a good thing or not? but I can't watch Richo go through the next 10 weeks with this hanging over himSainternist wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 12:13pm According to David King, Brad Scott will become our new coach after the conclusion of this season. Can someone please tell me how this utter flog managed to get a career as an AFL journalist? I am fed up with the vast majority of these former player pundits. Very few of them can articulate a good argument and seem to only perpetuate worthless opinions. It has actually got to the stage where I pay very little attention to any of this current crop of AFL media circus, with the likes of Hutchy and his Crock Media now being a major voice. It’s an embarrassing reflection on the lack of media professional media currently in circulation around our great game![]()

How many of Richo's team meetings have you "actually" attended Dudley? Just curious how you came to that conclusion.

Yes..... spot-on there Colleague! "Great logic" indeed!!! The "logic of the asylum" perhaps? But wait on.......this IS the St Kilda Footy Club we're talking about, mate. I have yet to see a sentence containing the words "logic" and "St Kilda Footy Club" making any sense whatsoever.Enrico_Misso wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 3:06pm Mmmmmmm
Replace a coach who has struggled for 6 years with one who hasn't delivered anything for 10 years.
Great logic!
I love that last paragraph Jiggster - I feel the same way. As far as I am concerned Richo is our coach until he's not our coach, then I move onto the next poor soul and continue my undying loyalty to the saints no matter what evolves. After 60 years I am not baling out now.thejiggingsaint wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 4:03pmYes..... spot-on there Colleague! "Great logic" indeed!!! The "logic of the asylum" perhaps?

I believe "we are, who we are" i/e a much-loved, much-scorned, crazy, lovable, frustrating, flawed footy club and if anyone with any sense hasn't realised that by now, and seriously expects to win a premiership in the next decade, then I say (with respect) that they are kidding themselves!!! It's WHO WE ARE!!! My suggestion to anyone who expects anything else, is to follow another club... or follow another sporting code.
This club, (god help them) are geared for failure, its in our DNA.![]()
The concept of replacing a "6-year failure" with a "TEN year failure" perfectly encapsulates the logic applied to St Kilda Footy Club. Actually, you don't have to go too far back for another example of "logic" We have a coach (Stan Alves) who takes a bunch of kids and senior players and snares the 1st bit of silverware (Ansett Cup) the club has seen in DECADES. A year later the same coach takes us to our first GF appearance in 26 years (only to be cruelled by injuries) What do we do? sack him!!! His replacement (an untried, untested rookie) then takes us from Finals to the wooden spoon! (Inside TWO seasons!) I rest my case!!![]()

Now, after all that ranting you may say that I'm being "disloyal".... I would disagree. I ACCEPT the club for what it is..... a consistent struggler, disadvantaged by forces often outside of it's control, but way too often a victim of its own incompetency, and a failure to learn from its own history. I accept the club! I embrace the club! Not because of the possibility of long term success..... (Christ! I'd have dropped them YEARS ago if I were driven solely by results)
I LOVE this club, without condition and totally IN SPITE of what it does to me!!!! I LOVE meeting other Sainters at the footy. I LOVE wearing my colours to the game!
In short............................... Go Saints! (to hell with the rest!)![]()

*See my previous post re: "failure to learn from past history" etc etc etc Christ! they're all getting in on the act, even Roo is sticking the boot into Richo. "Boys Club" indeed!! But what can we do? I love the club despite all it's failings and faults.
Lovely post Sanctorum! Full marks, Colleague!!! After last season, (the one from HELL!) I wavered a wee bit before renewing my membership...... but what can you do when you're in a love affair?

I have long ago taken the view that it serves no purpose to hold high expectations when St Kilda play, in fact I am now so conditioned for failure that I only get nervous watching a game when the Saints are favoured to win. Supporting the Saints is not for the faint-hearted because to expect success is a risk to one's health!![]()

Cool. So you have no idea what a Richo team meeting is like or if it's boring. Thanks for confirming.The_Dud wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 3:16pmI’ve “actually” attended numerous Ted.tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 3:03pmHow many of Richo's team meetings have you "actually" attended Dudley?

I would give you more specific details but unfortunately I was napping most of the time.

Also a paid-up Saints-hater!!! Why else would he want Brad Scott at the Saints?
Id rather be mediocre than totally sheisen. At least now and again mediocrity does offer some hope.thejiggingsaint wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 4:03pmYes..... spot-on there Colleague!

Fair argument. Sadly, problem is Clarko, Horse & Chris Scott - the three I’d have above Brad Scott - are all highly unlikely to join us.thejiggingsaint wrote: ↑Mon 24 Jun 2019 4:42pm![]()

I'm not averse to us getting a "not-Mr-Nice-Guy"............... BUT..... I'd want someone with a wee bit more prospect of improvement than Scott's ten years of mediocrity at Norf. PLUS.. Do we REALLY want yet another graduate from the Malthouse academy of assistant coaches? Hasn't TWO (Watters and Richardson) been enough?
I presume you mean is a good friend of Lethleans?
