Movement down at Seaford

Saints say 5pm press conference to unveil new coach Alan Richardson.

sorry, link didn't work

I understand why he kicked up a fuss. That it's still going on so many hours later is the part that concerns me.

Looking like a announcement at Seaford this afternoon

We've had regular meetings with Geelong FC officials discussing their successful structures and appointed ex captain Tom Harley on the coach selection panel. This is no coincidence. We were after a coach that fits our footballing model and it's seems AR is the man and Choco was not. I get the feeli...

Caroline Wilson's article directly quotes their CEO conceding they have lost him.
They will let him go, AFL will step in if need be. Kochie is grandstanding.

Welcome Richo!!! Good luck!!

Eating his Bertocci ham from SEN

I was really pleased last time when Watters was chosen. Shows you what I know. ;) I would have liked Neeld also at the time but he was signed up to the dees job a day or two after Ross left. Both were a disaster as senior coaches yet at the time were clearly held as the two next best assistants in l...

Will be happy if this is the case. Don't have anything against Choco, just prefer Richardson. Based on what, I don't know, just a preference. This ...except for me, it's based on Williams being more of a gimmick IMO Interesting opinion. Why? I would have thought that a guy who has coached a team to...

The Saints have formally interviewed three candidates: former Port Adelaide premiership coach Mark Williams, and St Kilda assistants Adam Kingsley and Simon McPhee, who coached the club's VFL team this year. The other two coaching prospects - both assistant coaches at AFL clubs - will make their pre...

Worse than Melbourne according to Dermie

Told us nothing!! Waste of time even doing the press conference.

What the hell is going on !!
Was he warned not to do that interview??
And who the hell is going to coach us. Draft in a few weeks and
Preseason training about to start. Looking forward to hearing the clubs explanation...it would want to be good

Fair enough Just hated playing home game against Richmond there last year with the feral alternative cheersquad right behind. One of the worst experiences ever at a game. Also don't see the point of playing Melbourne there like last year. Can see the point for a blockbuster match like vs cats or pie...

10 home games at Etihad is good. Happy with no home MCG games.
Seems to be less 440 games and more day games overall. Quite a few 320 but that extra 80 minutes makes all the difference with little kids.

Yeah it's been a while. Got a bit sick of the combative nature around here and needed a bit of a break from it. Trade period this year brought me back ;) Love the pic... Might have to post that on my FB wall. Looking forward to the new season. Overall the trade period was positive for us despite som...

You have never played the game so what would you know.

Love it

During the year I thought Joey might have been given it for say the next two years while we waited for the next lot to be ready. Obviously what happened at the end if the year will have hurt that aspiration. I never really saw mcevoy as captain. I think Steven was being groomed, particularly given h...

Don't think they would have let him go for pick 25 only which is partly why it went down to the wire I think. He essentially went for 25 and Delaney. We weren't doing to use 77 and neither will they probably. Makes it a bit more palatable anyway. In a way, I think it was like a marriage tht everyone...

heheheh so did anone get a Hi5 autograph? Stevie Nicholson‏@NicholsonStevie Had a great day at the @stkildafc members day. Highlight being mistaken for @gramsy_1 and signing jumpers anyway. #gosaints2012 Didn't bother with an autograph, but meeting him was the highlight of the day for my four year ...

I like the OX on SEN normally but he would have to be the worst commentator I have EVER heard. Worse even than Derwayne Russell. I agree. He's good in the special comments role....no good at calling the play....the bits I've heard have been terrible. Re Lenny - fingers crossed it's just concussion ...

I acknowledged that in my post. If that's the case though, why would we still be looking for one two weeks out from the start of the season. I would think at least post Christmas would have been a good idea, to have the coaching team working as a group etc. As Scott Watters said in one of his interv...

You have to question why it's such a late appointment, though at least being opposition analyst your focus is obviously the oposition though I'm sure detailed knowledge of our own list is also critical. I guess he would have an outsiders perspective of our list from his previous opposition analyst r...

I heard a snap shot of Ross at the Dockers presser either this week or last week making reference to the saints losing the last NAB challenge by 80 pts to port in 09 then winning 19 in a row (I think he said 20, but wasn't it 19). People seem to chop and change as to whether it means much to suit th...
