Whilst, I don't think we can win more than 5-6 games next year (MAX!) I do still feel more positive now that Richardson is the one steering the ship.
The coaching selection process might have been a complete shambles but I think they ended up with the right man.

Assistant coaches can't switch to a rival club assistant coaching position if they're still contracted.

Re: A. Richardson Press conference 5pm
Richo seems very composed, and seems like he has been ready for this moment and this role for quite a while. He seems ready to get stuck in.

Re: Kade Kolodjashnijs for pick 3 ?
We're spoilt for choice. Just going on what I've read and the little I've seen - Kelly sounds good too - good left foot kick and huge endurance - although I note that one of his weaknesses/areas he needs to improve in is inside work (and I'm sure he will). I'm sure Billings can eventually play midf...

Re: Kade Kolodjashnijs for pick 3 ?
Billings is elite on both feet and appears to be the clever, medium sized, goal-kicking half forward we need - who also has the potential to play midfield. I would say a small/medium sized half-forward is probably the lowest of our priorities right now. Currently we have: Milera, Schneider and Minc...

Re: Simon McPhee
McPhee seems really impressive. The Saints should look to upgrade him to an official assistant coach in the coming months/season (should that get signed off by whomever is appointed as the next senior coach).

Re: can we finish as high as 12th next season??
I'll be watching the next year out of seeing how the younger guys go and how much they improve, rather than barracking the scoreboard.
Looking for the improvement levels of: Lee, Hickey, Wright, Markworth, Murdoch, Newnes, Curren etc.

Re: Alan Richardson
I just really hope we don't appoint Rob Harvey. Not a senior coach in my opinion.
I'm coming around to the idea of Choco. He has the experience. But he is a larger than life personality after all and didn't we just sack a guy largely because of his ego?

Re: Caro's back, day 3 ... the chill is thawing

So I'm not sure how excited I can get about this...

How do people feel about this guy? I think we are still possibly chasing him. It comes down to what we would have to give up. He's not a game-changer for us in the midfield, but having him on top of getting Savage gives us two guys that can take a bit of heat off of Steven and Joey. He is 24 and ha...
