Not the Same

Couldn't wait for Ross's aftermatch speech and wow what a beauty, we now now that they are not the same players anymore.
If they have had a change of identity who is responsible?

Do you need some tissues or some grass for that scapegoat?

What do you want him to say?

It seems the Cats have remained very competitive. Even in their slightly off year in 2010. Why?

We've got no excuses. It seems we're happy enough for "nearly" or "could have been". Sadly too many St Kilda greats have been subject to this very attitude, and they've faded off into history. I thought we had a group who was bigger than this? Breaks your heart.


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Ross does not help his cause sometimes with the way he puts things. Listening to him talk pre game today and other times over the past two weeks, I get the strong sense he has just about had enough. I would not be surprised if he actually walks at years end. Not surprised at all.

I have run out of grass and tissues and was hoping for something a little more substantial from the bloke running the show. What did I want him to say? Let's start with a real reason why we have gone from top to bottom...."they arern't the same" ? please.

They don't look the same to me.
BJ and Roo are top 5 in the comp, they are barely good enough to get a game at present.

if he walks, or gets the arse, we will find it difficult to attract played or get a top line coach, he would want to come


I love this club

I certainly wouldn't wait for a press conference to see what was going on.

Ross said he's in for the long haul, thank GOD!
He knows we're shot right now. He's gutted with the guys effort.

If RL jumped ship now... IMO it would reflect very poorly on him

That depends on whether he gets an offer from another club which makes him walk...

Why would a club make an offer to a coach that has failed to win a premiership and abandoned the team in downward spiral that he helped create?
After what some would describe as pushing his stars to breaking point

Some of the comments on this thread are like those posts saying player X is useless - let's trade him.

Posters claiming we should give Ross the axe cos he's not up to it; he's a one trick pony; the game's passed him by etc etc. But some other club might nonetheless make him an offer he can't refuse! :roll:

So, iwantmeseats gets pulled up, but a confection like this goes straight through to the keeper...
