How close is Richo to the exit?
I reckon a bad loss to Freo and a drubbing to Collingwood will see him gone.
A close loss to both will keep him on the books.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
Personally I don't think he is close at all.
I doubt anything would happen this season.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
Depends on how bad our losses are. Our current gameplan DOES NOT STAND UP even though he says our best is good enough. It ain't. 2018 blueprint as us finishing top 4 not bottom 4. A flag in 2020? Don't think so. If our crowd numbers keep dwindling who knows. Think he may still last until the end of the year.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
I'm not quite sure why a gameplan that worked so well against the eventual premiers 13 games ago is so out of date now. Folks seem to think a coach is also a miricle worker, but if the players can't hit targets and goals with any regularity no gameplan will work. No doubt the coaching staff have much work to do but the players have to own their form and turn it around.
Just sacking the coach, as have been proven many times over the years, is not an instant fix.
Look at Carlton & Malthouse as exhibit A on this.

Not close at all.
Extending a contract and then sacking the coach 7-8 games into the season... I just don’t see it happening

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
It doesn’t matter when Richo was re-contracted. If we start going down by 60 plus each week he’s gone.
I’m not opening up a market on it but I would have it as
Richo to coach St Kilda in 2019 $3
Richo to be sacked in 2018 $1.35

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
I still reckon he sees out the year. Even if we get hammered routinely... strong chance he doesn’t live to see 2019 so to speak but I just can’t see him gone before then.Goose is king wrote:It doesn’t matter when Richo was re-contracted. If we start going down by 60 plus each week he’s gone.

He could still turn it around if he showed a bit of daring and played some shots. I fear he won't

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
Not even close. AR is still the man (at this stage) and isn't the main problem. I just think Richo might need a little outside help to come in next year, but its hard to tell looking in from the outside.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
I think the board are fairly committed to Richo.
But they would be hearing the "noise" from the supporters.
And "noise" makes board members nervous.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
I don't think they'd have the bottle to sack him half way through the season. They'd be too worried about how stupid it would make them look only six months after extending his contract.Enrico_Misso wrote:I think the board are fairly committed to Richo.

Re: How close is Richo to the exit?
Richo only gets sacked if the board has enough balls to stand up and say that they made a huge mistake when they extended him with a year to run on his contract.
Richo is a great line coach and a great developer... if that's his only role, but is a terrible senior coach.
He doesn't have a great football tactical brain, he isn't a great communicator, Is very routine and measured... which the majority of the group find boring because he can't inspire or challenge.
And with our group being so young, he struggles to relate to most of them, Richo is now 56, doesn't drink and is extremely straight.
In terms of why the board needs to have balls, if they were to come out and sack him, we would need to pay out his contract and because of the soft cap we would end up paying a fortune in tax because of our financial position.
Richo knows that the heat is on and will only keep being safe with selections.
It's a downward spiral that only ends one way... Hopefully its sooner than later

Watch the games and look at the scores. Look at our %. Look at our losing margins.
