2 and 4
I have some contact with a slight ITK - he has told me that if we are 2 and 4 then - All Bets are Off regarding Richo.
Suns (M)
Bombers (M)
Freo (OS)
Hawks (M)
Demons (MCG)
Crows (M)
My estimate is that we win round 1 and pick up at least 2 of the next 5.
For what it is worth.....

I’m thinking all bets will be off then...

Hard to see winning 5...
Bank the Suns. Hope to beat Freo over there. The rest were markedly better than us this year

Re: 2 and 4
I’m optimistic we will be far more competitive next season.
At this point it is too hard to predict a win/loss tally for the first six rounds.
It was less than two years ago we belted Hawthorn by 75 points in Launceston admittedly with Roo still running around. Late last season we lost to them by 4 points in a game we threw away. We also beat Melbourne who are on that list.
I’m not saying we will be better than 2 wins and 4 losses. My belief is we will be a lot better than people think next season

Sounds like the club might be biding its time and waiting for a convenient moment to commit the deed.

Re: 2 and 4
My understanding is there is a get out clause which is triggered after round six!
I can only see 2 wins in the first ten rounds. Suns in round one and Blues in round ten.
Bye bye Richo!

I know I’m not a true supporter but I’m kind of hoping we win the first six games.

Re: 2 and 4
It still blows my mind that there are people here who think us winning the first N games would be a massive disaster because it would vindicate Richo.kosifantutti wrote: ↑Wed 26 Dec 2018 3:40pm I know I’m not a true supporter but I’m kind of hoping we win the first six games.

I’d gladly take on years of ridicule here (not really different to how ppl already perceive me tbh) for the Saints winning the flag in 2019.
Criticism of Richo shouldn’t be taken personally.
I may not rate him but I do want him to succeed as I do with every player

I think some folk are confusing what people want to happen versus what’s going to happen.

Re: 2 and 4
WHAT gives me hope is that we have a CIW now
called Mr Ratts.
Don’t need to have an interim coach. Seemless transition mid season

Re: 2 and 4
So if Ratten takes over all of a sudden our goal kicking and ball transition woes will instantly be resolved. You really do crack me up SaintsPremiers.saintspremiers wrote: ↑Wed 26 Dec 2018 8:49pm WHAT gives me hope is that we have a CIW now

Re: 2 and 4
Pretty sure everyone wants us to start winning regularly, unfortunately I just don't think this will start happening until we get a decent coach… I don't think being 3 - 3 will help us long term if it means a protracted severing of a guy that is only still coaching because of an administrative bungle.
Our first 3 games are against sides that were a fair way off the pace last year, so if we can't be competitive in all three then things will get considerably worse the next 5-6 weeks against Hawthorn, Melbourne, Adelaide, GWS, Eagles and then Collingwood.

It’s like ppl are responding to arguments that were never made.
It’s like me responding to you and saying... so you really think signing Richo up to a guaranteed 7 year contract will fix the problems instead?
What are you people talking about.

Re: 2 and 4
I was thinking specifically of this thread. I'm not sure if it's serious or I just missed the sarcasm.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=96556
Though I'm sure there are others here who feel the same.
We win five to ten. Good god.... They might actually consider giving him another year. We lose.
We win Ten to thirteen games and make the finals, going out first week. Extension imminent. We lose.
We win Thirteen to sixteen games. Win a final. Ratten influence. Extension granted. Christ maybe even two years.
...
Honestly, give him the arse now. Do it.

It does kind of feel like Richo is on a hiding to nothing.
If Richo is sacked by rd6 the haters are validated
If we do a 2004 and come out and win the first 10, does Richo get the credibility or do the majority think that Ratten is the difference?
Considering Richo played Acres in the ruck briefly in a game where we had two rucks in the team (IIRC) and I think Steele went in once too in another game... well I’d pbly lean towards the latter.
He’d really have to do well to reconvert the faithless
