“Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
From The Age this morning :
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/4-p ... 520i4.html
“Not even two years have passed since St Kilda thrashed Richmond at Docklands in what has proved to be the falsest of football dawns.
Since that high point of Alan Richardson's coaching career the Saints have won 12 of 41 games and now prepare for the Tigers this Sunday at Marvel Stadium with the coach's job on the line.”"...........

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
Does not make for pleasant reading. There again, Saturday's "effort" looked awful too! I'll be there on Sunday, but if I'm brutally honest, it's more about catching up with my pal Tom for a pre-game frothy at the "Garden Gate" than out of a desire to watch the footy........... but I guess this is a time when we need to hang in there more than ever.

Maybe the batteries will run out.
Thats the only thing that will save his arse.
Surely he knows that he's not up to it. Coach of the year, pigs arse!

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
From Moorabbin Ghost (one of the better and well connected posters on BF):
Richo done and dusted.
Has been told that if his contract extension clause isn’t met then we are going in another direction.
The players desperately need a new voice.
I expect Richo to coach the year out as we can’t sack him until finals are not possible, but if a few more big losses eventuate then I can’t see any way that Bassatt and Lethlean don’t sack him as soon as possible without having to pay his $650,000 for 2020.
This club never lets you down...
Hopefully Ratten gets a chance to coach a few games before we undertake a thorough process of identifying and engaging the best possible candidate (or appointing Scott because he's mates with Lethers).

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
So sad....... such a familiar feature of our history to see "coaches under the pump". This club, much as I love them, will not win a flag in the next twenty five years................. There again IF I survive another 25 years, I'd be 99 years of age... I can only hope that Alzheimers hasn't taken the pleasure of the win away from me : "Saints? who are THEY?"

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
Richo needs to go but according to reports on here, it sounds like it's getting a bit toxic down at Linton St.
Finnis and the current board need to own this f*** up.

Somewhere on here. I can't keep track.
According to the genius Wayne Carey, Richo is being white-anted.

I wouldn't consider that a 'report' though, and I also wouldn't call what he described as 'toxic' either.

Didn't happen to catch the hysterical article he wrote for his mate about him being coach of the year did you?
And I'm not the bright one?

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
Love him or hate him I think few would now not believe that we need a new head coach.
Even many successful coaches at any club have not lasted as long as Richo has.
Personally I think our recruiting team needs a major shake up too. Trouble is that head recruiters who really know their stuff are rare.....and poaching their assistants not that fruitful. So not an easy problem to rectify.
Footskills and footy smarts need to be a priority along with true mids.

Re: “Clock ticking for Saints’ coach Richardson”
You're not paying attention are you, I don't care who we get because like the majority of supporters it's a subject that is outside my wheelhouse of knowledge so why pretend like I might know who would improve on the incumbent.skeptic wrote: ↑Wed 26 Jun 2019 11:38amGeeez your bouncing all over the place.HighettMan wrote: ↑Wed 26 Jun 2019 9:48amWho is your pick for the next coach?skeptic wrote: ↑Wed 26 Jun 2019 12:13amYou seem to be having difficulty with both reading and typingHighettMan wrote: ↑Tue 25 Jun 2019 11:26pmSadly?skeptic wrote: ↑Tue 25 Jun 2019 9:48pmSadly, it does appear as though there are a few that aren’t quite ready to call it.saintsRrising wrote: ↑Tue 25 Jun 2019 9:06pm Love him or hate him I think few would now not believe that we need a new head coach.

What I can do is make guesses based on press conferences and coaches media trained garble and cliches.
Based on some other info I'd say Bevo or Voss might be able to improve us.
The Bevo guess is obviously based on the proven performer in one good year and the rest pretty ordinary.
The Voss guessed based on he's the unproven performer but might have grown and learnt from his first failure.
Now your turn. Who's your pick for coach and why will he or she be an improvement on the incumbent?
