We are 4 points behind Freo. That equals 1 game.
To simplify it:
4 points = 1 game.
I think it's amazing we are only 1 game out of the 8 along with a host of other sides.
There is not another fixture remaining where I feel St Kilda are likely to defeat their upcoming opponent, and that includes the teams currently outside the 8: North, Footscray, Melbourne, Carlton and South Melbourne, all teams that are showing much better form lately......unless St Kilda make radical changes to the way they play and improved game plans set by the coaches.
It is the lack of vigour and attack, and the "keepings off - over ball use" style that makes watching St Kilda play so agonising; the team has the players with the requisite skills and abilities to win games, but it is as if they are conditioned to simply prevent the other team from scoring and so they are not using their natural flair.
This is the way that Ross Lyon gets his teams to play and guess what: St Kilda's Director of Coaching learnt his craft from Ross Lyon, going back to 2007 as a development coach, and he is there today directing the coaches of 2019. This to me is a major reason why the team is failing, and until that man goes St Kilda will remain adrift in the bottom half of the competition!

See this is where you go wrong, you are confused about what the meaning fact is, go back and re read your post and look for your use of the words, 'certainty' and 'almost', I know I'm being picky here but by strict definition you are not forming your opinion from facts.

I’ll point out that you introduced character here as this is your thread. What basis do you have to say that he’ll call it himself..? None! Is none the answer?
Tony, a recognised ITK, is saying with certainty that he won’t be coaching next year. The results almost guarantee that we won’t make finals and he hasn’t called it.
As usual, my opinion is formed off the facts... and you are completely emotional. And of course you play the personal card... don’t know the man, haven’t met him, no interactions, don’t know anyone that knows him.
Based on what I see, it’s pretty clear and has been for a long time that he won’t be a successful coach at our club. The fact that I didn’t delude myself into thinking he’s Alistair Clarkson and Allen Jeans incarnate like you, building a legacy for the ages with a scarily flexible team does not make a cold SOB. Just makes me a rationale one unlike you and your hyper-emotional outbursts.
Outside of that small point you also make some wild assumptions and guesses that also may be warping the formation of your opinions and thier credibility.

Re: Alan Will Call it Himself.

If anyone can explain to me in detail how those numbers are miraculously going to morph into finals bound performances then I am all ears. We have only scored more than 80 points in a game twice this year and that was in the first five rounds, and have not cracked the ton at all !! Someone tell me how we can make finals when we have been conceding 99.9 points per game for the past two and a half months and haven't actually cracked the ton ourselves at all ??

Re: Alan Will Call it Himself.
I have a bunch of relatives who are North supporters, a couple being very good footy players in their days at the highest level...they hated Scott as coach and were jumping with joy when he got the flick..stkfc1 wrote: ↑Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:34pm Listening to SEN today, as they've had a few Kanga players past and present on and I may be reading into it but I dont get a great sense that Brad Scott was the most popular guy at the club. They're saying all the cliche things about how good a coach he is and all that but none of them sounding hugely convincing, whilst their enthusiasm ,when describing Rhys Shaw, was noticeable. Maybe it was just time to move on for everyone at the club but I'm really not seeing what BS is going to bring to the table. This is concerning.

I will say this... I actually agree with you that from a fan's POV I'm not overly bothered as we won't have all the information to make an informed decision. So i look at the qualities candidates have that are well known

Re: Alan Will Call it Himself.
Suggesting we are "only" one game out of the 8 is, I think a false comparison. The trend is from #1 to #14. There are six sides between us and 7th spot. All playing better than us. Our percentage is awful and if we are to have an honest analyses that means that one notional game is actually two. But its an illusion even then, as unlikely as it is. Only Melbourne has coughed up more points against. Even Suns and Carlton have had less scored against them. I think we average about 2 goals a game more than the Suns (bottom). Good eh? But Suns have played Giants twice (us once for a flogging), the Bulldogs (us nunce), Adelaide twice (us once for a fair pantsing), Geelong , North and the Swans (the latter three we have not had the pleasure of).
I think its reasonable to suggest that the comparative draws - poor Suns - could mean at least a 27 goal equivalence from the, say, 6 games differential. The bottom line is the side is not going to go near finals with AR as coach and without its benign draw - which has been squandered- we would be looking closely at the wooden spoon. If our new stats analyst can't illustrate that to our glorious leader and he twigs that he is hopeless then he will call himself Al - and you can call him Al -but he won't call time.

I think its reasonable to suggest that the comparative draws - poor Suns - could mean at least a 27 goal equivalence from the, say, 6 games differential. The bottom line is the side is not going to go near finals with AR as coach and without its benign draw - which has been squandered- we would be looking closely at the wooden spoon. If our new stats analyst can't illustrate that to our glorious leader and he twigs that he is hopeless then he will call himself Al - and you can call him Al -but he won't call time.

Re: Alan Will Call it Himself.
My F.I.L is also mad Roos boy and was happier than a tornado in a trailer park when Scott left. Didnt rate him at all and this seems to be the general consensus of the few other Roo supporters I know. This also adds to my concern.spert wrote: ↑Tue 02 Jul 2019 5:44pmI have a bunch of relatives who are North supporters, a couple being very good footy players in their days at the highest level...they hated Scott as coach and were jumping with joy when he got the flick..stkfc1 wrote: ↑Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:34pm Listening to SEN today, as they've had a few Kanga players past and present on and I may be reading into it but I dont get a great sense that Brad Scott was the most popular guy at the club. They're saying all the cliche things about how good a coach he is and all that but none of them sounding hugely convincing, whilst their enthusiasm ,when describing Rhys Shaw, was noticeable. Maybe it was just time to move on for everyone at the club but I'm really not seeing what BS is going to bring to the table. This is concerning.

I’ll point out that you introduced character here as this is your thread. What basis do you have to say that he’ll call it himself..? None! Is none the answer?
Tony, a recognised ITK, is saying with certainty that he won’t be coaching next year. The results almost guarantee that we won’t make finals and he hasn’t called it.
As usual, my opinion is formed off the facts... and you are completely emotional. And of course you play the personal card... don’t know the man, haven’t met him, no interactions, don’t know anyone that knows him.
Based on what I see, it’s pretty clear and has been for a long time that he won’t be a successful coach at our club. The fact that I didn’t delude myself into thinking he’s Alistair Clarkson and Allen Jeans incarnate like you, building a legacy for the ages with a scarily flexible team does not make a cold SOB. Just makes me a rationale one unlike you and your hyper-emotional outbursts.
Outside of that small point you also make some wild assumptions and guesses that also may be warping the formation of your opinions and thier credibility.
Your post was also a little emotional.
Glad it’s almost certainly not emotionally driven hysteria
The serious discussion you yearn begins here if you choose to accept the challenge.

Re: Alan Will Call it Himself.
Who qualifies as a big gun?
Clarko
Bevo
Longmire
?
The only one of them I could see possibly leaving is Clarko, because I think Hawks would be happy to let him go if he doesn’t want to be part of their upcoming rebuild.
