St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
https://www.saints.com.au/news/2019-07- ... ttee-named
Nick Riewoldt decided to not be on the coaching panel, citing he didn't think at this point in time he had the right knowledge base to select a senior coach or words to that effect.
Someone, ANYONE, please tell me how Matt Finnis and Simon Lethlean have sufficient knowledge to select a senior AFL coach and what qualifications they have to be on the coaching selection committee
After Finnis renewed Richardson's contract when the club was already going backwards and Lethlean recruited Hannebery when anyone with a clue knew he was cooked, in what universe are these two in any way qualified to decide the next senior coach

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
The Saints have form with these charades, as when Butterrs went through all the processes and appointed GT anyway.
Hopefully that won't be the case here but I wouldn't bet on it.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
The club is a circus under clowns Finnis and Lethlean not surprised one bit they got a seat on the selection commitee.
It will be another boys club appointment in Brad Scott .
And then they expect us to be loyal to our club after treating memebers and supporters like fools.
Our membership numbers will fall if Scott is appointed.

You forget the Chair of the committee is our Pres. Very astute businessman from the recruitment industry. Doesn't give the impression he would let a boys club sway him.

Finnis has a lot to answer for and it will take something pretty special to regain my faith in him as an administrator.barks4eva wrote: ↑Fri 26 Jul 2019 2:24am https://www.saints.com.au/news/2019-07- ... ttee-named

Lethlean will be largely judged by the appointment of the new senior coach. So far, he’s not off to a good start, but time will tell.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
I thing a lot of weight is on Basset with this one. Ultimately this will be his call.
Finnis is there for the commercial aspect.
Lethlean the football part.
The director of coaching, well s***.... He's pretty much going to say everyone is good.
Dean Anderson. He's there for St.Kilda.
Best not stuff this up.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
Why set up this farce committee at all, haven't we already decided on our coach, or coaches as it looks like the role will be shared by multiples?
Anyway we haven't got long to wait...

The world we're talking about is the AFL world. It is one big conflict of interest!
Of course someone's title exonerates them! How naive!
99% of people in the AFL only have their title because they were mates with someone in the first place!

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
Pretty much every coach selection committee in history has comprised a combination of Prez/Football Director, CEO, Head of football department. Why would we be any different?

The people in those positions may not be the best in those fields though......
The hysteria in those postions being involved on the sub committee is crazy...
but the hysteria re the personnel may be justified in some cases

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
Let's hope that Bassat's experience in recruitment, coupled with high integrity and a genuine passion for the Saints, ensures that due process in undertaken professionally and ethically.
With his great football experience, I would have liked Rooey on the panel and his decision not to participate makes me uneasy about potential conflicts at play. We need Bassat at his best on this one.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
How did Simon Lethlean come to be appointed General Manager of the Football Department to begin with
He has never held this position at an AFL club previously
WHY
He had a cushy job at the AFL where he showed incredibly poor judgement when he cheating on his wife.
Strength though Loyalty
Then a few months later he is appointed General Manager of Football at St.kilda after having never held this position before.
Jobs for the boys!
The recruitment of Hannebery was a disaster from the get go.
Anyone with a clue knew Hannebery was cooked already after coming off two very ordinary injury interrupted seasons.
Lethlean not only gives a 29 yo injury riddled player a four year deal at $800,000 a year which clearly would have been enough to get the deal done as this enabled Sydney to free up their salary cap and get a cooked player off their books, he also trades away St.kilda's second round draft selection in this years draft.
Any shrewd negotiator would have secured this deal without sacrificing an early second round draft selection. Any competent decision maker would not have recruited Hannebery to begin with.
Or was it yet another case of jobs for the boys and looking after a mates son
Lethlean also was going to sacrifice pick 4 and Max King by offering Dylan Shiel 1.4 million a year for five, six or seven years or whatever nonsense it was.
Lethlean was only saved from this ridiculously idiotic decision by Shiel rejecting St.kilda for Essendon.
Another clear example of his flawed decision making and questionable judgement.
How does he maintain objectivity if his good mate Brad Scott applies for the coaching position
I am reasonably confident Brad Scott will not be appointed as the fall out from this would be extreme.
However, we are talking about the St.kilda Football Club here and it has been run by goofballs for almost it's entire history.
If I was on the Coaching Selection Committee the list of candidates would be as follows and in no particular order:-
Lenny Hayes
Robert Harvey
Brett Ratten
Sam Mitchell
Alistair Clarkson
Any one of those five based on availability and interest!
If BS is appointed then you know without a shadow of doubt the AFL trojan horse operators are pissing on you from a great height.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
With the benefit of hindsight I think BR was selected as the next coach not long after SL took over.
Process is for illusion only and KYA. Why waste money on an expensive and expansive selection committee for illusion purposes only.
However...if RL becomes available.

The appointment of David Rath to the committee doesn't do much to dispel the jobs for the boys/AFL rout vibe either. Strange times.
