Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
This is looking like the Sydney appointment of Roos. From memory he took over as caretaker coach but apparently Terry Wallace was going to go from Footscray to Sydney as the new coach. Everyone kicked up a big stink and Roos was then appointed senior coach. The rest is history - here it is!
In this case it looks like BraSco has been given the nod but Ratten may be popular with the players and supporters.

I truly believe that people like you could then come on here and denigrate someone's character at the club behind the safety of an anonymous social media account, you could even run a long and relentless smearing agenda fueled with lies and false claims against someone who does not have the right of reply or ability to defend themselves, HOWEVER!, people like me should be allowed to counter these attacks openly in the forum.
But therein lies another conundrum, one man's form of acceptable restraint and fairninded objective feedback is another man's open slather.
The other issue, and you can probably relate to this, is posters who argue they should be allowed to come on here and have a fair crack, (well as pointed out above, thier version of "fair"), at individual's at the club are usually the ones that scream louder than stuck pigs when a poster has a "fair" crack back at them. Your clasic, "can give it but can't take it" so to spreak.
You'll notice these posters, they are the ones who'll cry, "you never give an opinion, you just attack others who do", or "blind faith", or "blue sky brigade", or my favorite, "I pay good money for my membership so I am entitled to hold someone accountable".
So I agree, Simon's system for moderation appears at times to be skewd and inconsistent and is clearly filtered through his narrow views which is not saying his views are narrow, just narrow by nature of being only one moderater and not a committee of mods to widen the broaders views of society.
It's why I think if Simon relaxed "his" rules or the policing of "his" rules to allow posters to more "vigorously" debate each other as a form of Open Community Moderation (OCM), then we could access said broaders views and it may even be an improved system of moderation, so sought of think of OCM as self moderation and subordinate to Simon's overarching moderation.
It may even invite more participation on the board through this type of engagement.

But mate I digress, I just don't like seeing the defenceless being targeted. For whatever reason it doesn't sit well with me, whereas I'm ok with posters going each other (within certain boundaries).
It's why you are confused about my postion on AR. You think I'm a fan boy which couldn't be further from the truth. If you paid attention along the way you would know I've offered several critial views and opinions about AR, but objective and fair minded views and opinions. But these get lost in the froth.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
I wish I knew more goldfish! I also wish I knew more big words to at least pretend I was smart.
Totally agree HM, there is nothing nobler than defending those that can't defend themselves. Kudos to that gesture. I think we all get a bit lost in our perception of the vehicle that is Saintsational.
Whilst some may believe all that is written here ends up on the big screen at Times Square or that journos are trolling here for their next Walkley or Pulitzer award, sadly for them the reality is they aren't.
This is a vehicle to vent and express, nothing more, nothing less. I don't believe AR or any player would give a fat rats clacker about what's written on here. I know for every view there's a polar opposite, so wait 10 minutes and balance is restored. You simply restore balance, that's great.
You & I have disagreed on many things, I actually like that. We have also agreed on the most fundamental thing that continually holds St Kilda back, getting the 3 fundamentals correct at the same time: Coaching, Recruitment & Development. Only a strong Administration can do that. We are very much like the boy with the wheelbarrow.
Whilst you nobly defend AR for reasons that he apparently can't defend himself, I think he could but seriously he wouldn't care about faceless posters, I still don't know if you believe he should or should not have been sacked.
Bottom line HM, I've said this before, my rule of thumb for posting is I won't post anything I wouldn't say to a strangers face in a pub.

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
Good rule.
For the record, and as previously stated on many occasions, I thought it was the right thing to keep Alan for this season while SL got his feet under the desk and prepare a robust succession plan. It didn't mean I wasn't critical of some of the coaching at times. The place would have reverted to a circus and type had SL been in the place 5 mins and started a slash N burn. So yeah I thought and stated Alan had to get us to finals this year or he was gone, had to go whateve. I'm now starting to think BR was always the succession plan.
Ps. I don't use big words because Im smart, I just have a wide vocabulary.

I don't have a single word here in your post that I disagree with.barks4eva wrote: ↑Fri 26 Jul 2019 2:25pm 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.
Matt Finnis and Lethlean both need to leave the club. And that list manager who re-signed Dmac for 3. Also, the guys saying, "oh, we can fix Hanneberry". They couldn't fix a much younger Freeman - is that not enough of a clue?

Re: St.kilda's Coaching Selection Committee
The issue at play here IMO is that the majority of the criticism directed at Richo over the last 18 months has been about his performance as coach and his decision making.
The criticism of that criticism has focused more on supporter loyalty, a perception of things being personal and this bizarre concept that posting an opinion on this opinion forum is underhanded and reflects cowardice.
Very little of effort actually goes into challenging or even discussing the topics at play here... I suspect that the reason for this is ultimately that a lot of the quote unquote criticism is reflected in both performance, results and decision making now.
Have never understood the underlying current of trying to turn this into something that it’s not.
Me personally, I’ve never abused Richo or criticised his character. I have been highly critical over his decision making / performance as I’ve seen it over 18mths.
I talk about that on this forum. Would I say any of this stuff directly to Richo? It’s hard to see a scenario where that would be appropriate to do so... I’m hardly going to approach him on the street or yell stuff over the fence at Moorabbin. Weird behaviour.
There is no need for things to get personal. Don’t know why people feel the need to try and make it so.
The criticism of that criticism has focused more on supporter loyalty, a perception of things being personal and this bizarre concept that posting an opinion on this opinion forum is underhanded and reflects cowardice.

We finally have our very own Marvel super hero right here at Saintsational
I wonder what sort of costume the great Highettman wears?
