The Elephant in the room.......
If we fail to play finals this year, does Ratts get an extension or not??
St Kilda should never trade with Essendon and Sydney ever again!!!

Re: The Elephant in the room.......
I was sure the elephant was going to be Hannebery and the question was whether or not he gets a contract for next season.

I think he will actually. The last surgery he had on his calf has done the trick.D.B.Cooper wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022 10:12pm I was sure the elephant was going to be Hannebery and the question was whether or not he gets a contract for next season.

It’s a bit ambiguous and would be interesting to know the status.
Surely this farce cannot continue for another season?

Re: The Elephant in the room.......
I thought it would be appropriate to bump this one as well. Now that we are looking like missing finals Ratts should not get an extension until at least the season finishes and a proper decision can be made.SunnyErnie wrote: ↑Tue 03 May 2022 9:55pm If we fail to play finals this year, does Ratts get an extension or not??

The answer should be no
But the club have shot their bolt on a handful of up/down 1 quarter performances

Re: The Elephant in the room.......
Only if we have secured the services of someone like Clarkson.
If not, then a 1 year extension, but maybe get some new assistant coaches.

Re: The Elephant in the room.......
Like this from BF
What’s Ratten said in his presser?
*******
honestly what do people expect him to say. the guy, like alan richardson, has been absolutely gifted an extension way too early.
he's got it in the bag. why would he try * that up now? he could miss out on finals this year and it means absolutely nothing now.
he's going to be about making 2023 an absolute winner and try go into 2024 having a crack.
our issue as a club is we've let a 2018 target blow out to 2024 now.

Re: The Elephant in the room.......
2 Elephant in room contenders.
Inability to score. Or the seemingly infinite ways of stuffing up chances; and
Inability to stop fwd entries coming straight back.
Perhaps there is a relationship between them.
Perhaps also we need a mahout on the esteemed coaching panel.
