Or hardness to protect them. We have pussyfoot quasi-leadership.

We can always stick with “cuddles Brett” cause that’s working out well…

Oh FFS another crisis meeting???????Scollop wrote: ↑Sun 26 Jun 2022 2:57am We've got issues with player leadership, and with player trust and player connection. Most of our guys bomb the footy or kick it without conviction (like...who gives a crap if it doesn't hit you on the chest, at least I got a possession!) We have a few selfish players and there are behaviours that need flushing out. Another crisis meeting required
Geary might not have been the best player on the list but he was a good captain. Steele has yet to prove he can lead this side. His deputies aren't helping
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Stee ... t%20season.
"Ahead of the 2021 AFL season, Steele was named co-captain of St Kilda alongside incumbent skipper Jarryn Geary. The honour was all the more significant as Steele had not been part of the leadership group in 2020, although he began to sit in on meetings in the second half of that season."
The buck stops with the coach to instill a game plan that’s adhered to by the players
It’s not hard to understand
Yes we have some overrated crap on the list but there’s no f in system - that’s on the coach after 3 years ????
How long does it take to work out when someone ain’t up to it??????
Hilarious

Sharman and NWM….what a jokeVortex wrote: ↑Sun 26 Jun 2022 9:43am 6 to 8 players short of a top 4 side I felt before last night's game.
Crickey I hope it's not more than that.
Our depth drops away sharply at around 10th to 12th on the list.
The results from the first half of the season were misleading. Even some of our better wins against Richmond and Geelong now look misleading, both of those wins came from catching really good sides off guard and by playing only one good quarter.
We were forced to play kids but they had some impact in bursts at a time when some senior players were in career best form.
Windy and maybe Owens look like they can play contested ball.
Too many outside types who don't have the bodies or ticker for playing a style of footy required to be last man standing in the final stages of a grand final such as:
Howard
Billings
NWM
Sharman
Byrnes
Skills for many players seems to have disappeared.
And the club should look at getting eye tests for every player, especially NWM, I'm not sure he sees RW&B jumpers because it seems like nearly every kick of his is deliberately placed -- and beautifully I might add -- straight down the throat of opposition players.

We are not talking about one or two players out of form, and this falls back on the coach- when a worker in a business slacks off then they get let go, but when the whole workforce slacks off, then management have to be looked at, as it's a culture thing. This mess is firmly in the lap of the football dept.
All of a sudden ALL of our players are Shyte?????
Coach can’t pull them together and our forward 50 entries have been disgraceful for 3 years with no fix????
That’s coach

Re: Press Conf. - Sydney
I think David Noble tried the drill sergeant approach and then supposedly had to apologise to the playing group for shouting at them.
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Press Conf. - Sydney
He also ain’t got much to work with
I don’t think Matthews, Clarkson, Scott or Beveridge do “warm and cuddly” all the time….but know they can turn that on/off when needed
Brett has 1 gear “cuddly”
