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!!!

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.

Only once in the AFL era has St Kilda sacked a coach and improved the following year - 2020.

It’s a bit ambiguous and would be interesting to know the status.

Surely this farce cannot continue for another season?

Let's be honest, our obsession with all parts of the SS site is looney and dare I say it, creepy.

But you and I are normal.

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.

Not if GT comes in and overthrows the entire board. And from what I hear the forces are gathering. Stay tuned!!!

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.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

No.

Ratten has to go. He is a clone of Richo...

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.

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.
