Coach cans his side
Says saints are not a good side.
And for once he is spot on.

"We are not a good team at the minute, absolutely, I totally agree," Richardson replied when questioned on his side's early-season form on Fox Footy's AFL 360.
"There's no doubt it's a challenging time for our footy club. It's a challenging time for our playing group and certainly for our coaching staff.
"And probably the most challenging time I've had in my time at the club, given that we've generally made pretty steady progress (each year), I reckon. There's no doubt about that."

Re: Coach cans his side
Time to get funky I think. If the ball is stuck in our backline play McCartin at true FF with Membrey on our 50M line. Anything that’s gets through is a goal and if Melbourne man these players up it weakens their forward press. If what we are currently witnessing is us trying to be like the others then let’s try to be unique and create the next successful style. Try something please

Re: Coach cans his side
Agree Goose.
Blight said something similar. Play a deep forward (paddy). Let’s see some different tactics.
I personally would like to see us go much more attackng.
I think Blight is a pompous knob most of the time, but I think he got this one right.

I agree with this to be honest. It requires quick, direct ball movement though, as slow movement allows opposition to get back in numbers and swamp Paddy. Quick direct ball movement sadly results in us turning the ball over atm however.

Re: Coach cans his side
Rubbish. The side is ok, we have a coach who has no clue, what a pathetic coward to place the blame on the players alone, saying it's a challenging time for coaches - as if they are working hard to fix these messed up players...how did they get messed up? Why are 3rd, 4th and 5th year players acting like vfl rookies?
Stand up and admit you failed or maybe he can't? Some people are too arrogant to accept the blame for failing .

""I'm responsible and we're responsible, I wouldn't say to make the place a positive place, but so that there's absolute understanding of what we're not doing to make sure we're more consistent, and that there's some real energy."
The Saints looked to have turned the corner when they snapped a run of three heavy defeats with a gutsy draw against flag fancies Greater Western Sydney in round five."

Re: Coach cans his side
Yes but they have an extra back at all times which double teams Paddy and Richo will always allow this as he likes Jake or Robbo free at the other end.Goose is king wrote:Time to get funky I think.

We also seem to fancy Billings, Membrey and Greg getting off the leash when we run out of the back line and have these guys sprint into open forward space. Having Paddy deep removes this scoring option, and let's be honest running into the open goal is the only way we kick them (ahem Membrey).

Re: Coach cans his side
Absolutely I totally agree, Blight is a pompous knob. However I don't agree with G.Lyon that Carlton has far more talent. We have the sufficient talent to finish close to the eight with a reasonable draw and a common hymn book. Team selection is, as wiser heads here have noted, totally naïve if not negligent. Players have been allowed to become unaccountable for unacceptable skill displays and selective concentration. When Richo said there had been steady progress under his leadership Scott and Whateley had to use all their professionalism not to laugh. Richo is now out of his depth. I hope the players rally, to say Kingsley, or because hey are fed up with being ridiculed. J. Geary - roast someone. Everybody, kick to your first thought team mate. Now all, please stand and sing psalm #1 "Oh when the Saints come marching in......"

Gary Lyon is a wife stealing, grass cutting, adulterous knob. Who gives a flying f*** what that tosser thinks.

Re: Coach cans his side
How do you figure? He was separated at the time and so was Billy from his wife. Dubious scruples but who are we to criticise? We hired Simon Lethlean who WAS married at the time. Anyway all this is irrelevant. I reckon Lyon knows his footy and when I hear him talk footy I couldn't give stuff who he is currently shagging.saynta wrote:Gary Lyon is a wife stealing, grass cutting, adulterous knob.
