Did I hear correct - god help us
While driving to the gym this morning i heard a take from the B & F last night
One part was Richo talking and i swear i heard him say " we cant control our ladder position".
is he or his speech writer for real, more spin than a politician.
Absolutely you can control your ladder position ...BY WINNING GAMES!!!!!!!
I have never heard such crap in my life , we finished 16th, not 9th on percentage - then yes sure you could say that others performed better, the draw etc, but we finished 16TH.
They treat us like mushrooms , take our money, playing on our emotions of loyalty and hope, and try to polish a turd and tell us its a diamond.
At least Ross Lyon was upfront and disappointed after finishing 2nd ( not 16th) at the B&F and got criticised for it.
Need to walk away i think as this has got me really mad - no wonder we are going backwards in a hurry
Rant over!

I will try to find it, but going to need to hear something special for this to be in context which is real and honest not spin

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
It almost sent me to sleep. He is one of the dullest speakers in the business. Is it any wonder the players are giving uninspired performances under him?
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

If you need to be inspired by your boss - then maybe you are in the wrong job.

Yeah context kinda helps.
He pretty much put it on the players.

Wow a good tradesman doesn't blame his tools.
Very disappointing if the case , as Billy Birmingham said " Lets work as a team and do it my way" ( Richie benaurd voice!)

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
lol @ Cairnsman - just taking the PI55!!!!
Just got abused by someone on another forum for not having the money to spend on our danger noodles with the implication that we should not keep them - just because I asked if anyone knew a place to get cheaper hides etc.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
Judge for yourself. I pretty much think his message was that we have all the tools.... Time to build the house.
He is a genuine guy.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
no concept of time. i've waffled n for five or six minutes' - 11 mins in.
so hard to listen to - just a monotonous drone. could sell him as a white noise sleep aid?
did hear the improvement will come from the players. well what about from him? surely he's set himself that same goal? lead by example, accept the blame and admit you need to do better.

It’s nice to hear that a lot of players have still been around Moorabbin training.

Clearly the the OP has not demonstrated actively listening and as such has heard incorrectly. Active listening, Google it to learn how.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
I listened - probably a good remedy if your having trouble sleeping at night I would think -,he lost me a couple of times and I wasn’t sure who he was referring to —- not sure what to make of it really - it looks as though he stays for 2019, he certainly seems to think so - I think it’s going to be difficult for players and fans to muster up the kind of enthusiasm that will be required to see significant improvement - maybe a team of new assistants can generate something positive for the players to engage with ?desertsaint wrote: ↑Thu 20 Sep 2018 9:45pm no concept of time. i've waffled n for five or six minutes' - 11 mins in.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
Just win a few. Wayne Bennet is to boring what Turnbull is to plain English but he can get teams to win. Nowhere to hide in 2019 Richo. Put up or the club will shut u up. Possibly before Easter if we are not running at 50% by then.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
I wonder where Richo's is sojourning this off season and whether he gets a one way ticket
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
Am I on my own now where I am getting tired of the Richo hate?
Like it or not, we are stuck with him.

Re: Did I hear correct - god help us
I think I heard 8 "Outstanding"'s and only 6 "Strong"'s in Richo's inspirational speech.
So it's a strong win to outstanding.
