We are a real chance next week at home against the Eagles, a winnable game against last year's Premiers. Win that and it is still game on.tedtheodorelogan2018 wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 7:55pm Saints need to hold their nerve. We are still 4-3 and can win next week. Geez some supporters can completely lose it...even after 1 loss against a GF contender interstate.
So, sack him now, appoint Ratten. Who would be your second and third choices if Ratten doesn't want the job? Should the assistant coaches be sacked too? Just wondering if you have thought this far?The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 8:04pm It’s not after one loss to a good team, it’s after 2 years of stagnating and seeing the same horrible issues over and over again.
I would have sacked him after last season. Sack him as soon as possible (no use hanging on to a dead man walking) and give Ratten the rest of the year as a job interview. If not him then get the best available at the end of the year.

If Ratten doesn’t want it (which I doubt) then give it to one of the other assistants, doesn’t really matter, this year is (another) development year.twirlyhair wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 8:52pmSo, sack him now, appoint Ratten.

I think the rest of the current coaching panel is fine, give them a chance, the last 5 years is not there fault.
And as others have said, Richo’s replacement may or may not be good, but that’s better odds than Richo who we know for a fact is no good.
That first term was amateur hour.Joffa Burns wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 8:48pm It wasn’t the loss today, the concern was how easily we were blown away in the first 1/4, how the walked out of stoppages with the ball and scored so readily.
Eerily similar signs to 2018.
They’re not ‘anyone’, they’re all experienced assistant AFL coaches. And again, couldn’t be any worse that Richo, and could be better!twirlyhair wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 9:34pmWell done Dud!

I'd be happy to take the reins but unfortunately I'm not available.
Well unless you name someone (apart from Ratten), then it seems you are not so concerned, as long as it is not Richo hey? So to help you out. Here are the assistant coaches for you. Who should get it? Surely we don't want to be in another pickle in a couple of years time hey?The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 04 May 2019 9:36pmThey’re not ‘anyone’, they’re all experienced assistant AFL coaches.
