Terrible news for his family and all of us... He went through the tough times at st.kilda, he was our reliable captain, a rock in the backline... He captained us back to finals after a long drought and bought much joy to many during and after is playing days... Rest Easy Danny...... In your menory, ...

Saintsational members believed everything he said also. There were very few who were against his decisions, the few who did were howled down Then he got sacked and it became in vogue to criticise him, especially since it became obvious that his decisions were a mistake. I can't believe how many non...

Too many on here live in the past...it must be exhausting for you Really? How long do you keep saying this? Same again next year? After another 5 years of failure? When do we examine what's failed, and say we need to learn from it and change? If you don't examine the past, you are destined to repea...

His list management strategy was ridiculous

And yet the management/board believed everything he said... I've got know idea if he did infact have anything of value to add, but I'd expect the people running the club should know.

Who takes responsility for this extended period of misery inflicted on us saints supporters? No finals in 8 seasons and mostly finishing in bottom section of the ladder. What makes it worse is that we came off one our most sucessful periods at end of 2011 (from 1991 to 2011). You would think that th...

The disaster started way back when, We have no experienced elite talent And a large part of this is due to a timid management/board who implemented a policy of selecting players that were 'nice' people. We were scared of another 'st. kilda schoolgirl' incident (even though she lied), and M&M sa...

I care nothing about a 'boys club'....

I only care about competence....and this Board & Management has shown FA over 8 years....

If anything Leathean maybe the best of a bad bunch....

I think so... Some Context: Our club's past is full of turmoil. But in more recent times we have been a better focused club. The team played hard, dynamic football, we were relevant and exciting to watch, a club full of character.... We were pretty good in the 90s, and after the finals in 98, we fel...

We’re definitely not a laughing stock. Agreed we’re not the first choice for players who want the ultimate success soon. But it’s baby steps at the moment, and players from other clubs can see there is definitely upside coming to us. We’ll be mid table next year. Bookmark it. How is mid table in an...

Most embarrassing football club at the moment. Offering Shiel millions more than any other club and no chance of him coming. No leadership and no one to sell our club properly. If you knew the difference of our pitch versus the other clubs you would demand the immediate removal of all key figures a...

HAwks - same coach for over a decade, gun players retired and replaced with average GOP's - out of the finals in straight sets. A great coach does not a great team make! Players can make the coach look a genius and also a dud. It seems every team needs enough A grade talent before you can judge a c...

Can believe some of the moronic arguments some try here to use to justify our pathetic head coach. The saying 'a champion team will always beat a team of champions' applies more than ever in our modern, salary cap controlled football world. At the start of the year the dogs won the flag they had an ...

Given the respective talent available to both coaches, it could be argued both had similar underperforming seasons. How can a side with Dangerfield, Selwood, Albert, Menagola, Hawkins, Kelly, Taylor, Duncan surrender so meekly? Taylor & Ablett do look finished. This is a myth that the cats have...

I’ve given up - Finnis/Summers standing by him mean he’ll coach in 2019 I’ve never felt less enthused about the future than now Sadly if we win some games next season because we have some half smart assistants etc in.....how hard is it going to be replacing him then? His next defence will be “I’ve ...

Are there quotes in the media you can provide links to?

Our former captain - Its obvious, listen to his interviews on fox footy a few weeks ago.

To the rabble of fools on the board and the bureaucrat CEO (Finnis): The message is simple, you made a massive error in judgement by extending Richo's contract and you must now correct the situation. I cannot believe the level of incompetence displayed by the pack of baboons running our club. A pack...

There is only one certainty. Richo is a failed coach at AFL level, by any measure. Therefore, our club shouldn't be used as a free money pit to keep funding this coaching imposter. The replacement should come from a proper process to find a replacement, not a comical rushed job that we went through ...

So we are now to believe that all our angst about coaching and the poor performance of the team this season was due to the Assistant Coaches being no good ? I would have thought the Head Coach takes information from the Assistants and then tell them what he wants them to be doing / teaching / focus...

Classic Richardson.....what does this even mean....coach really strongly????? WTF is that??? This is when trying to describe how we won’t go backwards in 2019 while the article talks about recruiting a frighin broken down Hannerbury we in deep poo gang... “No that's not our focus. Our focus is to b...

Because the list is s***. Come on. It’s very very easy. Answer is right in front of you. Rubbish. Its because we have a non-existent game plan. After years of no player development, poor football culture (lack of work ethic and approach to the game), our players are often hesitant and uncertain, th...

I have zero confidence that our administration can turn things around. I hope I’m wrong, but I feel that we are yet to hit rock bottom. We only have one pick of any value in this draft and although the club are stating they want to get back into the early part of the draft, we simply do not have an...

Since 2011, our club has gone through a slow motion train wreck to leave us where we are now. After the North game, whatever the result, the club needs to transform, because more of the same has proving over and over agin that it doesn't work. The record speaks: 2 terrible coach selection, wooden sp...

Hey Moderator, could I suggest that we merge all the threads regarding the Board, there are currently 2, this one and the Bassett versus Watts one. Its an important issue which should be discussed, it'd be a pity if that discussion was fragmented over a number of threads. Thanks. I'm putting the fo...

After overseeing and approving of the destruction of a successful culture at our football club, and implementing a new soft, politically correct St.Kilda that can't play football, this board expects to continue the death spiral of the club by implementing more of the same by shifting out one AFL com...

It appears that our next president will either be Bassett or Watts with Bassett the favourite due to having more support from the current board . The last part is the important part. The current board has overseen our current sorry state. As the board they are responsible and accountable for our po...
