Get ready for years of pain Saints fans

Should trade some big names to gws and start fresh

"Also with no coach, we may see the back of players like bj and other of our few elites as they search for a flag"

Or they think could think stuff Ross, we'll show him?

Do you honestly think that is what they are thinking.

That's what I'd be thinking...

Admittedly I like a challenge and to prove people wrong

Good on you. Yep, that's what I'd be thinking too.

They may well appreciate a change, once the shock wears off.

Who knows, they may have been thinking their window was closing under Ross and that a new coach will bring a fresh start. May well galvanize them.

After all, it was BJ kissing his jumper and thumping our crest - not Ross

This is exactly what i need.

A few years of us being in the wilderness again because it will test my loyalty.... last time this happened 2001-02 I became such a bad supporter, sometimes we would play games and I wasn't even aware we were playing.

So it will be interesting to see if I disappear or still take notice of every time we play football, even if I know we've got no chance some weeks.

Plus I'm looking forward to seeing us develop our younger players now!

Hope they take the enthusiasm out on the field like you guys.

Silly post, we have a good bunch of young kids coming through.

- Sipposs
- Crocker
- Ledger
- Winmar
- Cripps
- Walsh
- Stanley
- Simpkin

I always reckoned if Ross saw anything in them he'd have stuck around

thinking Ross was staying I looked at this list and said, yep we're OK...

who knows now?

[Leo.J]

Get ready for years of pain you reckon....

There's only been 1 pain free year in our history... a few more couldn't hurt.

[bigcarl]

Like a rat deserting a sinking ship.

I hope whoever our new coach is shows him up as a fraud.

Why? He's shown very little interest in developing talent.

[Jacks Back]

It would be good if Pelchin can pick some players from the draft with some modicom of skills. That would be a great start for the new coach.

[BigMart]

Why the back flip.....

Ross can never be questioned one day......the next.....

In ross we trust.....blindly

Some did question, even when we were on top........dont be critical now, if you couldnt (and wouldnt allow anyone else to) be just a day ago

[dartos]

I suppose the next big news we will hear is that Ricky Nixon is our new coach...Nick/ dal and Goddard go north and a girl with the initials KD is going to be our preformance coach!

[St. Luke]

Could you blame the players wishing to make a clean start? I know I couldn't. Quite unbelievable. It's a very low act. Another reason now to boo Freo. By all accounts Freo fans are ropeable about the knifing of Harvey.

[totallyfrank]

It's only pain when there's expectation

[Winmar]

Things could be worse. A change of coach might end up being what's needed if we get the right man.
