GT on the news

[B.M]

Is spot on

[happy feet]

What did GT say?

[spert]

GT going for the jugular, then again, the last two losses plus the bad losses last year just show there's a lot of jelly legs on our list who go to water a bit too easy.

[skeptic]

Why did ppl insist on starting threads that don’t elaborate on what they’re talking about.

It’s so boring.

Nobody has taken responsibility for this debacle. Lethlean makes decisions like this as well as appointing his mate List Manager (no recruiting or list experience prior) and we wonder why there are problems

You don’t pander to a player sooking and not providing second efforts whilst displaying poor body language and blaming team mates. It’s a non-negotiable. Whenever Howard is beaten he immediately blames every Saint in ear shot. The body manifests what the mind harbours. Team game

… says the guy who, with zero experience, was appointed senior coach by his mate.

I guess winning four flags in five years at Warrnambool really doesnt count does it

[B.M]

Also coached Old Xavs

[B.M]

He said

Hold off contract talks with Ratten until near the end of the year

Ask the question of Clarkson

Recruit DeGoey because he’s a match winner

Back culture to get the best out of him

Bagged King and Howard for their body language

No more than playing in Warrnambool’s premiership team would qualify you for playing in the AFL

Really not a fan of Howard of late.

Getting beaten easily, second efforts aren’t there and constantly throws his hands up with that “what? What could I do?” expression.

[B.M]

So the only people that can coach AFL are people that have coached AFL?

Being head coach at a club is much different to playing. Its still about man management, processes, looking after the different areas and personalities.

That's why in the NBA they love it if you've coached at g-league or college level, as opposed to just being an assistant coach for 10 years.

[realdeal]

Besides that, he's not wrong in what he says is he....

[Devilhead]

Where was ole fat guts when we were 8 & 3?

[SaintPav]

Can we trade Howard?

I don’t like it.

[SydneySainter]

At least have some experience in coaching at the top level, be that as an assistant or skills coach, whatever. The skill level between the VFL and the AFL is a large enough quantum, let alone the suburban leagues.

If you’re running a multi-million dollar business that employs close to 100 staff, would you employ someone whose management background was running a successful fish and chip shop as the general manager?

[Devilhead]

I actually don't mind when fat gob Thommo opens his mouth cause invariably we usually respond and make him look like a disgruntled has been

He wasn’t appointed senior coach at an AFL club because he coached in the bush. He was appointed because his mate was president.

And yet he sees no hypocrisy in the drivel he posts on Twitter.

I’m not a Grant fan (for those on Mars who might not have picked that..) but on this occasion the points he makes are spot on.

Derelict in their duty if this Board has already or does sign Ratten before later in this season

[cwrcyn]

Hang on, did I get this right? He bags our clubs and its processes and then tells us to get deGoey and back our culture to get the best out of him?

He thinks deGoey is a match winner? When was the last time he dominated a game like Dustin martin at his best?

[B.M]

Against us

He kicked 6 and had 20 or more

Don’t forget the process the club went through when taking Grant from interim to FT coach.

Amazing Grant does. Not see the irony of his comments.
