Hindsight my arse!!!
Hindsight is easily trotted out when failed decisions are made
StK cannot use this bulls*** as an excuse
Lovett trade (pick 16) No hindsight there, most with any knowledge knew his character- he was a drunk who bashed women!
Goddard and Dal the flick - horrendous calls, by Lyle Lanley!
Neither wanted to leave!
Petracca not taken at #1
A more obvious decision is hardly ever seen
Hannebery - FFS Damien Barrett was even right (which enrages me!)
Signing Ratt’s extension- wtf was that done mid season, when it didn’t need to be?!
I could give more
Tassie, Cousins, McEvoy… the list goes on
None of which were hindsight f*** ups
Just examples of StK mismanagement - which were pretty fkn obvious at the time!

When will the mismanagers be held accountable?

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
Maybe the Saints should relocate to Tassie. That could be their saving grace.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

West Coast....players drugged up to their eyeballs
Essendon .. players drugged by their coaches
Collingwood.... hopeless salary cap management
Gold Coast....shocking list management
Adelaide....camp crusty and the massive fallout
Melbourne...tanking. ...A coach with a gambling problem
Hawthorn...racism in coaching ranks. Psychopath president
North Melbourne....terrible recruiting
GWS... hopeless player retention
Carlton...salary cap cheating....constant in-fighting
Most clubs make mistakes, and plenty of them. This is nothing new

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
Sure they do but IMO we seem to make more than most but that is probably because we haven't won a flag in nearly 60 years & I don't give a sh-t about the otherscwrcyn wrote: ↑Fri 14 Oct 2022 9:18pm West Coast....players drugged up to their eyeballs

Yeah but a few too many of ours are like a musket exploding in our own faces after we swear we’ve loaded it correctly.cwrcyn wrote: ↑Fri 14 Oct 2022 9:18pm West Coast....players drugged up to their eyeballs

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
I agree 100%. At the very least Bassat must resign. To extend Ratten’s contract then sack him just oozes total incompetence. Perhaps the Board should fund his severance payment.B.M wrote: ↑Fri 14 Oct 2022 6:11pm Hindsight is easily trotted out when failed decisions are made

Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
Just watched the media conference of the Ratt's sacking fall out . Anyone who thinks we are in good hands needs to get a psych test . OMG we are in serious trouble

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
Have been for the last 10 years. It’s just that the “nice men” have been able to throw up red herrings like the pride match and the Moorabbin relocation as a distraction.bangaulegend wrote: ↑Fri 14 Oct 2022 11:28pm Just watched the media conference of the Ratt's sacking fall out .

Re: Hindsight my arse!!!
Or is Bassat finally doing his job. Hard to read, another misstep or a first step? Its fearless I'll give them that.happy feet wrote: ↑Fri 14 Oct 2022 10:57pmI agree 100%.
