Richo on 360 transcript

[The Recruit]

I am sure I speak for many saints supporters who don’t have Foxtel out there that I am disappointed I won’t get to see Richie response on 360 tonight. I am sure it will much of what he has said

What are we going to do about it
Disappointed not digging deep for heir mates blah blah

But if someone with Foxtel could give a short debrief of what was asked and said after his time slot tonight that would be amazing...

[Saintly66]

Really even comp
Don’t think we’re giving the Roos enough credit
Disappointing
Confident it won’t happen again
Spoke about the move back to Moorabbin and how we want to get back to the fans.
The worst performance we will dish out...confident our worst won’t be that bad.

[Rocket]

Was questioned re quality of list, could have peaked on down slope. He responded by saying “we are a much better team that what you saw on the weekend”. He was under real pressure tonight, body language was guarded and uncomfortable. Robinson put some heat on the coaching group. Response was “I take full responsibility”.

I’m waiting for Finnis to say he’s backing Richo, so we know his sacking is imminent.

Richo is yesterday’s man IMO

[Con Gorozidis]

Round 17 and 18 last year were just as horrendous.
So not sure how he can be confident it won't happen again.
They seriously just think the fans are so dumb we can't remember longer than a few weeks.

bulls***, if you think last years Melb game was anything like Friday, then you know 4/5s of nothing. For a start if we kicjed straight in that Melb game, we won. Friday was all round crap and lightyears worse.

Thank you - I’m glad someone else agrees. I don’t think we’ll be that bad again either but - I don’t think there’s a great deal of improvement left in a number of our players.

I cannnot believe that so many of our players have just stagnated under Richo (when his major selling point was his development credentials)

Yep, Nth game was worse than anything we dished up last season, and I'll include the interstate beatings in that to.

Yeap, this!!!!!

Ten of their goals were kicked when who was off the ground?????

Give it a rest. Longer was shite.

Jesus Christ. Give it a rest. You seem to think Billy is Polly Farmer.
North had about a million inside 50s in the first half when Longer was on the field.
He is irrelevant. He certainly isn't the Messiah.

We lost by 24 points against Melbourne. A comfortable loss in anyone's language.

Given what was at stake. In the context of the season. That was a s*** game.

Not sure what u are actually arguing?

The Bombers game and the Swans game last year were horrific.

We are consistently s*** with the occasional good game.

[stonecold]

Not hard to wake the villagers on here!!!!!

Just stating the facts!!!!!

Connie and the Cardinal, sounds like a title for a TV comedy, R rated of course!!!!!

[SaintPav]

Longer is good player.

Right!

[stonecold]

Longer is good player.

Right!

No bad players make it to AFL, they usually end up on fan forums such as this!!!!!

[bigred]

We had a few stinkers last year. A couple hurt even more because we basically blew our season when we really had a chance to do something.

So much of it was off our own boot though. Our goal kicking last year was deplorable and it cost us games. Many games.

Richo should be under the pump. I'm sick of this crap as many of you are. I mean, we should not be this deep into a freaking rebuild and be staring at another one.

When you really look deeply at our position, we really cannot afford a losing season.

If anything, unless they start making some on field statements in the next few weeks, we will be financially cooked for 2018.

If we don't win three out of the next four we are done. And I cant see us winning one out of the next four.

[Drake Huggins]

Is TMBK the new Terry Wallet?

[bouttime]

couple of issues with the Foxtel questioning and Richo's responses.
He tries to keep a very level head, no room for emotion just "remain on the program" type of management.
Western Bulldogs won a Premiership with a plan and plenty of buy in and emotion.
appears to me we have neither at the moment AND worse our club has accepted horrible skill level with this group for years now.
I have seen enough.

[SaintPav]

Did he try and put trout under the bus again?

I’m beginning to think we should cut our losses and give Richo the arse now.

[bouttime]

who's trout?
We always sack people in times of trouble.
Prefer we learn a little about the game plan and skills development program

[spert]

I think you might be onto something there..

[Yorkeys]

Perhaps it is the huge disappointment of realising there is no plan and currently no hope of being part of a journey, even if it means pain for a while, that hurts so much. Richo has been personally successful in getting a senior coach job and securing it for multiple years, but that agenda has not helped Saints teams really improve. GT by contrast had passion, game plan that appreciated team weaknesses and it was ok with me. The trend is now back to bottom three; so early in the season its a bugger. There is no spark, no enthusiasm, no fun. You don't have to win the premiership but its nice to be able to enjoy effort and incremental improvement. AR knows the processes and rhetoric by rote but doesn't seem to understand team dynamics.

[iwantmeseats]

it was the same old rhetoric from Richo. Said absolutely everything you would expect him to, and exactly nothing of what you would not expect from him. How he got a second year on 360 makes me laugh.

[mbogo]

Agreed!

There seems to be NO EVIDENCE that we are going to go anywhere but backwards under Richo. Why not bring in someone with some integrity or passion about them? Richo just seems to be even or "flat". He does not inspire confidence, quite the opposite - and the players seem to play like this - with no passion or confidence (apart from Maddy's game). I do not think the list is anywhere near as bad as it plays at times. When at its best, the team can beat more than half of the opposition.

How can we not have worked on the "bomb it into the forward line" 60's - 70's strategy at all over the past three years! It has been very obvious and at its terrible worse when it was bombed high to Jack S against a couple of taller Roos. Its absurd and so frustrating to watch. Where is the strategy? The coach should take responsibility, alright, by walking!

[Con Gorozidis]

Great to stick by the plan if the plan is a good one.
But it is a rubbish plan and we don't have the cattle.
Richo is just doubling down on delusions.

I'll bet his favourite book is 'the secret'.
