Sam Mitchell is part of a multi-year succession plan at Hawthorn. No chance for us. Sorry. I'm guessing they will ramp up that transition and clarkson will be our man. Precisely why we should target Sam Mitchell. It might force Hawthorn's hand and if Sam Mitchell is off limits then it could possibl...

The St.kilda Football Club did the honourable thing by allowing Luke Beveridge to leave his director of coaching appointment to allow him to become the senior coach at the Western Bulldogs. Western Bulldogs have had him for five years and won a premiership. It's now time for the Western Bulldogs to ...

Lenny is in my top few all time favorites, but every assistant that steps up takes a couple of years to settle into the role, whereas an experienced guy like Lyon, Bevo etc, would hit the ground running The Ross Lyon ship has sailed and should not be revisited. If there is any way of getting Luke B...

Absolute legend, a champion footballer and human being.
He had so many qualities to admire and he had them in abundance.
Trevor Barker is my favourite St.kilda player of all time.

I think Sam Mitchell would be an inspired choice. As much as I love Lenny, I feel like he isn't sufficiently removed from the playing group/club employees who may need to be hit fair and square between the eyes about where we are and how we are going - Lenny can't hang his hat on 4 flags the way Mi...

See thats the issue for me. I dont think we can "take a punt", I dont think the membership base is able to stand another tumultuous period, particularly around a coach. Lenny is in my top few all time favorites, but every assistant that steps up takes a couple of years to settle into the ...

Good discussion. One thing that jumps out at me is our last 2 coaches, despite their experience, don’t seem to be good leaders. Hayes is someone who built a career around doing everything possible in terms of preparation to get ready... read Mission’s book, he was meticulous in everything he did......

I dont understand the strong push for Sam Mitchell or Lenny Hayes. Both are untried and unproven and the reality is the average punter really doesnt know how good they are. I certainly agree that if they can coach and lead as they played then by all means, but there's more to a senior coaching gig ...

Perhaps Richo as Director of coaching and Ratts head coach could be a good transition option. Of course if Richo has a good back half with afew players back, maybe there wont be a change Richardson as director of coaching. LOL Are you taking the piss? Ratten as head coach. WHY? He has been coach of...

I can however start the rumour mill going by telling you we have certain members of our club who have shared a coffee with two senior coaches and one assistant coach. And I’m pretty certain that that’s the least I know. Our President May appear meek and mild but he does not accept mediocrity. Sam M...

6. Stan Alves 7. Robert Walls 9. Alan Joyce - ex Hawks coach 10. Slug Jordan 11. Kevin Sheedy 12. John Northy The list is building... What is your point? I suggest Sam Mitchell should be a top priority to replace Alan Richardson and you rattle off a list of ridiculous suggestions which are somehow ...

Sam Mitchell (a tad early, perhaps, but would bring zest and enthusiasm and probably free agents. Followed the Saints as a kid and is mates with Brett Ratten). St.kilda should try and extract Sam Mitchell out of Hawthorn. I think Sam Mitchell has a bit of Trevor Barker about him which is a huge com...

1. Alistair Clarkson (not going to happen). 2. Luke Beveridge (very doubtful) 3. Sam Mitchell (a tad early, perhaps, but would bring zest and enthusiasm and probably free agents. Followed the Saints as a kid and is mates with Brett Ratten). 4. Lenny Hayes (a tad early, perhaps, but universally admi...

The stench of mediocrity hangs thick over this club. To attract top-line talent, Richo has to go -- at a bare minimum. And Brad Scott, Lethlean's mate, won't make any difference -- but would be exactly the sort of decision the current board would make. Sam Mitchell, Lenny Hayes. AGREE 100% I starte...

Seriously....a 2nd year player and a 19 year old getting pillared after having to deal with a Port avalanche and half his team mates not being 100%. Give these kids a break. Agree 100% i think he will be a decent footballer. Worth pick 8 ? Either way it's way too early to call. I remember flogs fla...

LENNY HAYES or SAM MITCHELL. This is who I'd like to see as the new senior coach. However Brad Scott is good mates with Lethlean and I expect once again Lethlean will look after his mates at the expense of the football club. Brad Scott will probably get a five year deal at around $800,000 a year. :e...

How do you know badger's have stiff arses ?

I reckon 5 years at 600-750k would get it done. Hannebery is on $800,000 and he will hardly play a game, let alone a decent one. Lethlean has completely f***ed the pay scale through his idiotic stupidity and total incompetence. Anyone with a clue knew Hannebery was cooked and done before he was rec...

As safe as houses in the Gaza Strip.

Everyone should not forget that if Simon Lethlean had his way Dylan Shiel would be a St.kilda player on 1.3 million dollars a year and pick 4 would have been given to Essendon. I wanted the club to draft Max King and am very glad they did... however we have Dylan Shiel to thank for this. Thankfully ...
