You must get a lot of chaffing<edited by mods>

I dont normally do emojis but I don't want intonation to be lost with this post.

Do a search for posts between SB and myself for 2018 around the time there was just plain and blatant lies and false claims perpetuated on here by SB about Richo throwing players under the bus to protect himself. ..... He made it very personal, a match day thread, probably one of Alan's last where ...

I hope Betts plays, the question is which one of our players thinks they can beat a 32yo legend of the game that is seriously dropping away at the moment. I doubt anyone that gets picked to play on him will fear him and will be very confident of beating him. I suspect whoever does get him will be s...

The issue at play here IMO is that the majority of the criticism directed at Richo over the last 18 months has been about his performance as coach and his decision making. The criticism of that criticism has focused more on supporter loyalty, a perception of things being personal and this bizarre c...

The other point I forgot to make. I am really loving the post match press conferences. Brett Ratten talks like a normal person. He says what he thinks without sounding like a cliche. His footy observations are interesting to listen to. Such a refreshing change. I don't watch press conferences, what...

Is it coincidence that we started playing better when we added an A grader to the team. We've missed him big time. Love that he brings a bit of swagger, it clearly rubs off on his teammates We lost the first four games when he came back. Maybe it’s Langlands. He didn't have pre season so I'll give ...

Yup, he’s pretty much the coaches EA. He triages the flow of correspondence & goes on coffee runs. Apparently he can put together an excellent excel spreadsheet & specialises in setting up calendar reminders. Seriously, how is this bloke still employed with the club? That's exactly what I w...

I'm just delighted this clown hasn't been included on the Selection Panel for the next coach. He's been at the club since 2006 and has been Director of Coaching since 2015. You must be an absolute world beater in your chosen profession. You speak about people you don't know in such derogatory tones...

Anyone that has ever suggested Seb should be traded clearly reads too many science fiction books.

Good rule. For the record, and as previously stated on many occasions, I thought it was the right thing to keep Alan for this season while SL got his feet under the desk and prepare a robust succession plan. It didn't mean I wasn't critical of some of the coaching at times. The place would have reve...

HM, I really enjoy how you more than anyone get my juices flowing to post, that's a good thing because you do make me think and take into account other views. It usually ends with you saying, "You really don't understand" or "You don't get get it, do you?" Or words to that effec...

HM, I think that points to AFL not ready, fair point IMO. Saying they "shouldn't" play again this season when there are still 5 matches to go and so much to achieve other than reaching finals is the point. The club has to build hope and excitement and have momentum going into the pre seas...

The club is a circus under clowns Finnis and Lethlean not surprised one bit they got a seat on the selection commitee. It will be another boys club appointment in Brad Scott . And then they expect us to be loyal to our club after treating memebers and supporters like fools. Our membership numbers w...

From saints.com.au "Ben Long will return to the senior side ahead of St Kilda's match with Melbourne on Saturday night. The 21-year-old missed last week's game to travel to Darwin and spend time with family following the passing of his grandfather and St Mary's legend, Jack Long Sr. Long has b...

McKenzie re-signed for 3 years!!! Seriously! I think he can play, has shown a bit and sometimes makes me think he could be at the very least a 200 gamer, but yeah I've got a question mark over 3 years looking at that metric in isolation. . The devil might be in the detail, i.e. outgoing costs of co...

Should be writing for cricket as well. Makes the repetitive and mundane sound like poetry.

With the benefit of hindsight I think BR was selected as the next coach not long after SL took over.

Process is for illusion only and KYA. Why waste money on an expensive and expansive selection committee for illusion purposes only.

However...if RL becomes available.

Surely the club is looking for a coach that has selection integrity as thier absolute non negotiable number one selection criteria...that and being good at press conferences. Surely there are now question marks over BR and his suitability for our head coach position. Is it possible Alan has badly in...

Where is the selection integrity, Parker being dropped is a disgrace. Can't believe Newnes gets picked ahead of him.

To be honest, I don't particularly care if I see Hanners in the side again this season. It's been a forgettable season for him, I'm not sure I could cope if he broke down again. His pre season can start now. These matches are an opportunity for others to gain experience and show their future value....

I say cut him loose, we got Nick Hind. Jack will make a great 5th Banana at the Cats in his twilight.
