I reckon at this stage - with a new coach incoming - just about everyone is up for grabs at the right price. Not shopping the whole list around, but you listen to every approach with an open mind. If someone was desperate and came offering a pick in the first half of the second round (somewhere betw...

I think we're done for this year.

Maybe Clavarino, but it would be gifting a game, he's not banging down the door.

TBH it's probably more important for us to see Steven and Hannebery play more footy this year than White or Rice.....

Coaching to "not lose" is certainly not limited to Richo. Its a symptom of the over-analysis our game is currently subjected to. There's no coincidence that the clubs with interim coaches are playing with more freedom and getting better results. Once the "don't get blown out of the wa...

Lets be honest, he should probably be the last too......its a shocker.

Coaches sponsor I believe.....

Probably heard the Richo rumblings and thought there was a situation to exploit, and handed over a minimum sum. Between a sacking, an interim coach and a new appointment, being a coaches sponsor for 6 months is not a bad way to get some decent exposure!!

Not playing the game at the highest level is not the issue - if Craig Bellamy came out tomorrow and said he wanted to be St Kilda's coach, I'd pay his salary myself. But if her coaching ability was so impressive, not only would she still be involved with the mens program, her position and responsibi...

Newnes has not been our worst since his game in the VFL.

Got to remember Richo has resigned.....the President (voluntary position) can't be expcted to stay in Melb just in case that happens....

I'm more concerned about where Lethlean was?? Keeping his distance so when his mate gets the gig, the appointment looks legit??

Good luck to Richo - I think in 12 months time we might look back thinking he could actually coach, but he's had plenty of time to build a successful side and he had to go. He'll get a decent assistant role somewhere, I think this year he has redeemed his ability somewhat, if he'd left at the end of...

"......this is ground control to Major Chol......"

He can't be 22 and a FA?? Out of contract, maybe, but no free agent.....

He has struggled to play many games - he may have entered the Callum Sinclair Club - where the Saints make duds look like superstars.....

Never listened to any AFL coach’s press conference before??

I just don't know how we bank-roll that kind of appointment?? We probably have one of the lowest paid senior coaches in the league, where do we find the additional cash to pay the most successful coach in the comp in the last 20 years?? From what I know of Andrew Bassat, he's probably too smart to d...

Richo's fate is decided.....short of an 11 game winning streak which culminates in a flag, he's gone.

So might as well get behind the boys (cause most of them will still be around next year) and give these Geelong pricks a touch up.

Save the spleen venting and moaning for during the week

Pretty sure Jimmy Webster's hand has actually been amputated and he wont play until a new one has grown back.

In a word, no.

Lonie will come back eventually because he deserves his spot back.

Anyone in the back 6 from Sandy should not be anywhere near our AFL team, they were all awful.

Armo was probably the most dangerous looking Saint, but I hope we’ve moved past him for good.

Top 5 will be Marshall, Steele, Billings, Gresham & Ross. Order will be decided by form and injury for the last third of the year.

On the TV coverage they highlighted his running power and ability to track back in support then spread and offer an option when the ball is turned over. I’ve seen enough to know he hasn’t forgotten how to be a gun footballer, it’s all about the body holding out now. Would love to see him make it to ...

Umpire no 30 is killing us. Big tigers fan, has to be...

Sure this is just his management throwing out a red herring to increase the offer from the Bombers.

Out: Armo, Marsh, Newnes. In: Paton, Brown, Coffield. Stick a fork in Armo, Marsh is depth at best and not AFL standard, and Newnes can go back to VFL and remember how to be involved in the game for 4 quarters. Sinclair pretty lucky there's no one to replace him, Parker did nothing until halfway thr...

Happy for Ratten to take the reigns for the year, but being our forwards coach, and seeing how limp our forward line is playing, not sure he’s the right guy long term.

I reckon we’d be crazy not to look at Sauce Jacobs as well. Down the pecking order at the Crows, he’s be a good get for depth and to keep the pressure on Marshall.

The need for this type of player is so evident for us to take the next step. Why I fail to understand is how we will keep all the players happy if he is getting that type of coin. Scenario - Billings signs for 2 and then at the end of 2021wants something in comparison to CONIGLIO money. “ I he is g...

Free agent too - would only cost us cash, no way GWS could match an offer like that. Let’s hope Gubby pulls some strings here....

The footage is making the rounds of the twittersphere - it looks terrible and if he has avoided an ACL tear, it’s a minor miracle - anything could have happened in that contest.
