Lose to the Blues, Cho must GO

[The Fireman]

The big big broom that tony74 spoke about in June last year never eventuated. He specifically mentioned that the changes would include the coach and not just assistants

i'm sure it will happen soon...I watched Rich's post match...wish I hadn't

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Nothing will happen with Richo until season's end. Its ridiculous to speculate when we are 4-5 and have a better draw after the bye. Anything could happen or not much.

Just once I'd like him to come out with something different or original or something which takes the pressure off his players and points it fairly and squarely on his shoulders alone.

How'bout someting refreshing Cho like I am accountable for what we dished up out there today

Or...we were thinking of playing this bloke on their midfielder who killed us but it was my call not to tag

Or...the assistant coaches wanted support for Marshall with another recognised ruckman but I overruled them

Or...I made a few mistakes an we were thinking of playing a few different blokes and we stuffed up with team selection.

6 years of the same bs and passing the blame on to everyone else except himself

Jesus christ...this is not reality millenial TV.

Who gives a f*** what Richo says in front of the media and how he talks or looks or what clothes he wears.

I can't even watch other games atm..Richo is destroying my love of the game.

until he goes we will tread water and the peanut gallery on here will continue to extol the virtues of mediocrity

+1000.
Up till our Giants game,
I used to watch every game on free-to-air (in Perth we don't get much)
but now I just lost all forking interest.
Can't watch any more.
If I did, I would see what our spuds SHOULD be doing
'Why can't WE play like that? "

[skeptic]

I get the impression that some forumites would rather see the club go down in flames, failure after failure, terrible moves, celebrating mediocre performances rather acknowledge there are problems and make appropriate changes.

It’s called being positive.
Kent is great... everyone is jealous of our recruit of the decade
Richo is getting better as a coach every week
Saints are certainties to make the finals... the 1 point win against GC was especially impressive
We definitely don’t have an issue with playing one ruck + Acres or Bruce
To suggest Acres should play in the middle is madness

And of course my favourite is the recent musing that Richo moving Battle to the backline is a master stroke of coaching... it had nothing to with the fact that Carlisle, Austin and Clavarino went down, Roberton was still an unknown factor + Brown was suspended and Battle was the only fit big guy we had left that was cemented in the top 22...
That was classic Richo ingenuity that we’ve seen so much of over 5 years

[skeptic]

And let’s not forget my other favourite line of late...

I reckon we’ll bounce back this week... chin up guys

Yep, I got a feeling we’ll smash ‘em, the boys are fired up!

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well the Blues are getting smashed by GWS right now.

Sounds like you need a holiday from following the Saints altogether. Not sure why you're even bothering to post here, if you're not even watching the games. In fact, it makes absolutely no sense. Time to give it a rest. mate!

probably right

[chook23]

We may face a carlton team which will have a new coach.....either way they will be smashed in the media this week......

they may respond

[Impatient Sainter]

GWS 87 to Carlton 13 at half time. Next week might be the battle of which club sacks its coach first?

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

100 points nearly.

Hopefully this destroys Carlton massively.

How is that rebuild going ListManager?

Clubs just won't sack coaches in season any more. Just not going to happen.

Come on Mr Fire. All is not lost. We are down 3-4 of our best players, and we are certainly giving each game a good crack. Alot to like in the future, but you are dreaming if you think we should be playing finals this year.

You young guys. No substance to ya!

[HighettMan]

8 players with under 20 games and a significant injury list and our captain out and we were in the game for 3 quarters against this years premiership favorite with probably one of the most talented lists seen in the AFL for 2 decades, and they are hitting thier prime.

We have a good list that is building nicely. Some young players have been given great exposure due to the injury crisis we've had for the past two seasons and when we start getting back some of our best 22 our depth will be strong. We still need to keep adding 2 or 3 AFL ready players over the next few years but the club is on the right path.

[Cairnsman]

can anyone verify that this is his last season if he fails to win a final in 2019

I'm fine with this if this can be confirmed, gives us closure and an end date rather than the guessing that's been going on and the impatience

I'm out of patience and would like certainty that we've given him a better than good run and all things must end

If we must write the season off, lets be sure we have a fresh start next year with someone else at the helm

Club rep confirmed this to me directly.

That's not true. It is impossible for "club reps" to know the details of contracts simply because of the way contracts are processed. And for obvious reasons when you think about it. AFL clubs are part of a multibillion dollar franchise where consequences for compromising sensitive information are significant and not least of all due to commercial integrity and legal reasons. Think gambling implications for starters.

Just be happy to be a passionate supporter.

If he could coach it wouldn't matter but

[ss1986]

What if we beat Carlton?

Call me crazy, but I think we have a good chance of winning that game.

If we beat Carlton, we’ll have done exactly what we should have done. Nothing more.

Time will tell, cos we sure as hell arent making finals, let alone win one.

Richo will see the season out. Then make the appropriate decision. As for Battle he was being talked about going to the backline early in the pre season well before Jake, Roberton & Austin went down with season ending injuries.
