Assistant coaching changes

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Been some movement in other clubs. E.g. Caracella is leaving Tigers

I'm pretty sure there is a deadline of Sept 1st for clubs having to tell their assistants whether they will keep them or not.

Any thoughts on Saints assistants coming or going?
I can't see Ratta or Ladey going. Not sure on the others.

[Bernard Shakey]

Deadline was 1 August!

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Lol. Guess they are all staying then. Unless it's being kept private. They didn't last year.

[Special]

IF all our assistants are staying
THEN Ratts will be our coach next year.

Clearly part of the plan when Ratts and the other assistants were brought in a year ago

I've heard worse conclusions drawn

[bigred]

Who is Ratta?

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Brett Ratten. If you drop the "en" and add an "a" you get Ratta. It's a shortening of his last name Ratten which is common in Australian culture to do such a thing.

Caracella going to the doping drug cheats according to my *sources...

on the afl site too. disappointing if this means we're not interviewing him for the top job.

[St Chris]

How does Ratten possibly stay on if he misses out of the top job?? Especially considering how public he has been is his want for the position.

[Impatient Sainter]

Sexton has to goooooooo!

[B.M]

Lade needs to go

And Sexton

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Sexton is not an assistant and why Lade?

[B.M]

Sexton has been there too long, and needs to go, director of poor coaching

Lade, couldn’t coach a pig to be dirty. His coaching CV is horrendous

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

You might think that but if Ratta gets the head coach job and Ladey stays then Ratta obviously thinks highly of him. That says a lot to me as a supporter.

As for Sexton, seriously no one has a clue what he does but he obviously does it very well behind the scenes which doesn't affect what happens on the field.

[B.M]

Firstly, can you stop calling him Ratts, no one calls him that. His nickname is Ratts.

Sexton is director of coaching
Under his tenure 2 senior coaches have been sacked and a number of Assistants moved on.

Piss him off

Lade, should not be coaching an AFL midfield

So what should we call him?

Alfred...?






I agree with you re Sexton and Lade.

Get rid of hamill

[B.M]

Hamill is coaching a side Norm Smith wouldn’t get a win with

[barks4eva]

If you have no idea as to what he does, how can you possibly critique it by saying he does it very well when you have no idea as to what it is that he is doing to begin with ?

AND

If you don't have any idea as to what he does, how can you claim it has no affect on what happens on the field ?

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

Please tell me what Sexton does then?
Does his role influence the players output on the field on match day?
Why should he be sacked?

[saynta]

Get rid of hamill

Won't happen if Ratten is appointed coach.

[samuraisaint]

More must go. All assistants who were at the club prior to last preseason need to be moved on.
Love Sammy but it's time to question how our players are (not) being developed in the reserves.
