Glad to see Sean back, but will get excited if there is tangible results during the trading period and next season.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

'Many' are wrong.
According to the 'football experts' on here, if they come to St Kilda they are no good.

Don't know about any of the other appointments made ( meaning some are proven average coaches, some are unproven).

But D Rath, he is 100% a serious grab! He came to Hawks in 2004 and has been credited widely with transforming their kicking, play style and efficiency for 12 years and just a few GF Cups!!
I am chuffed!!!!

Part time strength and conditioning, seems fitting given the guns he was sporting in his career.

Gen Manager of Football - Lethlean

Head of Football Program - Rath

Head of Football Operations - Sexton

Senior Coach - Ratten

Ratten answers to Lethlean I guess -> wonder how the reporting structures are with all these other Heads :shock:

“In his new role, Rath will oversee St Kilda's assistant coaches, development coaches and football analysts. He will also be in charge of game plan, coach education and development, training, player skill acquisition, training analytics, game analysis and IT, leadership and player development.”

Reading that article, with his experience and diverse skills, he looks like a really excellent get. Well done to the club. We’re starting to have a strong influence from Hawthorn’s dominance early this decade. Excellent news.

Sexton will move into a newly created Head of Football Operations role, sitting across all football operations for men’s and women’s football.

Which sounds like a sideways shift away from strategy and coaching and more on the administrative side.

They may not, but if they are gaining anyone from the remaining 4 clubs they would keep it quiet for now.

They have beefed up other football roles, and Roughead is meant to be doing some coaching as part of his duties

ie
Roughead will be with St Kilda for at least the next three years working across:
- list management,
- the club’s leadership and mentoring program, (This is an aspect of coaching)
- performing a match day role (note stated what this is but could involve coaching duties?)
- and working with some of the club’s emerging key position players.
