No Oppo Supporters St.Kilda sack Brett Ratten

[George]

3pm, no media release e-mail has been sent out. It's a wrap for this week. Enthralling stuff, almost 7000 posts in a week, has to be one of our most popular threads.

I will monitor the inbox for anything that comes through over the weekend and next week and keep you guys in the loop if nothing is leaked publicly until then.

Just a poor take I reckon mate, better to own it as opposed to try and justify calling someone who has been through traumatic life experiences soft. Losing his job is a blip on the radar when it comes to some of the stuff he has had to live through. Soft is the last thing I would associate with a guy like that.

If supporters are upset that they didn't get a lovely goodbye message then they should probably re-evaluate what is important to them in their own lives.

Sure he is not soft but a parting message shows respect for the fans. Perhaps he will provide one at a later point?

I'm forever blowing bubbles would be a great song for the Saints as well as it does highlight our history and mindset.

I imagine it could be sung by some lisping musical theatrical types.

Think Ratts can be forgiven if he never makes a release to fans. I certainly don't need it.
Been through enough.

Yeah yeah, I know we are all hard Kent's. I didn't say he was soft, I said the fact that he hasn't done what every other coach does is soft. Hell, a lot of coaches actually sit in on the press conference of them being sacked. Massive respect to those guys. Ratten has chosen to go to ground - that's his choice I guess..

For someone with Brett's character there's no doubt he will make a statement and a thankyou. He's just lost his job 100 days after being extended. Personally I just hope he's alright, couldn't give a stuff that he hasn't thanked me for supporting him the last 3 years.

You said it was a character flaw of his. It was a silly comment IMO, been through much more difficult situations in his life than losing a job.

Fair enough.

It does have an empty feeling to it though. He’s not the only person who has gone through hard stuff in his life, that’s for sure.

Fair enough. I think he probably will as well.

Let’s revisit if he doesn’t though, then your first sentence will be interesting. But I am on the side of he will as well.

Remember “we” tried to get the Southampton chant up at one stage. Didn’t stick.

The “RTB Effect”?

'I owe a lot of my success to him': Brayshaw backs Lyon for Saints gig

Andrew Brayshaw has thrown his support behind his former mentor, saying he taught him a lot of life lessons

But Ross can't develop kids.... Kingy on the phone to Brayshaw to ask questions, good sign. Lyon can turn King into the best player in the comp.

It looks impressive, but it's really just the old Batman trick...




Next is the "wall climb"

Looks like Ronnie Byrnes is trying to impersonate Clint Jones in an effort to get selected by Ross.
