Bluemour 'Silly Season' Edition XXXIV

[The Bighouse]

Not only is the comparison worthless, it's also too big a risk.

A year at state level to show he's settle is needed before taking the punt.

Carlton VFL…

 

[katmanblue]

Yes. One of those things is coachable with the right structures...

Yet the ones with talent but not application got delisted.

I'd take a flyer on Stack, but I wouldn't expect much.

A BIG Nooooo to Stack or anyone else delisted.
It’s DRAFT time.

Many run ins with police that the media isn't aware of. Unemployable from what I've heard

 

[TENACIOUS]

Richmond has informed Jake Aarts, Sydney Stack, Riley Collier-Dawkins and Will Martyn that they will not be offered contracts in 2023.

Wouldn't mind picking up Stack. Seems like a low risk high reward pick. Not sure how many free spots we have but could be a good option

Stack would be worth a shot as a free hit, purely on talent...

 

[Garters]

Carlton VFL…

Would do that in a heartbeat

and St Kilda have parted ways.

Bit shocked by this.

 

[Matty411]

2m after they re-signed him for 2 years as well. Feel for the bloke.

 

[TENACIOUS]

In before someone suggests picking up Stack and bringing Betts across as a coach/mentor to help him get his life back on track....

Recon Voss and Power would be perfect as a coach/mentor to help him get his life back on track...

What an odd call on Ratten. Had a rag tag list playing good footy at times.

He's desperately unlucky.

We have an opening in development, bring him in !! He’s extremely good value and I think he’s better suited in a lesser role anyways. Perfect to have at the club under vossy.

This is terrible news at this current moment but the best for him long term.
This basket case of a club was only going to make things worse.
Fancy signing a bloke and 2 months later ‘parting ways’. What did John like to call them.

Not really.

2nd time around, sacked. Same narrative

Whatever the future holds for Ratts, just gotta say I feel for him. Endured so much. Wishing him and his family all the best.

 

[Juice030103]

Surely this one is yze job

As if you wouldn't be rapt if we did that...

 

[thebluenewdeal]

Unless they’ve already given the job to Lyon

 

[branedotorg]

Feel for Brett but I thought his time at Hawthorn would have taught him more, saints were very similar to us when he was coaching.

Looked a million bucks when winning and abject when not

 

[KohPhi]

Ratts an assistant coach under Clarko yeah??

 

[Blue By Blood]

As if you wouldn't be rapt if we did that...

Would love Betts back at the club in a mentoring/coaching role for all of our players. Was the ultimate pro, has a wealth of knowledge on how to prepare mentally and physically for games and how to handle the pressures of AFL life, media included. Also just an all round great guy and great for club culture. Many times during the year he mentioned the Blues as ‘us’ or ‘we’ so his heart still beats blue.

Brett Ratten surely isn't that far gone.

For a person of Sydney Stack's talent, it would be wise to investigate. If as stated above that he is unemployable, then so be it, no harm done.
However, with the soft cap being raised, hire Eddie Betts back in a similar role to what he has done for Stengle and if he can turn Stack around, then is this a possibility?
Happy to be proven wrong. Nobody at the start of the year had Stengle for 50+ goals and AA combined with a premiership. DFA with caveats?

Lovely guy. Been through tonnes. Feel for him but fairly sure he's just a bang average (or worse) AFL coach.

He'll be getting paid a shit tonne by st kilda to coach against them for the next 2 years.

Presumably will cost another club barely anything to put him on as assistant and Saints pay the excess bill.

Not sure I want him returning to be assistant with us.

 

[rp84]

Speaking of Eddie, has there been any mention?

 

[ferrisb]

Brett Ratten surely isn't that far gone.

Spending four years at the Saints is enough to destroy anyone's spirit...
