You're confusing me with other posters. I didn't like Bruce for culture reasons and Seb mostly the same.
Both can be excellent on their day but on the whole we're better of parting ways imho.

There is a house in Ravello on the Amalfi in Italy where Wager wrote couple of operas. One of the most picturesque places I've ever been. I miss travelling.

What if we play so well Clarko wants to jump on the bandwagon as an assistant coach or even the bootstudder (to help our salary cap)

Not sure what Richo has got to do with this years performance.I'm wary of club propaganda these days but this piece is the most important thing in the last years:
The benefit of opening Pandora’s Box mid-season
Senior coach Brett Ratten has shed some light on St Kilda’s mid-season stint in Sydney, along with the “risk” posed by addressing such a raw topic midway through the season.www.saints.com.au
We were a mentally broken club and it was stuck within the playing group. From the outside it seems that our brains trust has managed to repair the break now and we aught be able to expect continuity of performance from here on.
I'm not counting my chickens just yet, but like I said I rate this as the watershed moment for our playing group and without it there was no amount of coaching or recruiting that was gonna make a difference.
This is the damage to the psychology of players that the wrong choice of coach can make. Not only was Richo inept at coaching, but he destroyed the mentality on those under his charge.
Neild was probably similar in the same way but was sufficiently destructive that he was booted much quicker.
Looks and sounds more like Ratts, the club and the players got ahead of themselves on the back of last years success.
Then they underestimated the impact of a change back to full length games, and that, along with the decision to try and place more responsibility on the players in the preseason, put us behind the 8 ball when things began to go pear shaped.
1st world problem though.
I think my parents were in their 50s or 60s before they ever went overseas. ( New Zealand doesn't count does it )?

Absolutely, cheap travel is ****ing up the places tourist go too. It's a blight but I really enjoy getting overseas. Places like Venice have become theme parks not actual living places.
I don't look at a season in isolation.
These putrid efforts and mental weakness started after Roo and Joey left and it became metronomic after a while.
The second half of this season is the longest run of four quarter efforts since Roo retired, and it has everything to do with Richo.
Bali in the 1970s revealed in fascinating photo series
A fascinating photo album by an Australian surfer reveals what the Indonesian island of Bali looked like more than 40 years ago, with pristine beaches, quiet streets and no Westerners in sight.
For those that are still talking coaching, I did hear we are trying to get an ex-Geelong player on board..........

Out with it. Enright?
A bunch of them in the industry either currently or recently.
Kelly, Corey, Enright, Scarlett, Egan, Rooke, King, Johnson etc.
Interestingly, the name I heard is not on that list, although I know he currently has a media gig and a reasonably high profile..........
Anyone except Scarlet for me. I don't want that worm anywhere near the St Kilda Football Club.

He's a GWS board member so no chance.
Do they have any coaching experience?
Ling or Mooney the two that come to mind. Neither are overly appealing if it’s one of them but maybe I’m blinded by how irritating Ling is as a commentator.
To be honest i'd rather find an assistant that has had an unremarkable AFL career, but has been doing a good job in a coaching role.

What ex-St."Kilda players are we trying to get on board?
Its interesting , Bolton was a highly rated Assistant at a multi-premiership winning club, he failed as a senior coach, but then most do (especially at Carlton), and is now back at the Hawks in a prominent role.
Never played a game of AFL in his life.
We had the old generation coaches , Sheedy , Mathews, superstar players and successful coaches.
But most of the more successful modern day coaches seem to be more renowned for their Coaching than their prior AFL career.
Malthouse, Hardwick, Clarkson, Beveridge. Different skillsets.
We've also seen some failures of teams taking the opposite approach, Voss, Hird.
