So apparently St.Kilda are sacking Ratten .... WTF

 

[martinson]

It's taken Carlton 10 years and a fistful of dollars to recover since they sacked Ratts.

He's never been one to grease up to the glory seekers wherever he's been.

But the players love him. I'd be surprised if their review said otherwise.

 

[Jubair]

I wonder if there is a connection between their lack of action during the trade period vs this. It might have been stewing in the background.

He was probably gone when they didn't make the eight.

 

[nup]

Honestly they pinned so much on Hanneberry and Hill which was laughable, we've just gotten through Covid and yet further GC Suns concession years, and they sack this bloke. You know how you can get these guys into the game and make the clubs relevant? Stop changing the ****ing rules every year

 

[MacMum]

Ratten gone....in HUN now.

 

[McIvor]

Geoff Walsh must be behind it.

Did Nobel do some sort of external report for the Saints post season to ?

Golf day for the boys, check out the bodacious bus interior.

I'm 15 seconds in. Looks like one of my old stomping grounds Robina Woods. Used to be a mint course (well, aside from the first half of the back nine which was flat as a pancake).

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

A big year for delisting and retirement of former Lions - Cutler, Mayes, Skinner, Taylor, Walker, Martin. Not sure of any others.

My Uncle passed away last week, been a Lions member since the 40s. Roys coterie member and player sponsor. Whilst this would have taken somebody at the club 5 maybe 10 minutes to do. I know it would have meant the world to him. Dunno if Lions_Insider is still around, but a big thank you to the club

Sorry to hear about the passing mate, hope your doing okay with it all and remember to speak out on here or with family and friends in the real world, if your finding stuff too much to handle at times with everything in your life, as a result of the passing of your uncle last week

Saw I had a lot of notifications and thought I may have done something wrong! Anyway, Part 2 here we go.

Here is some real random stuff.... the football teams I played for:
Lions and Panthers in the YMCA Little League at South Barwon Common in Geelong.
Geelong College (very good player when I was younger, but ended up being in the 2nds only, being 18 at the time didn't help with game preparation)
When I was a uni student, University Blues (struggled) and Ormond College (captain of the 2nds) then Queens College (1sts team finally, while I was a tutor there). May be should have played for the Uni Reds and I would then be part of the Fitzroy family.
Didn't play when I lived in the USA (no footy then but did kick to kick with other Aussies at Arizona State when we could) and Brisbane (first time)
Singapore Wombats (when I joined BigFooty I was still playing but struggled after turning 40 and went to umpiring)

I still wish I could play and share the high and even the lows of those moments with mates.

nods - I saw 28 notifications and couldn't for the life of me think of anything I had posted recently that would have garnered such a response ... yep

 

[pOleK]

Hey all, looking to update the avatar. Does anyone have the photo of Dunkley and Gunston holding the Melbourne Cup (not a big racing man so don't know if it was that)? Can't seem to find it anywhere

Thank you

Saw today that Roar Deal got canned. Quite liked it although Dom Fay could get a bit gushy at times. Can’t imagine the player led ones are going to be very good. They said they might continue on their own but would be great to have some more options. I liked the Lions Supporters podcast from a couple of years ago

I really enjoyed the roar deal. I wonder if the club canned it so Dunkley could run our media empire?

Was there an official announcement? If so, what was the reasoning

Shame for Dom and Mike - they had mentioned a few times about them looking forward to recording episodes at the new podcast room at the Reserve.

 

[brizrider]

Mentioned at the end of the last episode with Dunkley. Club wants to do player podcasts. Not sure the reason

 

[MSB ROYS]

I am looking forward to a more editorially independent Roar Deal podcast, which I believe is likely to happen.
I agree Dom gets a bit gushy, but it's also great to hear from a very optimistic supporter. Best episodes were the two emergency podcasts are the finals wins this year. The whole Zac Bailey
