No Oppo Supporters St.Kilda sack Brett Ratten

[Munga]

The dilemma Purple now finds himself in is hilarious.
His no.1 love - RTB
His no.1 hate - StK F.C.

I can just imagine him lying in bed looking at his Ross Freo poster on his bedroom wall.
One hand under the doona working overtime.
The other hand punching himself in the head.

Cue Dr.Spaceman...

I don't actually know, why's he called Purple? Because he's a dickhead?

 

[UnfinishedBusiness]

I guess Hunter must not have looked at his phone before heading out

 

[Hubnester]

Good to see you are doing well mate! (You posting suggests you are, lol)

Don't have much choice mate haha. Haven't been able to get home yet, and no idea what will be there when I get back. This thread keeping me going

That’s an absolutely phenomenal shot of the Bay and someone’s legs.

Yes, short for purple headed warrior

I don't buy into the players will be sh*tting themselves at the thought of RTB thing.

This team hasn't had a good coach since 2011. Guys like Billings have never had a good coach at afl level.

I'm excited for the playing group.

It must have been frustrating as hell playing under Ratts and Richo.

 

[Grav]

Must admit it makes me laugh when certain media types like Cornes & Purple allude that the game has evolved since Lyon last coached & yet their jobs are still relevant because they have kept up with the times.
Surprise, surprise you f#@%ing morons, Ross Lyon was in the media too.

Shitting themselves because of RTB? No

Shitting themselves because they will be in an elite environment - where pushing yourself to be the best footballer you can be matters? Yeah, some will.

Wont surprise me to see 1-2 foot soldiers get the nod over more talented players.

 

[hayes]

How far into Ross’ press conference will we hear “unfinished business”? If the over/under is two minutes I’m going under.

 

[gringo2011]

Has Ross mended his relationship with Gerard Whately..? He smashed us on Monday morning calling us desperate. Usually much more considered and reserved but I think they have beef.

Whatley has never rated us. He loves giving us a kick, he's a snarky little egotist. He's the most overrated commentator and caller in sport. Got stuck at the ABC because he wasn't very good and then was there so long the commercial networks assumed he had credibility. Now he thinks he's Dennis Commetti.

Yeah completely agree, extremely overrated

 

[gringo2011]

Pay no attention to it. We all know exactly what you meant and for those of us that still aren't head over heels for Ross, we completely agree with you.

I'm enjoying being on the side of popular opinion. You people are campaigners for thinking differently. Am I doing it right?

You are hoping for Ross to do a Malthouse as the Ratts replacement because you want to have bragging rights.

This is fun. Say something else that I can shit on you for.

 

[Stickman90]

So has a presser been announced yet?

[gringo2011]

God might exist but he's never going to help you and people are intrinsically selfish, perhaps even evil.

Are you saying that the footy gods are finally going to shine their light on us? Is Ross the messiah?

Woke up in a bad mood? You spent the last 12 months shitting on the club so no wonder people had had enough of you lol.

Said many times if they go with Ross and no succession plan I will back him in but it's not what I wanted. I'd be an idiot to hope my opinion is right over wanting success.

Go have a pink gin spritz and lie down.

The holier than thou sanctimonious ramblings he partook on the schoolboy issue made me sick. Especially when it was revealed it was all lies, not once has their been an apology.
He thinks he is so profound when all his career has been watching people play games or horses run around in circles.

People were bagging Andy Maher, give me him over Whately any day of the week. His straight man on The Front Bar is a very difficult and very well done role.

Anyone know how long it takes to create the illusion of due diligence?

who was the the list manager . was it Lyon? becuase i don't want to go down that train again.

 

[sammm]

My other half has already agreed the hypothetical first born son will be named Jack as a tribute to the saints

might be better to wait for the mythical son when the saints win a premiership.

Can’t imagine it will be much longer.

A number of our board where involved in yesterdays meeting

 

[sammm]

His structures haven’t varied greatly across 3 different grand final sides.

That’s the point.

I highly doubt he will vary greatly now.

You might believe the game is super different. I don’t believe it is.

I think we will see something very similar to those structures.

yes, he hadn't his style much at all in the many years he coached. dour defensive.

at Freo he should have changed. 4-5 grand finals and couldn't win one.

 

[sammm]

That always bugged me.

Goose was named for game 100 but I think he failed the pre game warm up. Left him on 99 games.

If his kids turn out to be top 5 draftee superstars...

It bugged me to, they could have left him on the bench or something.

Couldn’t agree more gets on his high horse about everything except for horse racing or which he conveniently lets go by the wasteside.
