No Oppo Supporters St.Kilda sack Brett Ratten

[Ephemeral Hope]

Muzz for next head coach IMO

Reads the play well. Not a saints fan but clearly passionate imagine the sprays

 

[CaptainRisky]

Even that would be doubtful.
You don’t make a decision for sacking a coach off a petty reason.

Fine , I just made it all up for fun , Now do you feel better ?

FFS , its not my words , I'm just saying what was told

Sounds like your place mate. I bet the salads and expresso Martinis are going down a treat.

With Ratts out the door who is going to make sure the lads have tough, honest conversations??

Why? Not us!

I didn't actually hear him but I read everyone taking the piss out of me. I'm loose but not that loose. Muzz has left an impression on us all.

TWOMEY: Why sacked Ratten is right to feel let down by Saints

Former St Kilda coach Brett Ratten - and St Kilda members - are justified in feeling bewildered by the club's brutal call, writes Cal Twomey

I've always felt Ratts was just too nice a bloke, wouldn't make the hard decisions because he didn't wanna offend anyone.

Some players need a kick up the ass to get the most out of them and some need a cuddle. I think Ratts was just a cuddle type coach.

He wasnt “too nice”

He actually struggled with maintaining relationships.

A few players have commented on him hating/not liking them initially - Sinclair being one

The drongo that called King and Cornes saying we should get kicked out of the comp... lollll my word. So what should have happened to Essendon after the drugs saga?

If you are talking about the Brendan Lade line the idiot has edited the article.

 

[gringo2011]

Yeah I really don’t like the recent attitude that you see so much of in society these days of “they made a mistake, they must be fired”

Loved Collingwood’s attitude this year which was basically the exact opposite.

They welcomed mistakes as they wanted everyone to take the game on

Having this “mistakes must be punished” attitude disincentivises risk taking and dare.

I think there's a balance. Keeping dead wood who make constant poor decisions is no good and sacking people after a couple of missteps is no good either. Getting your appointments right the first time takes care of most of it.

Cal Twomey is the salt scum of the earth.

 

[StCicatriz]

Hahahaha this *en club

Never ceases to amaze. Good time to look for a coach you know not many others looking for one

And this is a big issue I have with this whole thing.

Ratten should never have been extended. But making the move this late puts us on the back foot. Makes us look unstable. We are going in for like 4th in line pickings.

 

[crasha301]

I may be different from a few here in my view but I don't want us going after Buckley or Lyon or a majority of the experienced AFL coaches.

Leppitsch would be my only exception.

Look at how Collingwood was playing last year under Buckley with essentially the same list. They literally couldn't score, it was terrible to watch.

Going for someone who's experienced and a known quantity rules us out of finding the next great coach IMO.

No doubt Buckley made some mistakes but he actually seems like the type to learn from them and self reflect.

And 2 + 3 years earlier they were a bees dick from winning a granny and should have made a second

Yeah, but he didn't and those seasons were exceptions to the rule.

He only had two good years 2018 and 2019 in my opinion.

He took over a young premiership team with serious untapped potential and then proceeded to go progressively go backwards every year until 2018

Hm wonder what Roosey is doing

Just saw on instagram yesterday that his kids enrolled in school in Texas so it feels unlikely

I realise that, not shooting the messenger.

But sacking for a petty reason? Seems ridiculous, that’s all, but if it’s coming from a friend of Ratts is likely that’s something they would say in support of him. I guess it will all come out eventually.

It’s the strength of your leadership that allows people to prosper.

I’ve been watching old Ross interviews.

He mentioned that at st Kilda. We needed our list to be empowered. So he allowed players to miss a session to do things with wives partners family etc.

Because he knew when he asked. They would work harder in return.

At Freo, there was none of that. They needed standards. Apparently they had shit like a coach and captain specified car park spots

So he binned it and started parking wherever he felt like as he was earlier then most in.

Max said he was tired of flying against 15 guys

5 of them his own team mates going for the same ball

 

[StCicatriz]

He had the same coaching deficiencies with us that he had with the Blues…

Inertia is the face of adversity and no Plan B.

Not sure you can fix that.

And we have to get this bloke involved at the club somehow

 

[stavro#4]

He took over a young premiership team with serious untapped potential and then proceeded to go progressively go backwards every year until 2018

They effectively rebuilt. He traded out and retired a significant core of that flag list.
