Roast The Chronicles of Alan Richardson - Part II - Richo Resigns (16/07)

[Mowman]

I knew it would get some kind of comment. I am human after all. I try and be as reasonable/democratic as I can and I gave us a pass for last year and I gave us a pass for last week but this honestly would turn anyone's stomach. I am tired and hurt watching the same **** every week. We haven't kicked 100 points in a game in almost a year. 17 to half time. Against a side sitting 17th with 8 straight loses. F*ck him off.

Nothing wrong with that at all mate
Some of us just got to this point a lot earlier

I try and give them the benefit of the doubt and I guess I'm biased knowing people who work there.

But also I am realistic and would never defend the club blindly.

Absolutely hopeless today and everyone should be ashamed of this.

 

[Sir Skid]

Win or lose I am just gutted watching this rubbish.
There is no level of skill or gameplan that resembles anything the standard needed for AFL.

Just get rid of Richo FFS. NOW!

 

[Mowman]

Just fly off with all the other pigeons Richo

That’s an entertaining couple of pages.

 

[St Neil]

He’s safe for another few weeks. Close wins against Gold Coast have saved his meal ticket.

Reality is we are 6-6. Nothing will happen yet.

 

[Crusty Undies]

Genuine question being if when Richo goes who would you like as the next head coach for your mob ?

I reckon my dog could randomly move around the names on a whiteboard and make a more coherent structure so really anyone.

 

[VDS66]

That’s an entertaining couple of pages.

Indeed.

A fair bit of premature extrapolation.

LMAO.

 

[sunny3193]

And for those critical of Richo, watch his message to supporters.
Pay particular reference to his big shout out to Brandon White.

It's very St Kilda to pull the win out of their ass when we looked so pathetic all day. 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards.

I hate to be negative about a win. I want a win at all costs attitude, but I can't help but wonder what the team would look like today, if we hadn't beaten Gold Coast last year. Would Richo have been sacked back then? If we lost today, would he be sacked on Monday?

People point to the injury list, but the guys that are letting us down each week are still best 22 even when we get a full strength team on the park. It's really interesting to see Parker and Hind play great games in their first games for the club, but the guys that have been there for 2 - 3 years + play uninspired football.

Ultimately, the head coach is responsible for the teams performance and attitude. I think the teams attitude is very poor, they just don't look overly interested in having a real crack. Lots of lazy players going through the motions collecting their weekly paycheck. Who is standing up right now? That is a failure of the coach, too. He should be creating and inspiring leaders.
Who has stood up in the last 3 years? No one.

Sack Richo

Noted; good call

But still...

You know what. It's about ****ing time he said or did anything positive about Brandon White and one shoutout in a post game message before he probably gets dropped next week anyway doesn't make up for it.

Richo can still G A G F.

Well said

 

[Sir Skid]

Well said

+1 GAGFR!

 

[The Boar]

We don't have the stones to do it

It doesn't matter about the result today anymore. Win or loss. And the club should feel the same way. Players need a change.

I do not know one saints fan who thinks he should still be there.

 

[Diehard Saint]

I do not know one saints fan who thinks he should still be there.

So here’s the conundrum...

I want to win as many games as possible. But if that happens will they still have the balls to move him on?

I don’t like the idea of barracking for a loss just to make it easier to sack him.

 

[Sir Skid]

I do not know one saints fan who thinks he should still be there.

Likewise.
But I bet like most of us you know a few who won't engage while he's still coach.

What if we win more games in future as a result of losing games now? Surely we want to support the idea that will give us the most wins and I find it hard to believe that Richo leaving sooner rather than later won't lead to more wins one way or another.

 

[StCicatriz]

I know a few who are very worried about the direction of the club. Not good.

That’s brilliant

No guarantee of that and we land up with a demoralised list because they keep losing. Either way, I just cannot barrack for a loss, smacks of tanking to me.

The Richo situation will sort itself out because we all know it’s coming to an end.

Best case scenario we win 11/12 games but just miss out on finals...which with our percentage is a good possibility.

 

[StCicatriz]

Not a question of if richo gets sacked but when. Question is do you think the club will be in a position to appoint a coach to take us to finals?

 

[sunny3193]

Haters gonna hate.
Lovers gonna love.
I Richo.

Hopefully Basset & SL are up to making hard decisions
although I dont think its that hard of a decision to make
