Opinion Who will be our next head coach?

[PoppedCorn]

Hey doc
Guess what?

I actually picked the one u used...and changed it to the dance one


Spooky

I think they've made the right choice.

Well until he loses a few on the trot next year and the knives come out.

At the beginning of the season if I'd been told we were getting Ratts as head coach I'd have been over the moon, thinking he was the best assistant coach out there.

After going 3-3 in 6 winable games I'm now a little bit apprehensive, but I'll trust the appointment and get excited for the future with a competent coach finally at the helm.

The fact is our team isn't good enough to go at much better than 50:50 right now.

I'm happy with the appointment of Ratts, think he will do a great job

 

[St Kilda Death]

Sack him.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Still exciting, even if it is something like the tenth time ive been here

Lol

 

[Gosaints12]

Who’s gonna create the sack Ratts thread?
Also I’m out now I know the outcome. PM me if anything changes.

Well done to the board was the best candidate and I think we made a good call.

Hard to judge him on the last couple of games when we were out of finals contention and winning wasn't in our best interests in terms of draft picks.

On top of that it was hard for him to change things much 3/4 of the way through the season, he needs a full pre-season to put his stamp on things.

Con Ratt ulations Brett.

 

[sauce_head]

Sack him.

Quite possibly the funniest thing I read all week!

Could we not afford blinds for the board room or do we want people to see in?

I know right

Remember ross going?
Was it nettlefield on the phone in the office pacing with the blinds up lol

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I would love to see Matt Finnis or Bassat come out to the media and troll them.
"Yea we went for Harvey in the end. Press conference tomorrow"

Club had this exact scenario in mind when he was appointed 12 months ago.

 

[saintsmania]

Brilliant to see proactiveness from the club which is normally not our forte..hopefully we see our elusive 2nd flag under Ratts..

happy with Ratts.. He's had a year in the system and knows what we need. Good luck to him.

Could be very interesting to see what goes on with list management now.

Not really. Ratten has had a fair day already.

He would be balls deep in all these decisions and conversations. I’m more interested in how quick his coaching group gets put together.

I think Brad Hills nomination happens in the next week now.

 

[stavro#4]

For what it’s worth. A certain ex saint came close.

But it was hard to go against Ratten. Experienced. Arguably the best training academy to learn in the last 5 years and the choice of the playing group. They believe in him.

Ratten just announced as coach of the saints, by Tom Browne. The Board has just accepted the coaching sub-committee's recommendation to appoint him. Contract details to follow. Another reason to be cheerful, methinks!

Great news...

 

[sammm]

including with the great man himself, that makes two of you

Harvey probably knew last week he didn't get the gig.

 

[lewdogs]

I would have been happy with Ratten or Harvey. So I'm very happy.

It was interesting in Ratten's final press conference that he said this will be a big trade period for us. Also looking forward to seeing who he gets on board as assistants.

Good luck to him. He has been through a lot personally in his life. He comes from good coaching pedigree and taken a side to finals already. Was a champion player too.
