You have no real basis to make that judgment.

None whatsoever.

Just following up Gareth on why you seem to think we should poach Mark Neeld, if you don't agree with my opinion of our current assistants.

Cheers.

    I hope Royal was only placed on a 1 year contract so he can be shown the door after an outburst like last weekend.

    Bad news. Some person at the club thought it would be a brilliant idea to sign him for 3 years. Im blaming Schwab as CEO I remember reading that West is out of contract and it said in the same article that Royal was signed for 3. So after this season we have him for another 2 years.

    If Richmond need that as motivation then thats pretty sad. I dont agree with him saying we were certanties to win but saying your confident, well there is nothing wrong with that. I mean he isnt going to say no on our form im not to confident.

    Follow up all you like.

    Obviously not sharp enough to see the distinction between rating one coach based on experts' opinions, and writing off another coach on little or no evidence.

    Congratulations.

    He isnt and its a massive overreaction. The game was lost on other factors.

    I am not sure supporters can rationally judge whether assistant coaches are actually doing their job well or not or even whether Royal is or isnt doing a good job. At the time we were recruiting an assistant coach it is not unusual that he be offered reasonable security of tenure. And 12 months definitely isnt that

    Also stands to reason that his contract would contain get-out clauses for both parties, possibly related to a change of head coach.

    Outragious - saw Lenny Hayes on The Footy Show last night - said the Saints will win - Sack Him !!! :mad:

    it was a shocking comment, he was so adamanent in his comments.

    Its one thing to outwardly say 'We'll win' and its another to say ' I think We can do the job today'...WTF

    Can someone please explain to me why Royal's comment was so, so dreadful? I'm yet to read anything in this thread that makes me think anything other than WGAF.

    Damien Hardwick mentioned that Royal was on SEN a few days before the game and said that it was a "certainty" the Dees would beat the Tigers.

    Richmond used it as ammunition against us.

    Silly thing to say on a public forum by Royal.

    Forget about him, we got rid of the guy a few years ago then we get him back! Don`t know who`s more stupid him or the club!

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
