Another Coach Bites the Dust

Thank God, thought it was coming next week when we would have to play them on the rebound

[The Stigga 1,082]

Sign the man up as an assistant ASAP

 

 

[640MD 3,327]

I think give him a weeks break to get over it all !!

[Wiseblood 24,637]

It was always going to happen.  Saints have basically gone nowhere in his time at the helm.  You can only put up with that for so long.

[praha 11,131]

Goodwin won't get as long. Richardson has had to battle horrid injury lists and just broadly poor form. But this was always going to happen.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He didn't have much of a list to work with.

[Lucifers Hero 38,985]

Good on him for jumping before he was pushed. 

He has been in no-win situation almost since the beginning.  Poor management above him, poor assistants around him.  Terrible list management decisions (McEvoy, Goddard, Del Santo, Reiwoldt, Montagna) and squandering of numerous draft picks. 

Now has a GM Football who pays his mate squillions to leave Sydney and is detrimental to the Saint's culture and can't get on the field.  Hannebury is Carlisle Mark 11.

As a senior coach one fault was his very deadpan manner when speaking publicly.  Good for stability and consistency but not good for enthusiasm, energy and hope.

Goodwin will be next if he can’t get his [censored] together...

[Lucifers Hero 38,985]

I would expect Ratten to step in for the next 6 games.

It seems the President, Andrew Bassett will take a lead role in appointing the new coach which is somewhat unusual.  The chat seems to be that is because Lethlean is plugging for another mate, Brad Scott to get the gig.

If Ratten gets the interim role but not the gig for next year there is a fair chance he will also be on the market.  While unlikely, would love him back at the Dees.

I rate Ratten. 

But the Aints have always been a weird mob..really. You could make a movie

2016 Won 12 Lost 10 Finished 9th

If Port or Adelaide don't make finals this year I could see Hinkley and Pyke not being in their jobs by the end of this year. I would have thought Goodwin is safe for another 12 months (and, obviously, longer if performances improve).

If Goodwin doesn't lift i would be keeping Ratts in mind for the Job no doubt.

Was midfield coach at the Dees under Danners.

[Nelo 813]

Looks like Goodwin will be favourite to be sacked next year.

Yes. That is possible, but they are doing a lot better than Goodwin. 

We will likely be 17th by next weekend after we play Meth Coke in the desert. 

If we are out of contention by QB next year Goodwin should not see out the year. 

The effort of the players is there 100% but the basic skills of this team are truly deplorable. 

Why does our midfield not run both ways and shepherd team mates with the ball?

basic fundamentals 

Goodwin is in his 3rd year....

You can guarantee Saints will win this week

Wonder if Robert Harvey puts his hand up again for the senior gig.

If he wants a senior job ever this is the one, he won't get it elsewhere.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,071]

Have to say I liked Richo.  A genuine no bullshite type of bloke.

Harvey is currently  at a functional club, well resourced with an outlook of success.

Why would he be keen to go to an essentially  dysfunctional  one, with half the toys and assets , run by people that make Porpoise Point look normal !!

I get he's  the prodigal  son and all...but he'd  be mad imho
