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

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.


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.

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.

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

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

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.

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....

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

It’s just too hard to be excellent....

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

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

One of the better bits of luck this year

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
