Good coach and a decent bloke. Getting the sack 2 months after extending is just amateur hour

Did the best he could with the list available. Reckon their head recruiter should be getting the chop before him

This is Yze's opportunity but you never know with this Saints executive. Tough gig but someone has to do it. 

And if Yze does leave we could do worse that Ratten as senior assistant

Completely agree. His first gig as a coach was with our midfield and he did a great job.

 

Yze would be mad to take this job.  Expect to see St Kilda, Hawthorn and North prop up the ladder for the next few years

 

You'd think Robert Harvey would be their preferred choice to replace him.

If he lands de goey we keep him if not ensure we keep it quiet till after trade period so players don't walk out

Ratten was a good coach at Carlton who got nowhere because their recruiting was awful and their list just ran out of improvement.

I think he did ok at St Kilda but someone has to take the fall for their lack of list strategy apart from load up on players other teams didn’t want.

It probably wasn’t Ratten’s idea, but a coach has to give direction to their football department and if it’s the wrong direction they need to get out.

Its a shame for Brett because he’s 100-1 to get a 3rd shot at it but it’s hard to argue it was either sack him now or sack him in June.

Maybe the Saints will put Ratten on their rookie list?

If they can't find a coach, they can pop him back in the coaches chair.

You would have to think they have someone lined up for the job, unless the players have approached the board. Something does not sit right with this. 


What are odd that Brett ends up in the sacked coaches nursing home - fox footy

Could be worse - Footy Classified 

Joke of a club.

Footy classified is for sacked coaches with HR complaints made against them!

Bassat sounds like a tool of the highest order. Ditto Lethlean.

“I also want to address the issue of the extension of the contract.

“We gave Brett assurance at the start of 2022 that we would give him clarity mid-year. 

“At the time, the team was winning games and in contention, and we wanted to give Brett all the support he needed to give him the best chance of success and to show that he could be our long-term coach. 

“If we as a Club have regrets about that in hindsight, we cannot let those regrets get in the way of making the right decision for the future.
 
“The Football Review has affirmed that while we have made improvements, there is still a big gap between where we are and where we want to be, and that we have a lot more work to do right across the Club to create a culture that drives sustainable success. 

“We do not yet have the winning culture or ruthless commitment to football excellence that we need.

“Our Club is hungry for success, and we believe a different type of leader and a new voice is needed to take us on the next stage of the journey.


They'll some excited new rookies being picked by the saints next month, not...

Saints had their problem but it looks like the board had concerns but never raised them so Rotten could respond during the season.  he can get great efforts from the team and other times, nothing.  Is that a culture thing at the saints?  We have been through that late season collapse many times.

 

Is there an administrator more appalling than Simon Lethlean? Rhetorical. 

There was a point in time when Carlton (as a power house) used to send St Kilda all of it's off cut players. Now it's the AFL. Finnis and Lethlean. There's another but I can't think who it is.

Lethlean shouldn't even be in the industry imo let alone the new CEO. It's jobs for the boys big time over there.

 

 

Yse and Ratten can swap places if Adem gets appointed. Love to have him back as the midfield coach.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
