The Saints board and supporters will know that Watters needs to rebuild the side, so I doubt he'll face the sack unless they performed really poorly to the standards of Melbourne and GWS for example. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Watters is doing fine i reckon. He has another season minimum. He has bugger all and all ageing stars, he is in full rebuild mode and can now give kosi the ass. _________________ Buon Giorno |

Watters has done fairly well with a tattered list. If he continues to introduce youth and can bring in some bigger bodies to support them, they will improve. _________________ Genesis 1:1 |

But Jezza, this is a club that sacked Malcolm Blight mid-season when they were doing better than St Kilda are now. Their culture never changes. Have a look at Saintsational. |

Lyon didn't leave a club on the rise - he knew the state of things and was not prepared to hang around for the leaner times. Same as Malthouse would never have gone to any club that wasn't big and rich. He used to play for St Kilda but coaching them would be beneath him. _________________ If you used to barrack for the 'Pies, you never barracked for the 'Pies. |

After this weekend you can only say that nothing has changed for Mark Neeld yet (although Peter Jackson the new CEO saying that no position is safe is not reassuring). A 60 point thrashing is not positive though.
But two more coaches are definitely up for the chop by season's end:
1. Michael Voss is odds on not to have his contract renewed.
2. After the way the Dogs are playing Brendon McCartney can start packing his bags.
The jury is out on how patient they are down at Moorabbin as well.
STOP PRESS: Since I typed this the Bulldogs are coming back against a typically weak West Coast who loves to get over-run in the second half. Perhaps Worsfold might be on the list as well. A certainty if the Weagles miss the finals I'd say.
PPS: No I underestimated how crap the Bulldogs really are. The Weagles bring Nic Nat on and go bang, bang, bang. Game over.

Neeld, Voss and Worsfold are my favoured candidates.
Eagles look very shaky and Worsfold has been there for a long time and the board might consider time for a change. They were widely predicted to be Top 2 by many so-called experts at season's start. Injuries a problem but last week's loss to Port, and the circumstances of it, was deplorable. _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |

Worsfold deserves to be given until the end of the Season. And I hope they give him the opportunity to coach to the end of the season if he wants to, regardless of how poorly they end up doing (they'll get better as their players return). _________________ "Life is too important to be taken seriously" ~ Oscar Wilde |

If gap between expectation and reality is any criteria, then Voss has to be on shaky ground if this continues.
Otherwise, I really think this will be a light year for coach culling, after last year's bumper harvest.
Watters is safe. And I think McC is fine, the bulldogs are frankly where they should be, they have no talls yet worth the name, their big bodied midfielders are all too old and on the slide, and so it was always going to be bad. If they were being honest with themselves, they knew this was coming. _________________ "Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. "

Now the Melbourne bloke will probably be asked to step down to avoid the embarrassment of them having to terminate another coach. I feel Adelaide may need to look elsewhere. The real joke is how the Fat Greek Colonel can seriously offer that whorehouse GWS team as a serious side. They reckon that they will improve. Ha ha! Does shit ever smell different as it ages? Scientific fact. Once shit always shit. It only decomposes. And that ain't a good omen for GWS. Sheedy is beyond description on this family website. Do they take coaches sacking bets on Waterhiss.com.au? |
Scott has just been signed for 4 or 5 years. they can't afford to pay that out. bad call Caro. _________________ One team, one dream - the Pies and this year's premiership |
