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.Jezza wrote: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.jack_spain wrote:We might have to add Scott Watters' name to this list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Yes
Scott has just been signed for 4 or 5 years. they can't afford to pay that out. bad call Caro.Hiss wrote:I predict the North bloke will got before the end of the season. Voss is a certainty to get booted. 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?
