“Significant” coaching problems, no more selling home games: Saints release review findings
St Kilda has released the findings of its review which has seen widespread change throughout the club’s football department.
Since the report was commissioned, the Saints have appointed a new GM of football, a senior coach, two senior assistants, a development coach and a high-performance expert.
On Friday afternoon the Saints released a six-page document detailing the findings and recommendations going forward, with several already complete after the football department changes.
After a strong start to the season, St Kilda won just three games after the bye to miss out on finals action. The key finding states: “(St Kilda) did not have the platform needed to support a sustainable winning culture and that significant change was needed in the Football Department, and more broadly in the Club, to address concerns with the processes and fundamentals of our Football Program.”
The club acknowledged its quick start to the year but added “significant issues in relation to (the) coaching program” partly explained the inconsistency that has plagued the club for several years.
There have been suggestions that sacked coach Brett Ratten simply wasn’t afforded a list good enough to play finals or go deep into September. As a result of the review, the Saints will update its list strategy and continue looking to improve its top-end talent following a review by former North Melbourne list manager Glenn Luff.
Another key finding was the Saints needed to minimise the distractions on the football department. As a result, the club has chosen not to sell a home game in 2023 interstate.
St Kilda was heavily criticised during the season for selling a home game to Cairns in a game against Port Adelaide, a clash which the Saints ultimately lost against a terribly out-of-form side.
The review concludes by stating that more “revolutionary change” is required than what was originally thought.
Other notable details suggest the club needs clearer expectations both on and off the field as well as a culture that offers “vigorous” debate, something that the club under Ratten had been accused of lacking.
Simon Lethlean’s transition from head of football to CEO also left a larger than-anticipated hole in the club’s footy department this year.
Going forward, the key recommendation revolves around investing in the leadership and development of St Kilda players, with the club's best players all still under 30.
President Andrew Bassat, who initiated the review and played a part in it, said in a club statement: “In short, the Review found that we had much to do, and needed significant change to build these foundations. You will see from the staffing appointments already announced that we are moving aggressively to implement the Review’s findings.
“The Board and Management now have a very clear shared view of what needs to be done to ensure success and a firm resolve to deliver on it. I am now more optimistic than ever about the future of our Club.”Western Bulldogs Football Club "Where it's cool to drool"Comment

Re: LOL Aints
Lol Aints indeed
The report conveniently serves it up to Ratten. He gets the boot.
The report also raises issues with the List Management, which I believe has been the major cause of their problem, so Lethlean gets promoted to CEO.
They then get a guy who has overseen the list management at a club that finished with 2 wooden spoons and a 2nd last placing under his tenure to review their list.

Re: LOL Aints
Apart from Walsh , have any these people been worthy of merit being involved in this review come from any successful clubs ?
Luff has come from North
Lethalan has being given a cushy job to care take of saint kilda as his one of afl protect species and mate of ceo inner sanctum
If the AFL was not a monopoly you wonder if any of these people could get a job based on real skills ?
I have a feeling Ross the boss could witness more board and management upheaval in the e next 18 months , especially when they start losing 3 games in a row.
Now Lyon has his core group of ex-players from this 2xGF feats era, lets see how long the harmony last, before they fireworks start to fire some of the way the management of this club has been run.

Re: LOL Aints
It's a joke isn't it? They've conveniently sheeted home all the blame to the people they have already shafted so their review is that everything is just peachy keen. All those nasty incompetent people who have been holding us back are gone so there's no need to look any further.
It reminds me of that guy in Iraq who used to stand amongst the rubble dodging missiles assuring everyone that everything was just fine.They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment
