I thought the club basically falling in a heap a couple of years after finals, being down near the bottom of the ladder and having no major sponsor of any note, with a headquarters out in the boondocks was just one of those things St Kilda has been lumped with..but now I know we have one of the best boards and President at the helm driving the whole juggernaut I feel much more at ease. Speaking of Costa at Geelong, from my days down that way a while back, he used to have a pretty big public presence, and like the boofhead in charge at Collingwood, he is passionate, pushes everyone hard to succeed and is not afraid to speak his mind publicly.Legendary wrote:Being a good President is not about being "flashy" or "strong" or "controversial" in the media.
Yes it works for Eddie. Exceptional circumstances.
But this was not Frank Costa's style and he was brilliant for Geelong. Nor was it Richard Colless' style and he has been brilliant for the Swans. Nor was it Ian Dicker's style and he was brilliant for Hawthorn. And nor is it Gary March's style and he has turned Richmond around completely.
We have probably the 2nd or 3rd most outstanding board in the AFL.
There are 3 excellent candidates from the current board and any of them will do an excellent job.
If you want high profile and media performer, Jack Rush would fit the bill nicely. But I am not sure this is the right criteria to select someone.

Also, you'd hope for the sanity of the people making the decision of appointing him as Prez that they would have previously been smoking some good stuff.widereceiver wrote:Gudinski would only be suitable if they don't introduce drug testing on football clubs' administrators!
Yeah, he has no sporting franchise experience. Let's get Dubya. He once ran the Texas RangersDr Spaceman wrote:Avoid Bill Clinton at all costs!
