Think Big
Why is it that everyone seems to be going with the "who's the next best coach down from Lyon" mentality.
Why is this not seen as an opportunity to take the next step up. The committee and Board should get on their bikes and be out there upping the ante. Ross took us up one or two notches now lets go all the way.
Why not punt for a coaching panel that looks like this
Coach - Scott Watters
Senior assistant - Rodney Eade
Assistant - Leon Cameron
We adopted a growth mentality by heading towards the peninsula to build our supporter base and develop our sponsorship to a higher level - well good now go and do it or step aside while someone else does.
We need to develop a heavy weight mentality not skulk around like 2nd best.

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Hear hear.
Letd get something really good. 5 years ago lyon was just an unknown assistant to his ex team mate who happened to be paul roos.
Now people think he is something special just because he got lucky with an opportunity to coach a great group.
Let's not skulk. Let's get a really good team together like the one mentioned above.
Watters
Eade
Cameron
Milburne
Looks pretty good to me

Re: Think Big
Why would Leon Cameron come to us if Watters gets the job ahead of him assuming that he applies? Why would he come to us anyway if the Hawks are a cert for top 4 contenders while we are probably heading down?PJ wrote:Why is it that everyone seems to be going with the "who's the next best coach down from Lyon" mentality.

Some strange ideas on this site tonight.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
That can't be what the board become fixed on - if there's not enough then they need to find it - they need better sponsorship.ShakenNotStirred wrote:Costs $$$$$ don't forget. How much have we got to splash around?
Their focus must be on the best not the left overs.

Re: Think Big
Because he needs to be convinced that we are not on the way down - if we followed the direction of your post then no one would want to come to St.Kilda. Why come to to a second rate bottom team. Where were Hawthorn 2 years ago?SaintPav wrote:Why would Leon Cameron come to us if Watters gets the job ahead of him assuming that he applies?

Agree "saving" is exactly what we shouldn't be thinking. Dare to be the best or accept being an also ran.Junction Oval wrote:There are no Malthouses left in the mix who can demand what they want, so we should be able to make a competitve offer. It's more a matter of getting the right person, than worrying about how much we can "save."
