Re: Changes:
Bring it on please. 
Inept and uninspiring Richo should have been sent marching by mid-season if our novice CEO had not stupidly signed him up for so long, without basis or logic! The club desperately needs a new start, renewed hope and right now, Richo, is the club's biggest liability going forward. He has sent the list backwards in a huge way and dare I say, more than any other coach in my lifetime. He is a complete dud and lacks all attributes necessary to be a leader/mentor for our players.

Re: Changes soon to Board?
Summers is a major obstacle to change. As soon as he is gone the real work can begin.
Summers and Wasteaway both just sat back and waited for success.
We need people on the board who have a hunger to chase success and to be ruthless about it.
We need like minds on the board who can pull together. It is a team approach that is needed and not just any one person.

What Watts?
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Well was speculation. But CH7 has now reported Summers will stand down.
Thompson flagged his departure not long ago.
Roo is my speculation.

Summers, Finnis and Richo are destroying our club and these 3 need to go ASAP.saintsRrising wrote: ↑Thu 16 Aug 2018 7:46pm Summers is a major obstacle to change. As soon as he is gone the real work can begin.

Re: Changes soon to Board. Summers announced to go. Who else?
Only guessing, but I would think that they will want on ex-player on the board after dispatching those that are there now, and Roo is about the most driven ex-Saint that I know.
While some are backing Bassat, I hope that common sense will prevail and they go for Jim Watts as he has a lot more experience of what is required whereas Bassat has been part of an under-performing club board.
If Bassat wants to be President: he is young and can be Watt's understudy learning what to do and take over in 3-6 years time.

How about we get Jack.
You know we need another Jack.
He grew in our neck of the woods.
And he was a number one draft pick.
He even makes our super star Pudding look pathetic.
Better than Fergus and dad, he could even play a few games.

Owns a 20 odd million dollar multi national marketing company. Played for us. Is he a passionate Saints supporter like his old man?

Ahhh no. It's Jim Watts - his Father. Ex-St Kilda CEO (pre-Waldron), long time AFL employee and very much the AFL-endorsed candidate to succeed Peter Summers.saintspremiers wrote: ↑Thu 16 Aug 2018 10:57pm

Re: Changes soon to Board. Summers announced to go. Who else?
Well looks like Roo is an in.
I like this as Roo is extremely driven and ultra competitive.Rumoured that Brandon Chizik, Managing Director- RSEA Safety, is also on.
Hopefully a few more changes yet including Watts.
