fair comment from saintbeth (IMHO) I'm not sure just how I would react if I was approached to help fund the Milne legal defence. Even allowing for the presumption of innocence, I'd be reluctant to contribute. This has nothing to do with the Footy club, really it hasn't, although there are many who ...

5% of the top paid players' salaries should more than cover the legal bill. Where do they get this sense of entitlement? And the rest, what do you think a lawyer such as Philip Dunn QC costs. After the completion of this trial Milne will have paid at least 200% of his annual salary as a player. 5% ...

I'm just waiting to see if Caro goes ballistic on this one, including culture, lack of leadership etc etc. Let see if Caro judges a serious assault resulting in a broken jaw as more serious than a practical joke on a dwarf? Brown may serve time for this if charged.

Can someone tell me who funds ASADA?

Good riddance you dim witted, manifestly incompetent fool. This is worth an expensive bottle of champagne, thank god!

As for the academy, what about Stan Alves?

There's an idea.

Could you imagine the embarrassment to the OPI & Vic Pol if the matter was thrown out at Committal? When the complainant (under oath) said Milney did this and that, it unfortunately, ensured that it would go to trial, as the defence would hold its fire on cross examination for the trial (it woul...

there is an update in Sun today about the events leading up to that night and what happened on the night.. I am a Milne fan obviously but I'm also a 23 year old female so can relate to her as well. I honestly believe it was a misunderstanding but I'm confused as well. If she thought it was joey why...

I feel Watters probably told a few bigger name players that they were overrated, and wouldn't be part if his plans. No doubt in my mind that just like the Saints of old, too many at the club didn't want to hear the truth and of course the tail wags the dog at St K, so Watters got the flick. No doub...

If it played a role in Lenny's decision to go around again, then I'm all for it. Still think harves retired a year early - could have managed him through the season and had him firing fit and keen for the final. would've been nice to see him break 400 games as well. ...and I think we would have gra...

Thank god it's crap, although Richardson's credentials are good, Choco is the man for the job.

That was set up by Butters, for instance he hired Lyon.

It should serve as a reminder of what it takes to get to a GF and get a Premiership opportunity.

...and forget about copying Melbourne's nonsensical succession folly and it will be a tremendous folly, as it was at Collingwood.

Wake up naysayers, Choco is the man for the job. He came to Collingwood because he (as a South Australian) wanted to captain a Victorian club to a Premiership, which he never achieved. I'm sure he'd salivate at the chance to coach a Victorian club to a Premiership, particularly a club's first Premie...

Why all the love for Williams? He was an arrogant pr1ck at Port. What has he done since? Anyway Pelchen obviously now runs the club. I assume he has already hand picked the next coach. Premiership Coaches in their second gig tend to be exceptional. This has occurred on numerous occasions, see Allan...

Although it now appears Watters dismissal was quite justified, I do feel for him and wish him luck in the future. However, I'm happy to say good riddance to the bumbling Nettlefold. Thank god he's gone.

I remember at the time thinking it was a bizarre selection, Saad simply had not earned a place in the team on merit at the time, aside from the ASADA matter.

That would actually be great. By the way you misspelt Butters.

Mark Williams

A Premiership Coach at his second club is generally very successful.

If we are still at the 'appoint club champ player who the fans love' stage we truly are a joke.

Spot on. It's got to be Mark Williams. Don't stuff this up Saints.

Well, well, well after the condemnation of Mark Fine for disloyalty, we now have posters spitting the dummy and saying they are going to tear up their membership. Nice! By the way the new coach has got to be Mark Williams and I'd be delighted with that.
