This story is now leading on the Age website, with photos. And of course the words "Saints", "Coach" and "Sacking" in the banner headline. Fantastic. I don't care what he did in the past. If Plympton really wants to atone he can make a significant financial contribution...

http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/saints-reassure-scott-watters-after-plymptons-sacking-joke-20131004-2uzgq.html Oh. Good grief. Thanks Andrew, but we really don't need your help anymore. Here's a handy hint for people once but no longer a president/board member/ceo/coach/player/bootstudder at our...

Watters and Pelchen may be having a barney over the list, but I just can't see how there is any objective evidence at all to support the idea that the Club would be even thinking of sacking the coach now. Apart from the fact that his EXISTING CONTRACT FOR NEXT YEAR hasn't yet been extended, what is ...

Its us. We are the club. All of us, from the scummiest idiot troll on Saintsational to Eric bloody Bana, without us this club would be University. Be proud of our club, and be proud of your part in it. Loved this line, Austinnn. It almost has bumper sticker appeal ... Great post. If more of the kno...

Mixed messages are being sent by the club. On one hand, there is a perception that all our seniors players are up for trade. Then Watters comes out and says to back off our players. Looks like a shambles and no wonder players are getting annoyed. I expect that is the public face of Patrick Smith's ...

Lets just get a good a CEO and get the off field improved and the on field will follow. We need a real stability and intelligence at president and CEO level. Most of all dont panic! BUT no more f*** ups! We cant afford anymore crap off field. +1. The new CEO is critical. I sincerely hope we can aff...

So, last month it was Dal (but now maybe not), last week it was Chips (again now, maybe not), yesterday it was Roo (but now definitely not), this morning it is Joey (according to Jon Pierik on the back page of this morning's Age). I'm starting to feel like we're caught in some perverse member/media ...

Scuttle that--@LukeHolmesby 1m "Nick Riewoldt will not be traded." - Chris Pelchen, St Kilda Head of Football. We've gone from the comms guy tweeting it to having to issue a full denial of a completely stupid rumour on the club website ... http://www.saints.com.au/news/2013-09-30/riewoldt...

YES!

And don't Dilly Dally

Maybe he's not Dilly Dallying after all.

Good on you Dal.

Thanks Saintbrat for stoking up the profile on this. Brilliant to have some good news this season!

Good on you Eastern, it is way easier to be negative in the hard times; it takes fortitude to stick fast and have some faith in a longer term plan. Love the "red" plan. And love Zed's chook sponsorship/missile combo deal! Round 23 showed the goodwill that subsists amongst Saints supporters...

Happy for Goo, that could be it for him. Was always sorry to lose him, but that's footy.

Is Sylvia a free agent ?

Unrestricted, apparently

Crameri looks like he's gone, but aren't they chasing Sylvia now?

Dal. Just say no!

Andrew Demetriou moving at an unprecedented pace ... And even pronouncing Joey's name correctly! What gives?

Ps thought mark and missy were fab. He's as old as the rest of us and he'll be a-ok for Saturday. Missy can hit the high notes in a pinch ...

Oh happy day.

No deal.

The Australian reports this morning that Dal and his management are meeting with the Bombers next week. Not sure that they can afford him and keep Crameri, but in any event, surely it is a joke? We couldn't seriously take any of their players with confidence, and how can they give us draft picks? Wh...

Trading Joey is surely not the answer at this stage. It would really have to be a ridiculous offer.

ROOS? (As in Paul!)

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/d ... 2tu2q.html

They must really have BUCKETS of cash at Melbourne. NO PRIORITY PICK!

The Hun reckons Mick is first in the queue (the Dusty and Daisy double), and we're very unlikely (exhale slowly with relief). Interesting analysis of who has the $ and draft picks to do the deal with Richmond ... here's hoping they spend up big ... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/which-clubs-a...

We can't possibly tell Armo and Chips not to holiday with the bloke and then recruit him.

Unless we're ditching Armo and Chips.

All of those options are bad.

I'm with Sainter K. No Deal! Ross can have him. Anyone else can have him.
