Looking forward, we want to build really strong relationships with our supporter base, we want to make sure our links with the community are really strong and vibrant, and we want to make sure our media relations are really open and transparent," Watters said on Sunday.
"We want to be connected to the broader football industry and I think our players are looking forward to that opportunity.
"We want to be a part of the bigger picture so does the bubble exist anymore? Did it ever exist? It's not something that's in my train of thought going forward.

"But now that we do have a senior coach and the direction is clear I think everyone has pretty quickly shifted into a phase of excitement and what the next few years hold."
"It might have been tough for a little period there, just the uncertainty, but it was important that the club took their time and made the right decision and they've obviously done that."
Saints needed a change
11.46AM 16-10-2011
New St Kilda coach Scott Watters believes his players were ready for a change after five years under Ross Lyon.

Watters said the recurring theme from his brief contact with several Saints since his appointment late on Saturday is that they're looking forward to a new challenge.
"Already from conversations with players you can see in person's eye where the drive is, where the commitment is and where the motivation is," the 42-year-old said.
"I think this group may be ready for a change, not being disrespectful to what's gone before."
"But change does open up chances and opportunity for different players."
( God help me)
