He talks sh!t and that's why he's good for radio.

I heard the same thing a few weeks back that he would be interested in the Wet Toast job if it became available so this rumour/news does not surprise and will probably please a few on hereSaintPav wrote:I really doubt it.BelfastSaint wrote:Rumour on BF (please note RUMOUR) re Scott Watters
In WA interviewing with Eagles.
St Kilda considering extending contract by 2 years, relationship not good with Pelchin and Nettlefold, if not extended by 2 years and West Coast offer contract will accept that.

Long story Con but in 2008 I sent an email to Finey about his attitude towards St Kilda which started a email and text exchange between us about the Saints.Con Gorozidis wrote:SaintPav wrote:Finey called me once.

I find people resort to these type defenses when they realise their "buddy" is really just a bit of a knob...
You admit you get sucked in by the media, that's a positive, you may be able to turn that around.
Maybe they could swap jobs.Majority wrote:There is a weekly show called The TV Freak
The TV Freak is Scott Goodings.
Scott has a wide knowledge of everything tv.
But Mark Fine constantly interrupts

There is so much going on at footy clubs these days .
They are complex businesses and social webs .
That's why the whole sack the coach thing annoys me because it is a super simplification
Melbourne sacked Bailey but really only now have they come to terms with the fact that they need a wholesale review of the whole place . That's why the afl stepped and they got in Peter Jackson and got rid of Cameron Schwabb.
It's also why fineys rant over semantics at a b and f are moronic.
The hawks don't respect their gf runners up.
They consider it a tragedy. Yet Finey wants brass statues and lifelong contracts for our runner up Heros.
Finey f*** off.
Well this former AFL player who still gets out and about..... reckons that the figure would be more like 80% of from each club would indulge in illicit substances at some time during the year. My mate who coaches with him in the top division of the local league, reckons the same amount of players at their club would probably do the same. Easier to recover from than alcohol and doesn't put the weight on are the common excuses.Con Gorozidis wrote:No doubt in my mind some players take this stuff .

it happened...been reported elsewhere....Moods wrote:I heard a disturbing story last night from a close mate (who is also a mad saints supporter) who is an assistant coach at a local footy club where the senior coach is a well connected former AFL player - and a bit of a lad in his playing days.
He claims to have it on good authority that young Dusty turned up to our Mad Monday, but wasn't planning on staying long. Just needed to drop 'something' off for a couple of boys (sadly one very high profile player in particular) who had been partying a bit too hard since the last game..... Dusty saw the media and got the hell out of there.
Ties in nicely as to why Watters wouldn't want him anywhere near the club.
never ever likely to either....gringo wrote:
People want simple answers these days. that's why saying stop the boats and crap can get you elected. We want instant gratification not hard work and anyone that can offer us a simplistic answer and blame someone else gets attention.
if I was to find a scape goat for why we aren't going so well it's the boat people, We were going well until they started arriving in huge numbers. They never buy memberships either.
Also, let's not forget that Demetriou admitted that "A Number" of players were "Stood Down" for varying periods in 2012 for illicit drug use !!Mr Magic wrote:It's why I'm so dismissive of the AFL's illicit drugs policy.Moods wrote: On another note.....From my mate - you shouldn't be surprised who uses rec drugs in the AFL world.

I don't believe for one second that their annual 'report card' of positive tests is reflective of the usage by AFL players.
I've heard too many stories of players 'out and about' after games to believe the 'fairy tale' that a miniscule number AFL players imbibe when society in general (in a similar age group) has a far greater percentage of usage.
And of course the fact that a player, so addicted that he required a number of stays in rehab, never tested positive under this 'world's best practice drug testing regime'
It has become my opinion that the AFL have instituted a drug testing program designed not to catch anyone and that those that do get caught are just simply morons.
Fine is a classic f**kwit, however, some luv him, but, those that aren't SEN lovers are sensible and realistic and take him for what he is, IMHFO..Con Gorozidis wrote:SaintPav wrote:Finey called me once.
