Thanks for the good work.

Should not have let Lyon go. Should not have had the slightest opportunity. Biggest FAIL of his tenure.

He'd bring his own issues from his time at "Swimming Australia" so no is the answer.

I reckon Nettlefold got pushed out. A timely way to keep it low profile was to announce it prior to the Grand Final

Yes but unfortunately he carries some baggage from his last role that the afl media mafia will drag up and somehow it will be another negative St kilda culture article.

Worked hard for the club. SHould be thanked for the effort - may not have hit every ball to the boundary but a decent effort.

Watch the Saints make a play for a strong strong STRONG candidate.

Change is here.

So much conspiracy.

The bloke is worth a packet, has worked his arse off for the club when he had no need to. Yes he's been well rewarded, but so is every CEO in the competition.

He's done 5 years. That's about as much as you actually want from any CEO - and make no mistake, Nettlefold has been great. His one blemish is the Lyon situation. Otherwise I think he's been great for the club. Anyone who has dealt with him behind the scenes should acknowledge that.

Let's hope we find a good replacement.

Terry Dillon we poached from the Hawks as Nettlefold's 2IC. Might get a promotion.

Have a look at Terry's record and you will understand that we have good people at this club. And why people like Finey are just full of it.

With all due respect if we hired his brother it would be a joke.

Of course he was pushed. And rightly so.

Don't shut the door.

Don't know much more but heads were butted during his attempted recruitment.

The stkilda football club are going all out to bolster their list, some thought the dusty direction was the way to go others thought not!
The right decision has been made and the character of a person is the top criteria in the direction of the club.

Maybe Dillon works better as COO though.

Business Net Asset position grew from $5m to $21m during this term.
Turnover grew from $26m to $41m during the 6 year term.
:shock:

I know nothing about Terry Dillon, but if he could oversee this sorta' thing again (happened during the six years he was with the skid marks), then I'd say "Come on down Terry." 8-)

Nailed it (again) K. :idea:

I believe our club actually has a huge fan base, and based on that alone, we should be a league power!!!



Sooooo, K, how's your little man going? A bit older, and hence more independent nowadays?

Maybe you have a bit more time on your hands...?

(That's actually a serious question/suggestion re ST K FC getting in someone to address the 'channelling' shortcomings re club and supporter base.) :idea:

Not keeping Ross Lyon is a fairly strong blemish

Ok so looks likely Dillon will be CEO. Happy with that.
