According to Mark Robinsion His paper didn't peruse it because it was garbage re Finances.

New president just said CEO was absolutely not pushed.

Which players want out?

sounds like ch7 has Mark Fines source spreading rumours[/quote]

This guy is the dregs of media in sport. He was rubbish during the Essendon saga and is only good for castin aspersions.

Would believe anything he says.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

Could the Fisher thing be related to the concerns that were quickly quietened last preseason?
Quite probably. ...

This thread or rather the initiator of this thread seems to have unleashed a bit of an emotional spray gun.

What is the source of the claims?


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

Not sure...

Seems unimportant.

Lots of people say "I know what it is" but they don't elaborate

I know what's happening but I"m not sayin'. It's big and huge and dangerous. Well not dangerous but it's so massive I can't say what it is though.

Okay then, I read something on big footy which has made me think that I should jump to wild conclusions. Someone said they traded Riewoldt on their x box game. That's good enough for me. The club is going to burn down Seaford and use the insurance money to build Moorabin it obvious really.

Damn I forgot the PM and let it out in public.

Finances aren't great. 3 senior players are trade bait. 2 assistant coaches will go. Scott will be there till the end of 2016. We've been through worse.

Someone needs to come on board who can channel the unrealised potential that is the Saints supporting public.




What makes you say we have great support? I don't have any numbers but history would suggest we don't have a lot of public support compared to other clubs....
They are out there, no doubt

We're you there the final game?

Dead rubber game and the passion was overflowing.

The fans there were with passion - but how is that any measure of numbers for across the competition?

I'm not questioning passion, just pure numbers. All clubs have a great proportion of fanaticals, fair weathers and others, the relatively size of this is the difference.

Some clubs have a low base, history would suggest we are one of those clubs.

Tony your record isnt great. i take it you go to training a lot and hear rumours. i doubt you work for the club because there is no way you would be on here if that was the case. 3 senior players as trade bait. i would hope there is 10. The worst part of the post is i think you are right. SW will get 2 more years even though he has one to go. I dont that at all even though you say he is good. i say I have heard many rumours about him and all aint the best.

You say his record ain't great, I can't recall bs.
Maybe your rumours on sw match fineys...
Without signing sw it gives oxygen to dissent in our ranks, players need to learn to sacrifice and build team unity.

Maybe my rumours are the same as Fineys. i have no idea who finey knows at the club but he did tell me once that he had no direct contacts at the club. My rumours are fairly solid. maybe the people who told me lied. i dont know. I just listen. And I never said Tony BS. matter of fact im fairly certain he doesnt but im also sure he just hears stuff at training. Some may happen and some may not. And again the SW is my opinion only. As he has a year to run on his contract there wouldnt have even been talk about him coaching but there is talk now because he and his management made it an issue. How would the club look now if we dont sign him. Backed into a corner than we shouldnt have been. IMO we should have waited but they arent going to by the looks of it.

The club can make an excellent start to our next stage of development by signing Watters for a contract extension on Monday and clearing up who is coming and going- be upfront and honest, otherwise we will really look like a leaderless rabble.
