Are we fitting the person to the role, or the role to the person?? I'm pretty sure these specialist roles were never announced beforehand. I only hope we're not giving job for the boys.
Can't wait for the Academy Director role announcement, hopefully it's Ayres.
OFFICIAL: Hamill, Hudghton and Low appointed!

I'm tipping Aaron can instill a bit of mongrel and swagger into the forwards, not to mention work ethic when playing in the forward line.
In a recent interview he did, he said that people try to make footy complicated, but it really isn't.

Why does he need to have tactical nous when he is a part time assistant/mentor. He won't be in the coaches box having to make moves.skeptic wrote:The question on Hamil is whether he has tactical nous3rd generation saint wrote:For the young players, and some of the older ones who will be playing in our forward line I couldn't think of a better mentor than Hammil.
Expect some pressure and fierce tackling in our forward half next year.
Hey, expect to actually have a forward line next year that scores.
Have always regarded him as a super player, hardworking and a great leader by example and attitude... never saw anything to suggest he was a clever tactician type
That's not to say I've seen anything to suggest otherwise
Either way... am very glad to have him on board... around the 2004 era was when our culture was looking a lot stronger and I'm glad we've got some of these leaders back that helped turn the club around.
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.
None of these appointments mean a thing in the off season, it is the season and results that count
BUT.......
The club is doing everything it possibly can to put out the right perception during this offseasin.
2 months back I was very pessimistic. Since then the club and the admin has done everything right off field. The appointment of Watter seems a very positive move and his initiatives such as the yoof academy and bringing an experience ex coach like Laidley shows he has plans but also conceeds he doesn't think he knows everything.
The more open attitude toward the media makes t seem like the Saints have a positive headline every second day.
The management of the SC was as good as it could be and losing only Lynch, Walsh and Dawson is about is good as we could hope for in the circumstances.
Now with these appointments we have ex players and Saints people who add to the positive good news story coming out of Seaford.
In previous times the club would have imploded with the dramatic loss of a coach after a shocking off season and two MAJOR dissapointments. Add to that the percieved poor tratment of Robert Harvey. We would have lost players for sure and the place would be in turmoil.
Kudo's to both the Butters admin and the curent admin for keeping the culture strong and building on this strength.
yes I am the eternal optimist, but I feel that so far this is the absolute best outcome for the club after the Lyon era. A fairly stable list with some exciting pace y players already added, a fit Lenny, and Roo, a new approach, a new opportunity, the focus on yoof and skills, the appointment of Max and Sammy, and the perception that the club has rebounded and is ready to reload.
It could all come to nought, but at least we have something to look forward to.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

I was going to use the word mooted ( for the yoof academy), which is another footytalk favourite, but couldn't use it in the right context

I am still critical of their reckless spending and pissing our surpluses up against the wall, but credit where credit is due.
It was the Admins fault that Lyon walked, but after the dust has settled it is good he has gone,
A fresh start with an excited and keen young coach, who has some fresh and innovative ideas.
And the admin has been fullsome in its support.
Was Lyon an opportunity lost? Possibly.
The Chinese have the same word for crisis and opportunity. So far the Saints have seemed to grasp the opportunity.
Lance or James??
