Re: LOL Aints

No doubts they’ll win a more games but it’s no where a balanced, premiership caliber list. He also doesn’t have peak Riewoldt or Fyfe at his disposal to build a game plan around. He’s blown up badly at two separate clubs, this feels like another attempt by the Saints to buy success. I hope they’ve got a rock solid contract in front of him.

I was listening to it earlier. Saints are all over the shop with how they go about fixing things.
That move to Seaford and then return to Moorabbin highlights how unprofessional they have been.

A good coach and an experienced list manager are positive steps though.

I went out there for a business meeting a few years ago. Boy is it far and in the middle of nowhere.

At indoor soccer last night I was talking to a St Kilda supporter who had just read their history The Point of it All by Russell Holmesby. He said the thing he took away from reading it was St Kilda have always been a basket case and it's proven by the fact they have only ever won one premiership in 150+ years and a record number of wooden spoons not just in the VFL and the VFA

They've spent a lot of the last 5-10 years fixing the mess that was moving to Seaford. Coming back to Moorabbin cost them money, but it was the right decision.

Re: LOL Aints

Whatever happens to us, we can never let people like Lethlean into our footy club.

Nothing personifies average more than an HQ reject private school old boy like he does.

Love it they are looking backwards

I mean Earnfred in that article comes across as very cynical but as it goes on he makes more and more sense and is conciliatory which is something you don't see much of in media these days.

Re: LOL Aints

Yeah, what's with this "Bevo's home is St Kilda" bullshit?

His first club was Melbourne. Yes his dad worked at St Kilda but who cares? He isn't Bevo. If you want to count that then his grandfather Jack Beveridge played in 4 Collingwood premierships and was a member of The 1927-1930 Machine. St Kilda was the third club he played with. He played finals with Melbourne and Footscray. Coached us to a flag.

Spiritual home my arse.

You can't blame Thomo for trying to get him across but with Lyon as good as in place now that isn't happening anytime soon.

They have made so many symbolic gestures over the years and Lethlean was hailed as a big news story when it happened but like many other appointments and decision it hasnt amounted to anything for them.
The move to Seaford was more about being seen to be doing something than considering what the supporters wanted. When it failed they sold the story of moving back because the supporters wanted a return to the spiritual home. No wonder they are in debt.
I have to give a shout out to their members because they stick with them.

The Saints supporters I know just throw their hands up and laugh, they are so resigned to mediocrity at the moment.

Yep - odds-on frontrunner. Only other serious candidate is Yze (one sports administator's opinion anyway)

Say what you will about Lyon, but his ability to get bog-average defenders playing a system that makes it hard to score against them is as good as anyone. Zaine Cordy will love him. Getting perennial underperformers to the big dance (St Kilda and Freo) is no mean feat.
