He is on now and sounds absolutely spineless. He shows no anger, no sense of betrayal. Instead, he said, "Ross came to talk to me yesterday and he was disappointed to be leaving us." WTF????

Does Nettlefold actually believe this or is he just a thoughtless corporate drone who spouts pre-fabbed lines.

He also said that since Malthouse has a contract, "we will not be approaching him"

His manner shows him to be completely and utterly out of touch with the sentiments of the supporters. He displayed no passion whatsoever. I expect nothing good to come from this bloke at the helm.

On Now (7.25am)

Yep must say i was disappointed with the MM comment. Surely everyone is fair game.

He doesnt have to bleat. He could have easily said any coach is fair game. That is bleating. It is proving we will do anything to get a coach.

For starters, I'm not a moron. Second, a bloodless, spineless response is not a mark of professionalism. At this moment in time it is weak and does nothing to rally everyone together.

Did I detect a gloating tone in Eddie's voice?

Maybe we should pursue Malthouse.

So.....

People were expecting him to go on the radio and act like an 18 yr old girl who just got dumped by her long term boyfriend? (No Kim Duthie jokes please)

Get a clue!!!

I thought he spoke well and make it clear we're already in the process of moving forward.

Here's a fact, Ross Lyon didn't win us a Premiership, so let's go find ourselves a coach that will.

right now - the club do need to work through the process- No time for hysteria and too much angst - as it will only prove there is no control-
what most of us would want is Cool heads

Who has said we dont want cool heads. You can show emotion though and say we are after the best available coach whether contracted or not.

Michael Nettlefold not stooping to Ross Lyon's level by making him stay at the club 3 months. @MorningGlorySEN

@MorningGlorySEN Michael Nettlefold, well spoken and even though I dislike St. Kilda very much, you did a good job on the radio.

@MorningGlorySEN what a great interview. He handled himself unbelievably good. And didn't bag out Ross Lyon.

categorically stated that Saints wouldn't go after Malthouse because he is contracted.

Strange comment considering Lyon and Freo conspired to break his contract.

maybe that is the only swipe that Nettlefold could bring himself to do.

Well he was talking to Eddie. Wouldn't want to telegraph his intentions so publicly I guess (presuming that would be his intentions)

sorry bigcarl to confuse - he said that on SEN not MMM.

Exactly. No one is asking him to go off half cocked. It is about being passionate. Sorry for those who can't tell the difference.

In fact a caller just rang SEN to talk about Nettlefold's comment about Malthouse and the panel is now saying that was very weak of him and that he needs to drop that line immediately.

Ah, okay. I wouldn't read too much into it even so. That's pretty much what a guy in his position would say.

Would hope that the person in charge regardless of what they are feeling or what I want them to feel, would be committed to the stability of the club.

What good would it do if he got on and vented his spleen. How does that help the stability of the club.

I am shattered right now, but if the leader of our club showed no stability then I would be even worse.

It is hard enough for us members and supporters right now, without our club falling apart as well.

SteveStevens66 · Fri 16 Sep 2011 9:01am

Why can't some of you tell the difference between showing measured passion and venting his spleen?

It must be SS. It is mostly about spleen venting.

meher baba · Fri 16 Sep 2011 9:07am

It's good to remain cool, calm and collected. But Nettlefold sometimes gives me the impression of being rather passive: a bit like a rabbit caught in thr spotlight.

I know most on here don't have much time for GT, but I think that's what he was trying to say about Nettlefold in recent weeks and maybe he's got a point.

Ice Wolf · Post: # 1141022Post **Ice Wolf** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 9:13am

I very much doubt the club would approach Malthouse before Collingwood's season is over, I'll assume that is all Nettleford meant in regards to that.

No it duidnt sound anything like that. It sounded it exactly as he said it. He is under contract so we arent interested at all.

I personally don't want Malthouse.

But that aside, if he was to come to St Kilda I'd want his people to be coming to us about it. They know the job's available.

MM is under contract and has said he won't be coaching next year. I don't want to drag him Blighty style into the place.

If he wants it then he should come and get it.
