So these "internal problems" are now undeniable facts are they?Junction Oval wrote:As many have commented previously (me too), in view of the internal problems within the Club.
What are they and where can I verify all these problems from a reliable source?
You know like the Herald Sun or some other Murdoch persuer of the truth?

Is he a leader of men?
Is he tough enough?
Is he smart enough?
Does he have enough mongrel in him?
Will he make the hard decisions?
All questions that need to be addressed.
I wouldn't know this guy from a bar of soap so I really couldn't say. But I'd be more comfortable with a known quantity such as Eade, particularly with this group.

The concern that I have is that Watters is in more of an "advisory" role than a "decision-making" role. I don't know the guy. he is probably brilliant technically, but how good are his "people management" skills. Will he (or other young assistants) be able to get the job done?
The "good news" is that the Saints have put in place a wide-ranging and very experienced Coaching Panel, with some great "people" evaluation skills. I feel reasonably confident that the best decision for the Club will be made - it is the most crucial appointment for the Club in a long time.

I'm sure there's a few people down here in Geelong who felt the same about a year ago.
Just gotta trust the panel to make the right decision I reckon.

Watters coached Claremont to back to back premierships in the WAFL before getting the Collingwood gig. He must have done something right !!Junction Oval wrote:The concern that I have is that Watters is in more of an "advisory" role than a "decision-making" role.

just been on the VFL review on SEN and Finey asked him if he has had any contact from the one club with a remaining job-
Ayres said he hadn't and maybe Finey could ask Pelch-knew him from Hawthorn-
Finey said he couldn't beleive the club
I made the assumption he also hadn't made an approach-
and I too am not unhappy- no logical reason just don't feel he would fit.

I was trying to find the link but to no avail. But I recall reading last week when his name came up Ayres was quoted as saying something like "they should give me a call".saintbrat wrote:just been on the VFL review on SEN and Finey asked him if he has had any contact from the one club with a remaining job-

No Gary. YOU, or YOUR Manager, should apply for the job. You know there's a position going and you should be doing everything in your power to convince the Saints to consider your job application.
You are not an AFL Premiership coach. You have not coached in the AFL since you quit the Crows mid season in 2004. You have been overlooked by AFL clubs ever since, including the Saints in 2006.
Nothing personal Gazza, but it's a bit egotistical, and fanciful on your part to think WE should chase YOU

Re: Very impressive young man...
Yep, it's a really big part of the process these days. He may just blow the expert panel away.WinnersOnly wrote:Very impressive young man...gees if he interviews like that for the SAINTS job he is a monty !
Maybe we should have recruited Bruce to the panel? He may have thought Watters was deliciously special
