Now at the time of his appointment - it seems we went through the most thorough, modern and professional selectionprocess - probably in AFL history.
At the time we copped criticism for taking too long (and ironically that complete douche Caro criticicised us for having a woman on the panel - WTF CARO??? )
The fact is due to timing issues of when lyon left - we were 8 weeks behind some other clubs so really there was no rush because we were the only ones in the market at this stage.
But we stuck to our guns and I think the club has really behaved very professionally since Lyon left - on and off field. I can honestly say IM proud to be a Sainter right now.
Now this brings me to the Demons - a stark contrast to us.
These guys deserve NO sympathy, hand outs or leg-ups. Schwabb and Gary Lyon are just the worst. I remember distinctly that after Neelds appointment that Lyon was on tv big-noting himself saying how it WAS HIM and HIM alone who chose the coach by and i quote 'looking into his eyes'.
What a narcicistic A HOLE of the highest order to think he didnt need to go through the same processes as everyone else.

(Meanwhile Brenton Sanderson and Dean Bailey have turned Adelaide in to a lean mean fighting machine).While club chiefs Don McLardy and Cameron Schwab continued yesterday to emphatically back their senior coach, it has also emerged that Melbourne was the only club of the four headhunting new men late last year that did not use personality-profiling methods as part of its search.
