Agreed J-saint.
I can understand how plenty of fellow Saintsationalists get upset and want out club to make more noise Eddie-style.
The flip side is that for all his bluster and all the available $$$ assets ($$$ saved from not ever posting bail for any of their fellow Skunks), that club still nearly managed to go broke twice in 15 years (how could anyone loose money on inner city Melbourne real estate - during a boom!?!), and have only managed the one flag under blow-hard Eddie - and we all know how close run that one was.
Or look at Carlscum and their never-ending rogues' gallery of dubious presidents and board members... Ever since they have finally be called to order over their brown paper bag styled recruiting... gee, not so happy in creative accountancy paradise anymore...
The other way to run a club: Graham Dicker sorted out the Dawks, the clown Kennett got the glory, but their new guy is back to low-key. Collis at E-grrrls and then the Swines... Richard who? Frankie C at Girlong... low key. I couldn't even name the bloke who has replaced him.
What I'm saying is that I also like the softly, softly approach. Keep our cards close to our chests, keep our powder dry, get all the pieces for sustained success into place, and then before anyone has realised... the Saints are here to be reckoned with!
I'm a firm believer in the concept of the
iron fist being in the velvet glove.
It's happening! Go you Saintas!
