How many bloody Sandgropers
Will Watters inflict on our club?
A bunch of coaches and "high performance" managers, Wilkes last year, Lee (whomever the f##k he is), and possibly Brown (i know a Vic but was a WCE).
Watters does realise that there are more football places than flipping WA doesn't he?

We actually picked up heaps of our sandgropers before Watters turned up....joffaboy wrote:Will Watters inflict on our club?

We went from 1 (Gardner) to 7 :
Winmar, CJ, Ray, Cripps, Peake, Ledger, Andreoli - all under the Ross Lyon regime.
So not completely Watters doing that we have turned into "Far-East Perth FC"
But it looks like we will lose at least 4 - Ray, Peake, CJ, Cripps from that bunch of 7 - maybe all 7 of them. So probably end up a net loss of sandgropers under Watters. Remember Mitch Brown is a Victorian returning home (recruited from Nth Ballarat) so you cant really count him either.

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers
There is just as many quality coaches and people in the AFL industry outside of Victoria as there is in. The benefit of the non Vic personnel is they dont come with the pre conceived Victorian biase or snobbery against St Kilda that a lot of the non Saints people carry.
Where did our last two heralded players come from that have left the club ?

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers
Good point. Ball and BJ both carry the Victorian thing of wanting to be at a 'big' club. What are they 5 years old? knobs.WinnersOnly wrote:There is just as many quality coaches and people in the AFL industry outside of Victoria as there is in.

Quite a few WA duds recently for us. So hopefully Tommy Lee is our man!

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers
And whats so great about WA football?
Three flags since 1987, two when the Eagles were a state team.
Freo has produced nothing in 16 years
Therefore one legit flag in 25 years from a whole state.
We are top heavy with second rate West Australians.
It bodes ill for the future.

Gary Colling was good. Have no idea why you mentioned him. I was obviously talking about now.

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers
We look every where for good players WA has produced some good under 18 teams recently so obviously WA players come under consideration .. It a good thing that we cast a wide net to get the best people in the country not just the best in Melbourne ...

Re: How many bloody Sandgropers
"How many bloody Sandgropers?"
Probably the least concern I have ever had with the Saints in 40 years of support.
They are building a TEAM from the coach down.
All on the same page, and that's what will win a flag.
It's an exiting ride imo.

Of course the great former Saint captain, and 1980 all-australian Bruce "Super Duper"ouzel was a Sandgroper
