Left of field

Post: # 1323937Post spert »

I wonder if Warney would ever be considered as Saints president, I reckon he should be approached, as I think we need a high profile media-friendly person to head the club. And what about approaching Ricky Ponting as number one ticket holder (Ponting and wife have bought a mansion near the Warnes). It's time for the club to really get a higher profile.

Yes I know, but as a figurehead, it is probably money in the bank

Showed his true colors in the Marlon Samuels incident. That's a big NO THANKS for me.

Ponting is fanatical North supporter....and there has been talk of him on their board. I love Warney as a cricketer and commentator, and as a number 1 supporter after Eric Bana gives it up he'd be great. But Prez...no....too left of field.

What a brilliant media front,high profile person he would be.
What does make a great president.
Personally, I think Eddies done a great job at collingwood.


100 goals in 14 games...Lockett is the key

Not get smashed.
Win two quarters.
Lose (if we have to) by 3 goals or less.
Some young guys show something..Lee, Wright. Siposs, Ross etc etc.

I reckon Warney would do a really good job.

What is the role of an AFL president? Advocate for your club. Be a mover and shaker. Hob nob with the big end of town and raise money/sponsors etc etc.
Provide some guidance into setting up mgt structures - but nothing too technical.


I think hed be suited to the job and would be really good at it.

Warney wants to talk about the Saints just need to get through talking about Warney first. Warny warney warney. Might be a bit of a distraction. At leasrt new idea could say he is former cricketer and football club president.
