"Having been the leader of a generation of St Kilda footballers - some of whom spent years in a bubble - who came tantalisingly close to a premiership but ultimately lost, it is heartening that Nick Riewoldt has moved to influence the competition to better care for its players. And by extension the Saints take some responsibility for a lost generation of young men away from the game.'
still ...hard to read about allen...not much the saints can do about saad or milne.....

Re: caro sinks the slipper into saints
Even insiders like Pelchen agree that we have been poor in this area in the past. I saw the reference to Nick Riewoldt as praise for the man more than anything else. It says to me that Rooey wants to leave a legacy not just on the club, but the entire competition. If the club plays this right it can be a real positive going forward !!stinger wrote:is she justified....maybe...but you be the judge.....why just the saints.....what about her tigers....king...martin ...etc..???

Rooey should be given a role with the AFL on his retirement. He has genuine concerns about the future of the game and its players and expresses them intelligently.

Re: caro sinks the slipper into saints
I can't see Roo being the coaching type after retirement ... He is a good media performer so that might be a future carreer path .. But I get the feeling once Roo is done playing he might head to the US maybe pick up an ambassador role with the AFL

Re: caro sinks the slipper into saints
Its a typical wilson story !
She could have written it from any club's prespective .
The club is trying to do its best but will always fail some players .
It reflects society , where there are always people who fall through the cracks .
So she writes about the saints with the pen in one hand and a sword in the other , reinforcing the negative " typical St Kilda " attitude that most football supporter have .
I would like to see a graph done since 2000 !
Article's on each club !
We would be just behind collingwood .
then if you broke it down to positve and negative story's , i reckon we'd be a mile ahead on the negative side.

Re: caro sinks the slipper into saints
Had lunch today with someone from part of the industry who's met both Watters and Richo and thinks we are definitely on a much better path with Richo.
Article is spot on.

Re: caro sinks the slipper into saints
Seems like a begrudgingly positive article to me, at the end of the day we seem to be moving in the right direction as a club...
Apart from a blanket concern I have for any person's well being I can't, however, say that I lose much sleep about the average footballers life after footy. They get paid an exorbitant amount of money to play a game that they (usually) love, there should be no expectation that they should ride the gravy train forever. Even if they're not set up financially for life a career change in ones 20s or 30s is relatively common. Not suggesting we should ignore past players' welfare - especially where serious injury is involved - but there are a lit more pressing matters for us to address first I would have thought...
