Where does this leave Archie Fraser ? !!
Although Ken Sheldon looks ready for the chop no matter what hapens at the EGM, Archie Fraser would be on shaky ground should the Footy First Group get up.
After all a group of that stature would want to put their stamp on the place as soon as they got in and that would go all the way to Archies seat.
Ross Levine has been remakably quiet lately and what is Jim Watts up to these days? !!

There is a note regarding Archie and other senior staff on the West of Moorabbin site.

The Peanut's claims are quite extraordinary if they are genuinely based upon what Fraser himself has been saying.
Assuming that people close to Butterss read the various Saints-related websites regularly, I would expect that Butterss will be contacting Fraser shortly to find out if they are indeed correct. If Butterss doesn't take this sort of action, it will be a sign of how weak his position has now become.
If it is true that Fraser has been whiteanting Butterss, it is only what Butterss should have anticipated, given how assidiously Fraser undermined GT in the weeks leading up to September 12 2006.
Regardless of how close or distant he might be from the likes of Gdanski, the challengers would be mad to keep AF on if they win control of the Board. Indeed, if the suggestion that AF is on their side gains wider coverage, then I suspect that this would serve to diminish the popularity of the St Kilda Footy First team's cause.

Didn't he just knock-back an AFL job?yipper wrote:So is Jim Watts busy these days??
I'm wondering if the StKildaFootyFirst group are much more advanced than they are letting on?
What wonderful times for conspiracy theorists?

Yes indeed. There may actually be plenty of substance behind the new group. Westaway, Ross Levin and John Gdanski are good friends with Watts aparently. Very interesting times ahead indeed.Mr Magic wrote:Didn't he just knock-back an AFL job?yipper wrote:So is Jim Watts busy these days??

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Jim Watts did work at the AFL for about 12 months but has left recently to, I think, 'spend time with his family'. I badgered an AFL acquaintance about the real reason for Watts' departure, but hit a brick wall!Mr Magic wrote:Didn't he just knock-back an AFL job?yipper wrote:So is Jim Watts busy these days??

Whilst not usually a 'conspiracy theorist', I too find this all very interesting and think it is further along than what is being let on. In business, a lot of things can go on for 12 months or more, before finally folding, or a takeover / buyout etc. being announced. Hmmm......

Just talk to anyone that has worked or volunteered there. They are not glowing....

I mean you don't want them to get elected and then ask themselves what the f do they do now!!!!!

Touché! Though my comment was specifically in relation to MM's regarding the 'rebel group' (to quote the official 'party' line) and their ticket being further advanced than what they are letting on.saintsRrising wrote: Well I would actually be ver dissapointed if the Alternate Board had not in fact have well researched plans ready....

Had to laugh when reading a BF post about the challenge, where an Essendon supporter was bemoaning the feeble attempt by their supporters to instigate change...

Wouldn't surprise me if he was. Would still be smarting that Butterss torpedoed his negotiating stance over Moorabbin, you know, the "Yes we're going/no we're not" couple of days.stinger wrote:interesting...seems archie might be white anting from within.....and here"s me thinking that he would get the chop along with sheldon......

Well i think its just part of evolution. When the saints had no team and no money we needed a autocratic style to make the decisions needed to turn the club around. Thomas in the football dept and Butters off field. It is because of their success that our club has moved so far forward that both their styles are no longer required.
Dont get me wrong, our club needed boyh men at the time and we owe them a great deal indeed. But to go the next level we now have to look elsewhere and I trust Burkey and Thomo. they have my vote.
P.S. Is it only social club members who can vote...?????
