I reckon Fireman should be representing Australia at the UN.
Only a man with the utmost diplomacy could create a thread like this without it becoming a slag-fest.
Some interesting feedback SEN, but I'm not sure if your character description wouldn't be out of place with most AFL coaches. In fact what many see as GT's greatest weakness I would describe as a plus.
Too often at St Kilda the coach has been beholden to influences outside the football department. I supported the decision to go after Blight because I thought we'd finally get a coach the wasn't second-guessed. When that wasn't to be, the idea of having a St Kilda man with enough clout within the club to call his own shots seemed a good alternative to me.
GT may have had his faults, but he came bloody close to pulling off the Holy Grail without a lot of luck. Considering the circumstances under which he took over the gig - I respect him for that.
BTW SEN, if you're going to repeat my jokes at least get the bloody smiles correct.
