Cheers saintwill and PLUGGER14 ... great repots.
Everyone who has spoken to Westaway so far says that he is extremely genuine. This is good. Seems the old fashioned straight-down-the-line type.

Although Greg did not go into specifics, I got the impression that one of the reasons the challenge to the Butterss Board gained such strong momentum was the dissatisfaction of sponsors, which would have been well known among the business leaders and coteries who move in these circles, but that's just my opinion, not something that Greg said as such!
Found this comment interesting. Something I had suspected, although I have no idea whether or not it is true.

2. Players to a man have been very pleased with the change of the Board and have made this clear to him and other incoming directors. This confirms my personal thoughts when it was announced that Burke and Thompson would be on the new Board - their close association with the current players is bound to ensure that their views are given full consideration.
Good!

He was relatively lukewarm to my idea for the club to publish and distribute a quarterly newsletter as a means of communication with members, but invited me to submit a proposal to him, which I'll do. Brisbane Lions do this with great effect and I'm convinced it should be and can be done by St Kilda FC.
Something we desperately need IMO. I estimate that about 10% of the Saints fan base know about this forum/WOM.
For all the others who aren't internet users, they need a regular form of communication from the club.
As long as it is profitable, this sort of magazine is something that needs to be brought back. I am sure Russel Holmesby could produce it.
Cheers guys ... report much appreciated.
