Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
Can Watters really be the reason if true?
Doesn't strike be as the tyrant type??
Is this simy a case of the "old guard" being peed off cause their chance has been missed and the in having to move on??

Seems like it is true that he bawled Armo and Chips out for hanging around with and planning a holiday with Dustin Martin in front of the rest of the player group. Not sure how well that would have gone down. And has had little effect as I saw with my own eyes 2 of those players having breakfast together yesterday morning.
Perhaps the players are thinking who the eff does this bloke think he is coming in and telling us who we can or can't be mates with?
If its just two players who think that then fine, and after all DM is a dodgy type but Dal?, Joey?, Rooey? These blokes have been the heart and soul of our club since the turn of the century. Only one missing is Lenny. Id be giving them serious clout over a bloke whos only been there 5 minutes.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
See that's the point - I wouldn't
The thing all these guys have in common bar Armo is that their careers are about over
IF anyone wants to hang round dick heads then good on the coach for pointing it out - surely the club has had enoughof moron players bringing us into disrepute again??
Sam Fisher.... plenty of smoke round this guy in recent times ... tad worrying.... get the GWS deal done quick is my suggestion

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Just because they're on more coin and been there longer than Watters does not give them the right to be involved in the short or mid term and especially the longer term planning for the future of this club.
Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
Why is anyone surprised that some senior players may not be happy. If management is saying publicly they are going to be phased out over a year or two or may be traded as we reinvent/envigorate the list- why would they be?
I think it's a no-brainer that some are going to spit the dummy. This is the reality of change, out with the old in with the new. All clubs do this only we (the supporters) seem to think we need to hold onto them till they retire because it's about our favourite sons, our heroes. Well guess what...where does that leave our list?

I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
Why all the strife? I thought the Saints worked hard through a tough year of injuries, an ageing list and a year where the young guys having to carry the load. Sounds just like 12 years ago.
The recruitment in the last two years has certainly been promising compared to the 4-5 before it.
The short films of Roo and Watters were really good. The mindset of Roo and Lenny about building the next generation, just like they were supported in 2000-2002 sounds like they all have their heads screwed on in the right place with the long term goal in helping the club.
They just need to clean up all the off field nonsense and stupidity and there is a brighter future ahead.
Sad, even if not surprised, to see Ledger let go.

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
This bloke sounded alright.
Was there a line where he said 'you're either being heard or you're out' or something along the line? A philosophy he used in business.
Made me think we didn't hear or see much of Westaway. Not sure if he meant it like that.

If the two players were Fisher and Martin it is only reinforcing my thoughts that Fisher is lost and we can't afford to keep him and he has to go.Teflon wrote:See that's the point - I wouldn't

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
people really dont believe roo and monty etc want out the club, not sure if i am being naive but i hardly think so. Roo hardly seems like the type to walk away, he has made it clear in the public eye he wants to help the club in its new phase

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
I just hope the new Pres and the board lead from the front and don't let the club take crap from the media or the AFL- we really need strong leadership and direction while the club is down and compared to Mr Westaway, I would like to see our new Pres a bit more in the media just pushing the club up there rather than chest-beating.

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
A new big sponsorship deal would be a coup that would shut up a lot of people. I would make it a priority for those not directly involved in the footy department- and I would start by targeting the NZ tourist commission.

we need something bigger like Coke Zero or something that has sympathetic colours and needs promo. car companies and soft drinks not soft furnishings and door hardware and led lights.

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
When it comes to sponsorship I couldn't care less if we were sponsored by sorbent toilet paper as long as the $ value is bigger than anything we've ever had.gringo wrote:Zed wrote:A new big sponsorship deal would be a coup that would shut up a lot of people.

I'm just sad about dal, cause I truly think he wants to stay.
However if he's being too nice about it all, it can't be helped

I wonder why the media are treating Geelong telling Chapman to leave so differantly to how they are reporting any saint move

Re: Peter Summers on SEN - new Pres.
thank god we didnt get him. walks from hawthorn for health reasons and then wants back into a role. meh no thankskos wrote:There are rumors getting around that we are in horrid state internally. Senior players are unhappy with the coach,
Dal, Joey, armo, Gilbert, roo, and fish were named as wanting out in the last 24 hours with all assistant coaches.
James fantasia I think is the guy who was being interviewed for a position at the club and has declined due to events taking place in the last week.
