Either way, to send out that e-mail was treachery. If that person is still employed at the club, they should be moved on immediately, irrespective of whatever value they are perceived to be to the club.

Tom Chadwick is indeed a particularly stupid member of the press...well done Saint Pav.
You're all mean he has stated he meant that it isn't a word in that context? Because saying it's not a word didn't sound stupid enough on it's own. And they say the standard of journalism is slipping.
I drove back from South Australia last night and had hours of Finey on the radio. I can see why he was chosen to be the mouth piece of these resentful white ants, he is an unquestioning sensationalist who is so unbalanced he is borderline unhinged.
The funniest bit was when he was whining about the length of the draft period only to be corrected by the soccer guy who told him it was called the trade period.

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
It's a big ask, I know, but just wondering if we could possibly leave the bitching and personal stuff out of this thread in the hope it develops to the extent that some good might come from it?
It seems that there are people on here who have been recipients of this email, I think it's time for them to consider whether they want to be part of the problem or a part of the solution. I'm sure TOT can be trusted with a quiet PM.

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
intersting that some media took what may have been info and investigated themselves and then decided not to publish-- and surprisingly the paper we normaly like to abuse has been even handed and not back page about any info from the saints.The email in question also found its way to less noisy media practitioners, 1 of whom is well known and broadly appreciated here. He doubted the veracity of what was postulated, so chose not to lend his weight, although what he read caused him considerable concern. This failed to deter the most noisy end of the commentariat
another journo opposite paper comes back from holidays and obviously sees the info from said email and goes in boots and all--------- do they then find out more and start backpedaling--
the 'twisting' of information or listening only to what you want to hear, or not following up information of one light to push for the common' perception' ( negative)
is why I generally like to go to the original audio, video- IN full where possible--- listen to the tone, hear what the original question, context of responseand question etc-- to better get why the information came to light in the forst place
ie listen to Scott's manager
or Dal's manager Both of these gentlemen appaer to be even handed with their dealings with clubs and not agressive.

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
It's about pushback, Doc. The snippet as fact bs has been driving me nuts. And, when there's little or no context it becomes infuriating. I haven't read anywhere about the likes of Fine being qualified in organisational theory, operations management, complex societies, or any field of endeavour beyond shock jockery 101. Be buggered if I'm happy to let them run the agenda.Dr Spaceman wrote:Excellent stuff TOT! The rats need to be exposed.
Although it's only a game, what they are doing is not a game.
Plus, I'm very happy with Summers early displays of actual competence. A little bit of leadership mixed with a dose of clarity, coherently explained, is way more interesting to me than the braindead rantings of misanthropes who've been fed embellished, exaggerated, venal and filtered versions of largely insignificant everyday goings on at a sporting business in which I am vested. Phew!

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
If it's a faction it ain't very big. Summers is firmly in control and he's providing real breathing space for people to get on and do their jobs. And, guess what? The folks doing those jobs are actually happy about it. Who'd have thought, eh?Stillwaiting wrote:The question I would like to ask TOt, is this one individual or a faction within the club who have a gripe against Watters in particular.

I can argue that WB, North and Melbourne have made management calls that have set them on the right path and are ahead of StK.... The new clubs will succeed on the back of Hand outs....

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
Actually, Still, I'm not sure they're too worried about it. Oxygen deprivation is a reasonable way to let it die on its own, rather than give it any credence by engaging. Sad sacks, like the perpetrator(s) of this side show, just tend to get sadder over time.Stillwaiting wrote:The OtherThommo wrote:If it's a faction it ain't very big.

Ok, I wait eagerly until you can name and shame. I understand that the club doesn't want to give credence to it but I really think a strong statement should be made by sacking them. I don't get why the perpetrators would want to be still at the club anyway

Stop asking to see the email.
We know enough about its contents:
SW called a dwarf by players, senior players hate him, Pelch argued with him, club in disarray,
some players wanna leave, everyone hates Seaford, yada yada yada.
Somebody saw something minor and blew it up, invented stories a la the Fairfax Witch.

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
Grant Thomas. Still in contact with some senior players, who may be miffed at SW devaluing their past efforts. SW being tough -"Armo and Fish, don't go away with that Martin fella" he's treating them like schoolkids.
Senior players needing to vent, find a sympathetic kindred spirit who soothes their ego, so they exaggerate everything. That's human nature.
Check twitter, GT pretty vocal about his old club.
And any media hack will listen to him as they know he is a conduit to the players.
He spent years on Footy Classified with the Fairfax Witch so they know each other.
Of course I have no proof at all, simply a wild guess which is probably way way off mark.

Re: The Disgruntled Communicator
Oh, yes. SW at the B & F saying "this club has settled for second best"
How would that sit with GT, who achieved so much while he was there?
Slap in the face.
So SW has devalued all who came before him, coaches, administrators, forget GT, the "source" could be anyone![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
