many insights into his coaches and how it was not how it seemed.

Thanks saintbrat.I really enjoyed that.Spider very candid.

[BigMart]

Outstanding

[Teflon]

what a great, honest interview and how much as a person has he grown?

Confirmed my biggest suspicions:

1. Malcolm Blight was a lazy @ssed b@stard who took the cash (still our fault) and was to busy on his private life
2. Stan Alves could coach
3. Grant Thomas was an absolute control freak who DID try and do it all by himself and stuffed us up by doing it (second time Ive heard a player/coach from that time say this openly).

He still loves saints most..

Great interview. Well done HD.

I think Noddy will be keen to interview Spider for his weekly show

Wouldn't be allowed to be friends with Big Ears nowadays. Calling someone Big Ears is discrimanatory.

[Verdun66]

Hope his kid is good...Father and Son.

Very good interview indeed.

[perfectionist]

....2. Stan Alves could coach...

That's because he worked on three things:
1. Skills
2. Skills
3. Skills

An amalgam of Stan and Ross would be perfect.

For the same reason you don't see the Black and White Minstrel Show.

[matrix]

Gee, talk about someone who can't get over an obsession.

Have you thought about seeking help?

Is that the response when you've clearly been proven wrong time and again - attack the man??

Loved the bit where he said Thomas tried to control everything and would've pulled on boots if he could!!
You're cult hero is nothing but a common garden variety corporate psychopath ...

Go listen to the interview again you silly fool

we are going to hear about grant and ross for another 20 years.

[Spinner]

What an interview!

[mightysainters]

Can't listen to it at work, any other things that were said?

[stinger]

What an interview!

yep...really impressive from a member of the "once were bogans" clan.......

[Newman]

Fantastic interview. Loved the Spida. Met him last year in Brisbane. Yep still got a lot of love in his hearts for Saints. No cliche answers just honest and open. Not sure if we could have won with him in 97 GF but he sure was a big loss.
A bit like the Geelong GF. Would Max have made a difference? Hard to believe we were that close with Riewold and Milne not firing.
