First order of business is to get Tommy Walsh sorted. Gonna be a busy evening and next couple of days for the list management and new coach I reckon.

I want confirmation from the club though, send us a facebook/tweet/email advising of presser?

Congratulations if true.

I think the clubs process has been well handled tbh.

Now hes got to get busy:

List - Walsh
Game Plan - changes introduced.....gonna be interesting to see how long they take to implement.
Salary cap
Draft.

No rest time Scotty....

No time and cant risk the off field media attention a new coach hitting the bottle at St Kilda woul bring.....

If we got Fevola and he ate a Salada it'd be front page Hun with headline:

"Club goes crackers over new recruit set back"....

Estatic with Scott Watters winning the gig..has a very impressive background and I had a feeling about him from the start...very Happy and excited again for the future

If they've selected and signed him, why not announce him right away?

It looks as if the decision leaked 5 minutes after they made it, so why are they bothering to wait?

Anyway, good luck Scott. Unlike many on here who appear to have psychic abilities, I have absolutely no idea whether or not you were the best candidate, or whether or not you are going to make it at AFL level.

I reckon it'll be a very tough gig but i'm pretty sure that the players, fans, and everyone connected with the club will be 100% behind you. So go for it! Why not aim to equal Brad Scott's achievement and get a flag in 2012?

SainterK · Post: # 1163069Post **SainterK** » Sat 15 Oct 2011 6:16pm

Here he is for those who haven't heard from him before.

The club understands and are realistic enough to know it will get out...the official announcement is just a formality and for a new coach to put his philosophy and mission statement forward for the supporters and sponsors.

Good point.

Love to know who he is bringing with him and whether Harves and a couple of others will stay or move on.

The next few weeks will still be very interesting.

Must have impressed...

Best of Luck to him.......a very good candidate....

Mid next year.....we will get an idea of how he's going

defacto · Post: # 1163083Post **defacto** » Sat 15 Oct 2011 6:25pm

if i was the club i would bring in peter german as a development coach who coaches the VFL club and provides advice to watters.

max hudgton as a backline coach.

harvey probably wont stay so we need a midfield coach.

do we persist with kingsley as a fwd coach.

do we need a clearance coach?
