Ashley Prescott

[supersaints]

From the Dockers ....Has apparently replaced Laidley

[Mr Magic]

Gee that was quick!
Laidley only resigned today.

How did we, without a CEO,
establish he was available
establish he was happy to move across the country to us
establish he was happy with the money
establish he was happy with the facilities down at Seaford
etc.

Amazing work really.

Or maybe, just maybe, the Club knew that Laidley was going and had been working in the background on a replacement.
Surely not though, after all we are a rabble and in disarray.
Caro keeps telling us that so it must be true.

I can't wait for when we're no longer a rabble and in disarray.
Just imagine how good we will be if we can achieve what we have over the past month whilst in disarray.

For interest - his father David Prescott played 13 games for the Saints in the 60's - from Wiki

In 1960 and 1961

[supersaints]

It was a newspaper on the 28th that he was leaving the Dockers and either moving to West Coast or back East. I presume we had already been talking to him.

[maverick]

Laidley didn't resign today, his contract ended today

[noddy04]

Does Ashley Prescott coming to the Saints mean that Laidley has "gone with the wind" ?

He coached Claremont from 2004 to 2007 and has links with Simon McPhee who coached Claremont in 2011 and coached their reserves side and colts during Prescott's tenure

Another one of Cuddles mates

You must be as old as them thar far hills

[maxdis 42]

I presume he was Freo's midfield coach?
A good get by the club !

[Devilhead]

If the reports are true???

I wonder if Caro will wriite an article on this appointment

I very much doubt it - will probably be left to one of the underlings

Happy that we found what appears to be a suitable replacement for Laidley so quickly

[supersaints]

Got just the form for the Saints.. Coached three loosing grand finals in four years in the WAFL.. Welcome Ashley.....

[Solar]

so lyon has burnt out another assistant.

A quick google search says He was part of their development team - he was an assistant coach at Essendon before he jouned Freo in 2011

[saintbrat]

may have already been coming to replace Graham- but upgraded from development to senior coaching panel.

[Con Gorozidis]

Sounds like Laidley was gone weeks ago and just announced today

I'm asuming there is still one more appointment to come....

[joffaboy]

OMG with him and Basil coming on board, there is a "Mass Insodus" at the Saints.

Caro just wrote an article stating "Two Dominoes stood back up today at the Saints"

lol - this is all to funny.

Every time a Caro or some other journo wants to stir s.hit about the Saints, the admin gazump them with competence.

Hilarious

I like "insodus". Close to insidious, I know, but that has plenty of applications elsewhere.

I like "influxation" not a word but it rolls off the tongue like "Buckenera"

I have heard that Caro has been approached to play a man role in Insidious 3 - The Wtching Hour

You must be as old as them thar far hills

i can remember watching john coleman playing against the saints down at the junction oval...copped a wack on the nose and burst into tears.....as he did when he got rubbed out on the eve of a grannie.....reel sook...but a fantastic mark and a great footballer.......geez....now even i feel old.....

..ps....can still see les foote...our captain coach in 1954/55...holding the ball out one handed to the opposition before spinning around 360 degrees and shooting out a hand pass to an unsuspecting and far less talented saints player....only to cry out in frustration when the ball bounced off that players chest...
