Dear Mark - Communicate with your wife.

Love Joffa


Lance or James??

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>)

Don't force alaims to love a club by making a soap opera from the engagement you have with the club or worse, what you deduce as fact.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

I think you are confusing Mark Fine with the management of the St Kilda Football Club. Two weeks ago their review says that Scott Watters should be retained. Today sacked. None of those incidents involved a presenter on a radio show.

Simple fact is that Mark Fine had some inside information and that information has proven to be spot on. You may not have liked his delivery of said information, but he was accurate. So was Jon Ralph yesterday for that matter. And Caroline Wilson.

Or, ran with a rumour and got lucky.

Bugger, this is hard.

Mark, I am sorry.

Your treatment of Caro and Patrick was still poor. Perhaps you should try apologising to them also. It can be cathartic.....LOL

Blind Freddy new there were problems with the inner samctum so Finey wasn't exactly a prophet here
Perhaps the flow on from his and the rest of the media alarmists pot-stirring added more fuel to the fire, and as a result Watters position had become untenable.
Wouldn't take much for the Board to grab a final straw and try and wipe the slate clean for the foundation of a total team rebuild
I think its bloody good nrews personally

To be fair, most of the criticism directed at Fine was that he dropped a bombshell without also providing any reason for it.


I think people are within their rights to be critical of that.

Rather than wasting your time collating a bunch of apologies from people who quite rightly think he's a twat, why don't do you head off to the office and blow him under his desk you piss weak, company line, yes man, suck arse?

Ah yes, I love it when the irony stick hits you right on the head. Love your work flash. And I was actually going to print them all out on my dot matrix computer too. You'll get the point one day fella!! :roll:

Roger to that one!

No apology owed! :evil:

Finey called for Cuddle's sacking, yet provided only vague innuendoes. :shock: Very poor journalism! (Same applies to Caro on this - and I usually rate her work.) It should be put up or shut up!

He elaborated a bit today. Should have done so originally. :?:


It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?
Dave, man. Open up ------------------------------------------ -----Dave???
Yeah, Dave. ---------------------------------------------------------Dave's not here.

That's right. Then he wouldn't have come across as such a silly twat.

Dear Mark, when you wrap up a company, do it by the book or you could end up having to tell mistruths in a court of law.

In light of the pending appointment of Alan Richardson, pending Kochie's breakdown, pending the doom and gloom forecast by others on SS, I thought it relevant to revisit the maligned Fine. I'm thinking he was done a grave disservice!

I'm impressed that he was right, but to say he didn't contribute to our club being put through the ringer in the media over the past couple of months would be incorrect also. I'm still not a fan of the way he has bagged his club for his show.

It seems that what he was banging on about was very accurate.

But it seems fair to assume that everything that has happened in the last few weeks would've happened anyway if he had kept quiet. Only difference being that our club would've faced less potentially damaging public muckraking and his show would've recieved less publicity/ratings.

Yes he was right - hooray for Finey! But that's mainly due to him being privvy to information that most of us aren't privvy to.

So I'll admit he was right but I'm not sure I see the need to apologise.
