"Asked what she would say to AFL powerbrokers based on her own experience, Searle required no think time: “I’d say if you want to make a statement, make a big statement. And a big statement is made through actions. Everyone knows there are a lot of females already in AFL administration, but why not create something that hasn’t been done before? Clearly, one of those things is to put a female coach in an AFL club.”

Great PR iniative if nothing else. Should help with sponsorship. And maybe she can coach also!

From what I've read in the last 10 mins she is more than qualified and more than capable of doing the job. Welcome aboard Peta !!

I remember seeing a story on her whilst she was working with Gary Ayres. Came across as very professional and seemed to have a great rapport with the Port Melbourne players. Hope she can adapt to working with Richo and co as effectively.

Welcome to St.Kilda, Peta! ...And a hearty congratulations is also in order.

Wow, that's out of left field.

Looks like a bold move, and I get the feeling that for a woman to fight so hard and to garner so much support for a seemingly hopeless cause, she must really be good at what she does.

given our finances, you'd think someone had either been sacked or resigned.

The only other option is the AFL have given us a women in football type grant to help pay her wage.

maybe we got some of the spare after Andy's wage out of the budget

but will get the Phone in hand controversy of the footy shows tomorrow- and the Saints in good media focus ( unless a favoured assistant has been released)

Cool. It's brilliant. Just what our club needs to move on from the BS scandals of the past and make a real meaningful statement re respect.

Doing what? Dwarf management?

[chook23]

Currently we have

Saints Player Academy

Simon McPhee - Academy Manager

Paul Hudson - Development Coach

Lindsay Gilbee - Development Coach

I wonder if either Hudson/Gilbee have left or Peta has been added as a 3rd development coach?

[plugger66]

Without being rude why?

[starsign]

Put some spin on this one Carro!
