Tony Elshaugh

[happy feet]

I can still remember when the Saints tried to sign him when he left Essendon. He said no thanks, I'm not going to a bottom/crap club.
Haven't liked him since!!

He actually retired rather than join us.

Hope he isn't tony74 'cause I like him.

I think T74 is Tony Browne - ex Sainter from the 90's who now works at the club.

You do have a brain don't you? You know how to use this website and the search functions and search users posts don't you?

It's like when people ask dumb questions or guess things when all they need to do is Google it

You obviously have time on your hands because you post enough times on here ( especially if you have time to post links to YouTube like the vids of Saints losses today..what are you thinking...???)

Ok. So basically, what I am saying is; use your brain instead of confirming to everyone what a knucklehead you are. If you are curious and you want to know something about a poster, do some research. From his early posts you'll find he states he watched the Saints in the 60's

I don't read half the crap on here let alone all Tony's posts. Whatever d**khead. Go eat another patato cake.

Suggest you check the spelling of your post, it's potato, not patato.

Good riddance.

Like I said knucklehead...use your brain...if you have one

Use yours! Bet my IQ is higher and PhD is more relevant than yours!

Coming from a bloke with a pic of drunk bloke on a toilet seat that likes to dress up for fun. Reminds me of Sat night...you would have enjoyed those signs.

C'mon guys settle down... this is a moment of great celebration!!!
The most incompetent list manager in the history of our club has been given the boot in the arse!!

He took us to rock bottom, and now, finally we can feel the winds of change blowing in the right direction... like a summer breeze.

I'm having a few cold ones tonight to celebrate... and make no apologies for doing so.

Finally we may actually recruit some talent...I feel so positive at the moment. Bring on the draft!!

Cheers everyone!

[MC Gusto]

I think we needed change but I’m not sure drafting is our issue

I feel that whilst he hasn’t been perfect Trout has drafted some quality players, the problem has been our ability to develop them and develop a game plan around them

Sure he has made some mistakes there’s no doubt about that... only time will tell as to just how many / how bad those mistakes were...is it lack of development or just plain bad recruiting? Obviously a bit of both but I’m hoping the weighting is towards poor developemenf as that can be fixed!

[Superboot]

As a staunch Dandenong supporter, I had a bit of a soft spot for Elshaug.

But, if you look at our list, and in so far as he is responsible for it, he obviously had to go

I think T74 is Tony Browne - ex Sainter from the 90's who now works at the club.

Then he'd be Tony77

Thats his little trick to throw us off the scent.

Sorry, none of the above"......... And Simon is just beginning.

So it was him that took us to rock bottom? Great. Case closed. No more need to conduct any further reviews. That'll save some money.

Thought we had you T74.
Thanks for updates too.
Simon?

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Good start hope Simon does know what he’s doing T74!

[Saintly66]

More to come by the sounds of it

No wonder the trout was no good. He was too busy cutting the lunch of half a dozen ss posters!

Jason Cripps would be a great get
Time to fill the box with some saints men
Boys that have bled for the club.

Whatever you say parkeysainter.

Go start another lost GF thread why don't you.

You are either a troll or just a moron.

I'm thinking the later.

My God, was Plugger66 the Great Man?

[robbie muir]

Ok, so Elshaug has gone and now the new guy whoever he is is gonna pick all these great new players in the draft.

Only problem is we don’t have many picks.

If the ladder ends up as it is now we have pick 3 and our next pick is 57

We have no 2nd or 3rd round picks.

So unless we trade players for picks, the new guy will have to do his best work with picks in the 60’s or 70’s.

Good luck with that.

[The Recruit]

List management doesn’t work in 12month blocks.
A good list manager will be 3-4 years down the track...2 minimum and it is not all about the draft.

[Con Gorozidis]

We have only one pick in the first 40 in a superdraft.

Thanks Ameet Bains you little flog.

Enjoy ruining the Dogs.

[one point]

We have only one pick in the first 40 in a superdraft.

Whilst that is clearly correct, the decision to move Elshaugh out seems to indicate that there may be a number of players traded out for either or both picks or players. Although we don't have any genuine A grades we now have plenty of B and C grade players who are tradable.

To get a top 25 pick we will have to trade out someone decent.

[one point]

That's the art of a good trade. You need to give something to get something. If it's a good trade both clubs end up better off for having done the trade. The unknown is who will replace Elshaugh and what skill and knowledge will they bring to the table.

[Yorkeys]

I suspect the recruit/retain/move on decision making is going to be quite a rigorous process now and Simon will be checking the arguments for and against very closely. I imagine there will a significant number of list changes/farewells at the end of season. Lonie, Savage, Weller, a ruckman or two, Sammy G, Armo and wouldn't surprise if Newnes and Brown were to go or be put on notice no contract renewals. Eight or nine spots gives a fair bit of additional salary cap space and not all that glitters in the first two rounds is the extent of the gold.
