We need a fresh approach and as long as it’s not a job for the boys, we really need all the help we can get.

Massive get. Billy was a training beast. He and Cam Smith set such a high standard at the Storm. This is great news. Well done Saints!!

Told you all Lethlean would be good for the club. More to come.


Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

I love this. Anything we can do to import a culture of winning is fine by me.

And if he has an extra few minutes, teach them to tackle like Lenny and Gilbo.

from a league fan Slater is a gun. He won the rexona sportsman challenge years ago and is a winner. The man is a fitness machine and has no fear, tackles anything that moves, wears hits like they are nothing. GREAT GET

So you’re basically telling someone to go kill themselves for being positive about the footy club. I knew St Kilda supporters were notorious for eating their own but Jeeeessssssuuuussssssssss.....

Great get, and credit where credits due, be it Lethlean or whoever.

Quick on this site to bag the crap out of the entire Saints organisation, and at times rightfully so, but this is a real positive.

Billy boy is a winner from Storm to the mighty maroons, and a tough nut as well. Hopefully can pass some of it on.

This is a massive appointment by the saints. They have identified an area that is terribly resourced and have worked to fix it
Slater will start to bring back that uncompromusing culture we had 2009-10. And those that can’t get to the expected level consistently can go....aka Tom Hickey.
Well done saints.

Actually an appointment that is beyond my furthest expectations....Respect!
Who could possibly shirk their efforts with Slater watching?
Great leader and arguably the most elite Aussie sportsperson of the last decade.
I assume they told Sheil he was coming before he turned us down.


Nee!
