Jack coy on future

[To the top]

In regards Geelong, if Jack wants an insight into that Club and the individuals who inhabit it he could do no better than speak to Neil Roberts and ask about a match day function where St Kilda and everything St Kilda was lampooned, particularly by Scarlett who let forth with his venom with microphone in hand

The result of that day and the embarrassment to those guests who supported St Kilda (included the feted Neil Roberts) was such that I have since refused all invitations to match day functions at Geelong

The abuse of Scarlett was condoned by their President, by Stoneham as MC and by Brownless as the Village Idiot because there was no apology for the unhinged rant by Scarlett

Go to Geelong at your own risk

Hopefully their home deck dominance and opinion of self worth will see their straight sets exit once again - and their fall from Grace

Remember they only survived because Westpac wrote off half their debt when getting rid of them to Bendigo Bank

Scarlett. Biggest flogger of all time and he knows it.

And, if completely honest, St Kilda moving on from the Richardson/Geary/Longer regime will make St Kilda a better Club

No doubt nice people - but wrong culture

Do not mention that dirty scum of a name here

[DJ Higgins]

Don't forget that cats have to offer something worth the trade. Their first round draft pick won't cut it as it will be about 15. If they don't come to the party then he stays and realises which team wants him

[bigred]

f*** Geelong.

[shanegrambeau]

I don’t think our objections and disgust about Geelong and Scarlett will have any value in Jacks scheme of thinking. Geography, family, new club, new start, playing with legends like Selwood, Ablett, Danger, Duncan and co. will.

Yep, and I remember when we were wondering how we were going to replace Plugger! I mean, you'll never replace Plugger but here we are 20 odd years later and we're still here

Maybe not, but Jack's contracted, so it's not only his decision here.

Sure, if Jack wants to go, he'll probably get there, but there is not one single Saints supporter on this planet that wants us to give the scum Cats a leg up with a nice deal. If our club lets a contracted champion walk out the door to Geelong for a VFL plodder or a dud pick, we'll burn the joint down. The Cats' complete disrespect for our club has a lot to do with that.

Hopefully Richo was the problem and a new coach will be enough for him to want to stay.

I don’t get how if he does in fact love the club and the boys as is widely claimed, how moving an hour down the road to a brand new club is going to improve his life so dramatically? It’s not like he’s stuck in Qld or WA or anything?

Really?

He has serious personal problems.

He looks the be well past the worst of them, if today is any guide.

Being good at your job is irrelevant to having personal problems.

I just thought he seemed happy within himself and rapt he was able to contribute. You can’t see inner turmoil, of course.

If he is still clinically depressed - and I’m not certain that he is - a change of scenery isn’t certain to help.

He may be think everything’s going to be hunky dory when he’s back on the coast, but It doesn’t work like that, unfortunately.

Again, I’m not sure of the particulars of his family situation.

Exactly

[Cordz2]

Best thing about Jacks game on the weekend is that it pumped up his value for any Geelong trade. Shows that he’s still A grade after a long layoff.

[goods]

it's not depression, it's a breakup. And breakups take their toll and take their course

That arsehole excuse for a geelong coach was talking down Stuv's value on 360 last night.

I get sick of watching him every week with Whately hanging on his every word.
The Geelong bias on that show turns me off as there are few teams I dislike as much.
It supposed to be coaches night but he seems to be a constant invitee.

[SuperDuper]

We need to let him go if that is what he wants, with no hard feelings. He is a legend at the club IMO but clearly has some personal issues.

We also need to get something of value in return... not holding him ransom for an exaggerated price but getting something that we think that we can use, whether that is Charlie Constable (maybe we rate him, I have no idea) or a reasonable pick that we can use

It is not by 'Invite" - it is coaches night - because that is the time that they have regulars in - who happen to be coaches

It was Scott and Richo for an entire year!

Charlie might turn out OK but he certainly isn't a match winner. Stuv is. Constable and a pick maybe, if Stuv is hellbent on leaving.

If you have ever attended a Geelong FC function you will be very well aware of what a rusted on Geelong tragic Whatley is - including being MC at their B&F functions at Crown

And Whately is not the only one

Gerard Wankley on 360 said that word on Steven leaving is an overreaction.

Don't go anywhere near Geelong Stuv. Not a good place to be.

Cats may have something higher value than that if Kelly is traded to Freo. Reckon they would get this year’s and next year’s first rounders or close to that for Kelly.

The petition Tattoo! The petition!!

There is always the possibility that Geelong won't want him. They've got Ablett and they're not short of classy mids.

[B.M]

Let him go

But if we do for unders, I will f***ing lose it!

I don’t care about just what’s right for Jack, happy to trade him, but not for FA

The Luke Ball situation hurt the club, so would this

[Rubyjo]

Don't think he is going.... Most of it is a media beat up.. Why would you go his mates love him here.. Question is how much do we pay him... 3 mill for 3 years. Probably double what geelong would pay.
