[Stephen Theodore]

Bloody hell, a bit of stability at this club wouldnt go astray.

[SainterK]

the "he's a myth" list M...

[FQF]

Caro clearly saying that he did not quit but was told in advance that he wouldn't be part of a restructure and has since been looking for a new job.

It is all very strange given the outward importance the club placed on him as a key part of the rebuild. I think an explanation is owing...

[SaintPav]

Always wondered what Beveridge was going to do.

[bergholt]

I hope his spreadsheet didn't quit as well.

?
pelch was a myth?
what, as in all that was done at port and hawks was a myth and it wasnt all organized by pelch?

agreed
why have him around a table discussing draft prospects for the the up coming draft and have it up on the saints site for all to see if he was not going to be part of the friggin drafting?

explanation indeed is required

Imo yes, well certainly at the hawks anyway

[FQF]

Also, why is the club saying that a replacement will now be searched for. Surely if this has been planned for a while, they have a replacement ready to go.

[SainterK]

Have had my doubts about Alan, not being strong enough and a shadow of Chris...

might be the making of him

SOS to return?

saints may be ahead of the play this time?

[matrix]

thanks K
could very well be right on this 'myth'

and yup, agree again FQF

[saintbrat]

So much for thinking we'd have a pre-season without major upheaval

Are you kidding? This is the sort of chaos that makes us what we are. Bring back the disco.

[Bunk_Moreland]

More significant in the article and of long term value to us is the promotion of Bains.

I reckon he's the key off field at our club, and is now 2nd banana to Finnis I assume

Reckon he was instrumental in sticking the knives in. Bains is making a little empire dowen at the Saints.

Look out any recruiter taking Pelchans job. Suck up to Bains or you will be gone.

isnt SOS rumored to be heading home to caaaaarlton?

SOS was a great player and great assistant coach for us, but it's hard to tell if he's doing a good job in list management at GWS.

[The Redeemer]

Thats f****** bulls***.

Pelchen was seemingly responsible for the leaving of Lyon and the sacking of Watters...now the cause leaves prior to the job done.

So f*** that and f*** him.

Stupid munt

[asaint]

Sell us the dream, then sack him. Hopeless. Losing faith. Why can't we have stability ??

Bring back school girls and dwrafs

Let's be clear - Chris Pelchen was head of football.

He was not head of list management - that (was and partly still is) Ameet Bains.

He was not head of recruiting - that's Tony Elshaug.

He was not director of coaching - that's Luke Beveridge.

He was not head of development - that's Simon McPhee.

We still have stability and great people across all those key roles.

Pelchen had a significant role in list strategy in conjunction with Bains, but Bains is across the detail. Bains will retain some list management responsibilities when he takes on more of a commercial role.

We have promoted Bains because of his ability, and at least two other AFL clubs were interested in poaching him. Ameet is rated extremely highly within the industry. He's also very well liked at the club. Would not surprise me if he gets offered a CEO gig in the next two years. For the first time in a long time, we have developed an outstanding performer from within.

I'm writing a letter to the club
