The coach over there isn't a big Carlton fan either having been spurned and asked to go through a process.
Dinners must be fun as they air their grievances and plot their revenge :D

They take the opportunity to kick the town drunk as they pass by.

It's like McGuire, he knows AFL finances in general take a hit when Carlton is on the wane, but he can't help himself, he has to strike out when presented with the opportunity. In relation to Carlton he wants the financial benefit without the cost of Carlton success.

Swapping out picks to get Blaine Boekhorst Whiley and Jaschke.... Couple of guns there...NOT.  That one will live in the "what a f up file" forever.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

You're not supposed to mention the "War"!

In the meantime, the media has rolled out Mathieson again, like that couldn't be predicted!

The passing of Pratt was the biggest negative for our club, he kept all the Megalomaniacs in check. We buckled to media and social pressures on Sayers, of course nothing to do with the club itself, but I'd have to say Sayers was a close second to Pratt in terms of keeping the club on track.

I reckon Ross Lyon would have a 'hate' list as long as your arm.  He just strikes me as the type of guy who is so convinced he knows all the answers, he treats everyone who disagrees with contempt.  I am certainly not disappointed that we haven't spent the last 3 years watching a Lyon-based game plan.  He certainly hasn't done the Saints fans any favours, watching them play is almost a chore.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

If it wasn’t for Nas’s moments of brilliance, I’d rather stick pins in my 👁️ than watch a St Kilda game.

We both won the same amount of games this season.

He will make big moves. He will make things happen.

What are all the big moves he has made at the saints apart from possibly this year?

He would do better if he removed the gigantic pole he has stuck up his ar5e.

Don't disagree with the last part.

Honestly i don't take too much notice of the saints and their list and indivodual moves.
The fact that he has managed to build this war chest is enough of a move for me.

How come 17 other teams don't have the same war chest?

I find it very hard to believe that Ross Lyon or Steve Silvagni are making any decisions based on revenge. If that's true, the St Kilda fans should absolutely revolt and demand they both be sacked. Appalling lack of professionalism, if true.

Good question!  The TPP rules don’t allow clubs to bank enough savings to cover the largesse SOS is piling on Nas, TDK and whoever else he fancies.  Front- and back-loaded contracts won’t do it either.

There will have to be significant cost cutting, or an AFL blind eye, if St Kilda’s books are to balance.

Despite the reported dinner where players allegedly agreed to take haircuts, managers will be looking for greener fields.

I think SOS is better at his job after the GWS and Carlton experience where he had his hit and misses. Its probably going to be his last recruiting job especially if the Saints fail to fire a shot in the next couple of years.
Does he enjoy seeing us suffer and fail, yep Im sure he does, does he make it a priority in his job to try and screw us over, probably not. Will he stop at trying to recruit our best players??...I dont think so.
Eg Id be predicting Sam Walsh gets a mega offer from several clubs including Stkilda and we might see another TDK scenario.

Saints won 4 of their last 5 - melb by 6 pts (after being down by 8 goals), NM by 9 pts, Rich by 4 pts, Ess by 2 pts, all with Wanganeen-Milera completely on fire.  Hardly breath-taking form.  Even with our crap season, we were far more convincing than them.

Many pundits suggested that Rich v St Kilda game would make the podium for the worst AFL game of all time.  imagine watching that rubbish on a weekly basis.
