Looks very good on the field in the future even a novice like yourself can see the list has been turned around. We have secured who we want unlike other clubs (Beams Ryder Boyd) players are happy unlike other clubs (Collingwood) Big deal that Pelchen has left for Carlton.
Pelchen probably had ambitions while the club is hoping for another spoon next year in order to get another top pick
Ridiculous use of 'harder edge'. But sound logic behind the reason to hire a head of football with expertise in coaching, welfare, medical etc.Need for 'harder edge' in high performance prompts Pelchen to quit Saints
"DEVELOPING a "harder edge" within St Kilda's football department was one of the reasons behind the club's split with head of football Chris Pelchen.
"We've recontracted 19 of our young players now for the next few years, and we want to make sure the environment in which they work in is absolutely uncompromised in the pursuit of excellence in a high-performance sense." Finnis told SEN on Tuesday afternoon.
"[This is] in the way you combine coaching with conditioning with welfare and medical – these all require a high level of expertise in really moulding those different parts of the business together and that's what we see going forward.
"We're really strong, and have been really strong, in strategy and list and recruitment, but we felt that there was a harder edge and a bit more work we could do in terms of our football program itself and that's the change we decided to make."

Bains is your Chief Operations Officer now, how can he still be responsible for recruiting.
Who are you then, Ken Expert?Resigned after an internal review doesn't read all that well from where I'm sitting. Pretty amazing after all the crap sprouted this time last year after Watters was given the arse. The Doggies gave it crack but nobody does a shambles as well as the Saints.
Don't think so. If you want to see a troll you need go no further than your brother in arms Adam H. I on the other hand am genuinely concerned and frustrated that the Saints just can't seem to get their act together, both on and off the field. No need to shoot the messenger for pointing out a few home truths.
I heard from a good source that the Saints are going to implement the Bulldogs model and allow the players to make all staff related decisions.
Ah yes but, Henrietta hasn't had his last laugh yet!We are that better placed than your disjointed rabble it isn't funny.

Do I sense an air of insecurity in your comment - storm clouds gathering over the Westpac Centre?We are that better placed than your disjointed rabble it isn't funny.
If you had any real insight into the club you'd know that all of those players would have stayed, if the decision was based on their love for the club. We we're well compensated for all of them. We got a pick twice as valuable as what we originally paid for Stanley.Yep, Goddard, Dalsanto and Mcevoy were all desperate to stay.
Heck, even Stanley couldn't wait to GTFO after 2 decent games in five years.

Perhaps a Ross Lyon type would bring better conditioning and oversight of the medical side to the table?Need for 'harder edge' in high performance prompts Pelchen to quit Saints

No matter which way you choose to spin it, things are in dire straits down at the Saints. It gives me no pleasure to say it, but it's pretty obvious that the Saints are in for a decade of pain, both on and off the field. It does you no credit to attempt to deflect and lash out at those of us who bear no malice towards St Kilda.All four attended our B&F and left on good terms. The same cant be said for Shaw Didak and Beams. Ball didnt show up either but we all understand he has no morals anyway.

We are merely pointing out some home truths, unpalatable though they may be. You need to face up to it rather than burying your head in the sand. That way the club may be able to move forward.
