St Kilda have done some dumb shit but hiring a senior coach who was thieving off his old players would be pretty insane. And no club of decency is going to hide that from someone else, nor could they really. As for him getting axed from the Saints... he was a rubbish coach, but apparently he wasn't very well liked especially by the players.
Maybe because he was thieving from them too

Yeah, I still haven't found out what Watters did at the Saints that was so bad. After he was sacked by St Kilda, Mark Fine pretty much said on SEN that he was such a shit campaigner-head that he'd never get another job in the AFL, and it looks like he was right, or has he got a gig I haven't heard about?

All the St Kilda senior players disliked him. The only coach Riewoldt didn’t mention in his retirement press conference or in his book.

Word was he use to sh*t with the door open and bring his own packed lunch/dinner to game days. Had a few other quirks that put people off apparently.
Apparently on occasion he used to eat his packed lunch whilst shitting with the door open and making eye contact with those passing by. A very off-putting scene by all accounts.

Thanks. Any more details about what made him a shit bloke?
Apparently never awarded a single Hungry Jacks Player of the Match food voucher. Used to rock up to training with a Bacon Deluxe meal and throw the chips at Reiwoldt until he'd get attacked by seagulls.

A well known ex players wife. They were together at the time

She was obviously munted on the ice and making advances to the cab driver. So the cab driver pulled into a police station in the South Eastern beach side suburbs. The cabbie comes into the cop shop and tells them this bird is hammered and is stripping naked in the back of the cab saying she wants to get ****** but the driver didn't want this to come back on him. So he got the officers to go out grab her and lock her up until she sobered up. They pretty much did that. For the next couple of hours she was screaming at the cops saying shit like 'if you are real men you will all come in here and gang bang me' ext. This went on for quite a few hours until she started to straighten up.

This came from a copper I know who worked at the station. This was around 2007-2009ish
Not believable cobber. I reckon that copper you know isn't telling it to you 100% straight. If it was a players wife she was probably half decent, I simply can't imagine the Coppers not queuing up. At least a couple of them. How many were on the shift? I thought it was well documented coppers like to get their filth with drunk & drugged chicks, women caught with drugs, women accusing blokes of Domestic Violence, unlicensed single mums especially in unroadworthy or unregistered vehicles, shoplifters you name it. It's treated like a smorgasbord by many of them.

Wow, next you'll be saying Vicpol let criminals off if they get paid too. Pathetic.
