Did they mention Walsh and then say more upheaval? Or are they just talking about Walsh

Lyon's left for Fremantle hearing whispers
 
Just seen on the news.
SOS and Gubby at the club today, 15 days earlier than their offical start date.
Geoff Walsh was at the club today as well.
Starting to think this was planned, maybe Geoff Walsh was always only going come out of retirement to do a short “review” of our football department.
Strange timing of course, and strange that Misson is the interim, but from the way Lethlean spoke it didn’t seem like this was a shock at all.

Ross wouldn't have signed if this was true
 
Noble seems the obvious replacement I guess. Already worked with us on the overhaul a couple months ago.

You sound fiesty! I like it.

I think we're desperate and out of ideas so going after people we know and trust. A safe but uninspired strategy in what seems like a last ditch effort to turn our fortunes around.

Walsh and Allan were the only two appointments I actually liked, and now one is gone lol. I just laugh at us now, hope Walsh and his family are alright of course but the circus seems to follow us whether we bring it on ourselves or not 😂

Only because there’s enough simps sooking it up in here without you pouring your negativity into the mix 😎

Disagree with the desperation comment, agree with the last paragraph.

St Kilda has suffered an early-season setback with recently appointed head of football Geoff Walsh to leave the club due to family reasons.
Walsh was thrust into the position after the Saints’ 2022 season and was part of the coaching panel to appoint Ross Lyon.
He had made a strong start to his new role but his family situation changed and made it untenable for him to continue in the job.
“I have really enjoyed my time with the club but with my personal situation very recently changing, I now need to focus on addressing that, which unfortunately will preclude me from devoting the necessary time to a full-time role in football,” Walsh said.
“While I will be stepping away, I will still be keeping a close eye on the Saints and staying in touch to support the club where possible.”

It comes just days after the Saints appointed former assistant coach Stephen Silvagni and long time recruiting specialist Graeme Allan to its list management team.
The Saints will now be on the hunt for a new football boss just weeks out from the first lot of pre-season matches under its new look coaching set up led by Lyon.

It’s understood current high performance boss David Misson will step up in an interim capacity.
Former AFL official Tess McManus will add AFL football operations to her role as head of AFLW.

Saints chief executive Simon Lethlean thanked Walsh for his time at the club and understood his decision.

Geoff Walsh had made a strong start to his new role but his family situation changed everything.
“The club respects Geoff’s decision to do what is best for he and his family. We have been incredibly fortunate to acquire his expertise and skills, even if only for a short time,” Lethlean said.
“Geoff’s knowledge and experience has allowed the club to make a strong start at implementing the recommendations of the Review and embracing a new coach as well as many new staff within the program.
“Geoff and his family are now part of the St Kilda family. We wish them all the very best and look forward to remaining in contact.”

Good work Jon Ralph, having a massive picture of your mug rather than the topic of the story.
 
Anyone know anything about who the best GMs out there are and if any are available?

With absolute no knowledge of availability ,here is a few I believe might be capable capable
Grant Thomas has the skills to do the job however might have troubles taking orders from someone else and implementing a different vision to his own .
Gary Ayres.
Brenton Sanderson
Ray Shaw.
Think of a jilted ex CEO /coach wanting to return and prove a point .
The prize would be Gil ,but thinking wishful thinking.

Cheers, and yeah Gil would be perfect. I thought he stepped down, or is that end of this year?
