its china not war torn Syria.... the players a super fit profesionl atheletes ive done 3 contenents in 5 days once and survived it without any ill effects and im far from the fitness and healthy specimiens the players are ....
China is a smart economical move and also a great opportunity for our young team to bond together on a trip heading into the back end of the season ....

Its also better than a bloody away game in Adelaide again ffs. We were probably not going to get a home game at the dome so this works perfectly fine plus we get tons of cash for it

Grubby was one of the PE teachers back in my day at Elwood High School

That is a ridiculous statement. It's one match, it'll have little effect on field.

Particularly when instead of playing Port Adelaide on the Adelaide oval , which we would have done.

Means we will get 11 home games one at MCG in exchange for doing this , several million $
helps as well which is guaranteed from AFL ...no brainer.

 

[BrutThough]

Noticed how we addressing our weaknesses on and off the field. Adding experience such as Ratten, Lade, Slater, Gubby, Batchelor, that statistic guy and now Gubby also Bassett. And Hanners and Kent with picks 36 and 46 along with 4. Draft night could be the cherry on top.

Good signs

Don't forget that software. Will be the difference

 

[Diehard Saint]

Wonder if he’s still good mates with Whitfield?
Could come in handy....

 

[Hai_Newman]

Should be entertaining then Hai_Newman

I'll take the Gobby and move on...Oh wait...

Sorry you splendid kenty..we are out of "Yo Mamma" jokes, these are all going towards the Collywoobles campaigners.

Saints are doing a lot right.

Off the back of a crappy season and a reasonably underwhelming trade period they’ve still been able to generate a bit of excitement and optimism.

Think Gubby will be great for our club.

Raise a glass for the Saints folk that don’t actually have to kick the ball. (EDIT: I don’t mean Billy Longer here).

Hopefully it translates onto the field.

 

[Saint Watto]

Got a really experienced off-field team for the first time in a very long time... great acquisition

I can't remember the last time that we had some much credentialed AFL experience off field.

From the outside....it looks a "star studded" line up.....full marks to Lethers….he's added the type of personnel that we could have only dreamed of 4-5 months ago.

And a hippie teacher known as Wilfred.. lol

Gubby Allen is another great pick up..
We've put together a new off field team within the Coaching & List management areas, with proven success in their chosen profession..
If we somehow manage to extract picks 5 & 10 for picks 4 & 36, we'd all be giving a Grading of an A in the off season to the St.KFC..
So much crap has been scribed by lazy Journos in the post Trade/FA period..
We gave up zip for Hannebery & Kent, & that's the bottom line & kept the most "wanted draft pick" in many years..

 

[Verdun66]

Happy with this. I see elsewhere that some aren't, but it's good to see us with some smarts behind the scenes. Think he is probably closer to a few of these Player Managers, and that can't hurt. Plus he's a bit of a campaigner. Knows where a few bodies are buried I bet. Could be handy.

And I agree with an earlier post that he knows what good inside a club looks like. He will have a view, and hopefully steer things in a good direction.

 

[SaintWWodonga]

Good appointment. Good operator. Much needed. Maybe he brings some extra draft insight too?

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

LOL tell that to Gold Coast.

Gold Coast are way more a rabble than us.
China had absolutely nothing to do with them being s**t. That Club couldn't handle traveling to Phillip Island let alone China.
And they are so propped up by the AFL financially that they didn't need the $2million so they just opted out.

#destinationclub......offield

 

[majortinkle]

It's hard not to feel confident about our future at the minute - we could be looking back after a successful 2020 highlighting that this offseason was the key period setting us up. Just have to get through 2019 first....

Maybe Grant Thomas is next on the headhunting list then

We could bank with his new business venture.. money goes in, money stays in.

Yes, you too. He was only there for a year or two if I recall.
