I always saw Watters as a Lada Niva - a try to look tough, tiny off roader that just doesn't work. For long.
Putin approved - the perfect Soviet 4x4 to start WWIII in ...........

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Richo was a Leyland P76. Something no-one ever wanted and in hindsight was still a heck up. Watters was Proton Satria. Something little and noisy with aspirations to be a winner but no-one took to him.

Ignorant post is ignorant.
P76's V8's were pretty damn good.
They couldn't make them. They were too wide for the production line. Went broke trying.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Royal Enfield had a nice four-wheeler early on called a 4 1/2 HP Forecar Quadricyle, but I think Watto would be an early Toyota Celica, the very first series. 1600 4 cyl. Nice lines, sporty looking, Coke style body US inspired. Richo a Bedford truck, Ratto an International Harvester.

I like this distraction. I feel we are metaphorically, like the Germans lined up on the Oder front in 1945, awaiting a Soviet onslaught. The selection committee are in the Bunker, shuffling around paltry divisions that are at half strength across the map, and telling themselves collectively that we are ready, whilst privately knowing it will be only a blunting elastic defence that slows down the inevitable onslaught. They are speaking too their personal drivers and covertly collecting gasoline for their family escape.

​

These even had a name that suited Watters.

 

[Ricmel]

I thought i was on Big Footy not fecking Carsales

It's a St Kilda board mate. You know the drill. Mid way through the season talk about anything but footy.

 

[Saintbloke]

Watters needed to be an armoured car due to all the backstabbing that went on

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I'm thinking maybe a Morris Minor...........with emphasis on the Minor.

 

[Mat Mann]

Watters needed to be an armoured car due to all the backstabbing that went on

more like a Ford NC (1991-1995) Fairlane that self-combusted

 

[SG34]

For real?
Yeah, it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t happening ant the time, especially if he could be accused of breaching some rule or tacitly assumed thingo.

I don’t watch much footy back the. But whenever I saw Watters I kind of took umbrage with his calm demeanor and cool controlled manner.

How could it be ? I thought!

I do remember when he came in board he was welcomed and championed by Warnie and others who were very pleased with the unshackling of the the four Lyon-defensive style.

Finally we were running free.

Perhaps ‘Free Falling’ would have been more apt.

What happened at the end I have no idea. Didn’t he cop the Seaford move too?

Anyway, hiding to nothing?

 

[Scythe94]

Even the Demons preview says it it's going to be a lousy game 8 goals to 7. I just wish we had a premiership to go with our misery like they do.

Bold of you to assume 15 goals will be kicked between the two teams

Anyway old news now, must move forward and not dwell on coaches from the past..hang on what's Lyon doing here?

 

[pebblesofsand]

Fair chance Heath, Allison and OConnell will be named in the squad tonight.

 

[Saint Watto]

more like a Ford NC (1991-1995) Fairlane that self-combusted

Reminds me of the Ford Explorer in North America in the late 2000's which unfortunately for some drivers became known as the Ford Exploder.

 

[can coach]

after watching Sandy last weekend it would be to see Max Heath get a run… bit of Fwd/ruck . Surely crouch ,Clark comes in and Gracia was sharp too.
outs- jones , Paton , Sharman , collard , Pou. Steele rested
Ins - Heath , membrey , Higgins , Clark , crouch , Garcia

heath is not a forward's a**hole

 

[Brian Oblivion]

heath is not a forward's a**hole

He can take a mark - his kicking for goal - can be - a raffle.

 

[Plugger35]

Looking forward to the melts about our team selection, that's more exciting these days than watching our games.

Bold of you to assume 15 goals will be kicked between the two teams

It could end up a being a one all draw like the Tottenham v Newcastle match at the MCG last night.

 

[Bill Crouse]

Looks like the confirmed changes are
In: Higgins, Stocker, Byrnes (Ross named on the bench)
Out: Phillipou

 

[moirae42]

Scott Watters. The most irrelevant coach in our trivial history.

I swear to god I forget his name half the time.

Burning the dwarf on mad monday had a more positive outcome than he did.

 

[Jade Buddha]

Byrnes??

 

[D2D3]

Lol didn’t rest Phillipou for months last year and this when he couldnt get a kick then drops him twice in three weeks.

Least out selection is entertaining, unlike our game plan.

 

[The Slug]

Byrnes and Seb getting handed another game.....very underwhelming

 

[Yabadoo22]

I am now certain we have gone full tank mode..

Byrnes knocks the door back down after returning to the vfl after collecting 6 possessions, followed by 17..

No crouch is bewildering

obviously can't find his way into our first class midfield of Steele one one leg, and, well that's it.

I haven't been able to work out the selection all year and nothings changed.

If I was picking the interchange I'd select Ross, Owens, Dow, and either Paton or Bonner, with the other being the sub. But who knows with Ross

 

[Jade Buddha]

Would have thought Crouch. Mustn’t have the fitness levels yet.

 

[Ducky Tie]

Byrnes straight into the team while Garcia not even in the squad. Very surprised at that. Between Wood, Hill and Wood, I don't see the need for another winger.
