So Noble and Luff f*ck us over and are now doing the same at St Kilda… Why on earth would the Saints hire these two for the review?

AFL 2022: Former North Melbourne list boss Glenn Luff presented to St Kilda’s football review committee​

St Kilda hired former North Melbourne list boss Glenn Luff to analyse the Saints’ playing list as part of the club’s review into the football program.
News Corp can reveal Luff presented to a working committee led by president Andrew Bassat that included new chief executive Simon Lethlean, board member Jason Blake and ex-Kangaroos coach David Noble.

Luff, who is now a golf operations manager at Bundoora Park after resigning mid-year from North Melbourne, also spent 17 years at Champion Data as an AFL analyst.

The review has already resulted in the shock sacking of coach Brett Ratten, who was believed to be safe when the process began in August after he re-signed for another two years only a month earlier. St Kilda will announce that decision in a media conference at its Moorabbin headquarters on Friday morning. Veteran administrator Geoff Walsh was appointed as executive general manager of football in early October and charged with overseeing all facets of the men’s football program.

The state of the Saints’ list has been a constant talking point, especially after a quiet trade period that saw them miss out on No.1 target Jordan De Goey but retain young gun Hunter Clark despite him wanting to move to North Melbourne. James Gallagher became St Kilda’s list manager two months before the 2018 trade period, then executed an aggressive recruiting raid a year later that delivered Bradley Hill, Paddy Ryder, Dougal Howard, Dan Butler and Zak Jones.

Dan Hannebery also arrived only months into Gallagher’s tenure, a high-priced move that spectacularly backfired, including only 18 games in four injury-riddled seasons before he retired this year. Gallagher explained after the trade period the Saints were deliberately not heavily involved, with a focus on retention and bringing “A-grade talent” through the draft. But he admitted on Thursday the list was not good enough to compete for a premiership.

Club great Nick Riewoldt supported St Kilda’s football department review and called for the list and recruiting strategy to be “looked at and pulled apart”.

Another former star, Leigh Montagna, also previously urged the Saints to trade some senior stars and “reset”, suggesting Hill, Jones and “maybe” Jack Billings or Jade Gresham could be sent to rival clubs.

“(The review is) absolutely necessary, particularly around the list structure and recruiting strategy moving forward,” Riewoldt said on Fox Footy in August.

“This is a really critical time for St Kilda, the next 12 to 24 months, because if you look at the previous strategy; they’ve gone down the path of bringing in mature-aged players, which has elevated them to an average team –and that’s about it.

“But if you look below that, at the young talent who are going to form the elite core of this club for the next five to 10 years, there isn’t much there.

“And so what is the strategy? Because it’s no good topping up with (Dan) Hannebery and Hill and Jones and these guys when you haven’t got the organic growth coming from underneath.”

Interesting watching the clarko one that comes up in the banner at the end
"The 4P's!" Love it.

St Kilda brains trust sits around discussing who to hire for their review"

StK brains trust: 'We need people with recent industry experience, particularly in operating in a non 'big club' environment.'
StK brains trust cleaner: 'North just sacked these blokes.'
StK brains trust: 'Doesn't get much more recent. Hire them, and the bloke that sacked the first one.'
 
Kudos to Herald Sun for managing to put pretty much the exact same words on the front page and on pages 6/7 about Tarryn, while also managing to connect us to the flood disaster by referencing “North” in their flood headlines on the front page and page 4.

The natural reaction to hearing Corne on the the wireless would be to change stations. That's what I'd be thinking anyway.

Oh well.

I like the Corn, he has NFI and early onset dementia in my most humble opinion. I did the online checklist for signs of dementia on Corns behalf


The early signs of dementia include:

  1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life- cannot stop talking about North, and our issues like it is the first time he's heard of them .
  2. Repetitive behaviour- " apparently, we have no recruiters for the 7000th time. ( we do of course)
  3. Difficulty performing familiar tasks- well, nope bagging us out is still going strong
  4. Social isolation- that in fairness could be due to just being a prick, so not 100% sure that is dementia driven.
  5. Confusion about time and place- Yes he thinks he's relevant
  6. Problems with abstract thinking- Abstract thinking is the ability to consider concepts beyond what we observe physically. Recognizing patterns, analyzing ideas, synthesizing information, solving problems, and creating things all involve abstract thinking. Oh the Corn gots the dementia for sure!
  7. Loss of initiative- N/A
  8. Poor or decreased judgement- He likes Caro
  9. Language problems- Well this very morning while bagging us out, he forgot what he was saying and just trailed off
  10. Other behavioural changes- yes, he thinks long term expensive contracts are ok for Port players but not North players.

We may need a sympathy for The Corn thread soon enough

oh well

Think he also lines up pretty well if you do a profile on a psychopath.

I think the AFL Flatulator should raise this with Korne via Twitter.
 
Just did a quick wiki search to see if I was missing something.


The Journalist's CreedEdit

  • I believe in the profession of journalism.
  • I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust.
  • I believe that clear thinking and clear statement, accuracy and fairness are fundamental to good journalism.
  • I believe that a journalist should write only what he holds in his heart to be true.
  • I believe that suppression of the news, for any consideration other than the welfare of society, is indefensible.
  • I believe that no one should write as a journalist what he would not say as a gentleman; that bribery by one’s own pocketbook is as much to be avoided as bribery by the pocketbook of another; that individual responsibility may not be escaped by pleading another’s instructions or another’s dividends.
  • I believe that advertising, news and editorial columns should alike serve the best interests of readers; that a single standard of helpful truth and cleanness should prevail for all; that the supreme test of good journalism is the measure of its public service.
  • I believe that the journalism which succeeds best — and best deserves success — honors Man; is stoutly independent, unmoved by pride of opinion or greed of power, constructive, tolerant but never careless, self-controlled, patient, always respectful of its readers but always unafraid, is quickly indignant at injustice; is unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob; seeks to give every man a chance and, as far as law and honest wage and recognition of human brotherhood can make it so, an equal chance; is profoundly patriotic while sincerely promoting international good will and cementing world-comradeship; is a journalism of humanity, of and for today’s world.

Oh I ran into the Flatulator at the gym, he was looking at himself in the mirror. I interrupted him. Funny thing you mention the corn . He got blocked by the corn , for posting a pic of the children of the corn. And asking which one the corn was.

Oh well as Flatch use to say .
 
Where does he (Kane) get "4 coaches in the last 11 months" for Judas?
We all know Kane has trouble with basic numbers. 6 years = 5 years, 500k = 700k etc.

Do you think he had or is having an affair with Caro? He seems to be taking up a number of her causes, namely being negative towards us.

I reckon Caro walked into his Ch9 dressing room in nothing but a see-through nightie and seduced and brainwashed him into continuing her cause to make NMFC irrelevant and a laughingstock of the AFL. And because that huge head of his is hollow it was an easy seduction.

Just a thought, now try and get that image out of your head. :D:D
