Sometimes it ain't coach thats the problem.

Hate to sound derogatory, but SOS has been one of the beneficiaries of 'Saints footy'. Any backline would be pretty reasonable with the amount of midfield assistance they get.

During his time with CH10 he was bland, uninteresting and the biggest captain obvious since, well... let's just say that The Ox has pipped him slightly.

Great footballer... not much of a footy brain though. Not that that's a terrible thing... footy is a fairly simple game, but those claiming him to be some kind of defensive messiah are deluded.

Even if he did want to come back, do we want another one of the so called "Boys club" at the helm?

 

[Stig O'Hara]

As i recall, didn't he march back into Princes Park post 2006, and announce he was to be assistant coach to Pagan for 2 years and then take over?

In the meantime Kernahan had switched to the Pagan camp at someone's behest, after having already said yes to Silvagni as well?

It was that shocking night when they all stood out the front of the club and looked like dills.

Well technically, he sat on the Carlton One ticket to oust Elliot, and regardless of your feelings about Ian Collins, Elliot had to be challenged. His high profile ensured Elliot's demise. He and Bradley then went to Collins and told them about their promised payments outside the cap. Collins urged them to go forward and cooperate with the AFL as they already had us on toast over the O'Reilly confession, and it was better to clean the slate and get points for cooperating.

Lucky for us hey - otherwise we would still be waiting to enter the first 3 rounds of the National Draft.

well maybe because he's an assistant to ross lyon..

He's resigned from Saint Kilda.

That was Elliot's contention, after the fact. SOS got less than he could have got elsewhere.

I would believe SOS before I would believe Elliot in a heartbeat.

Not sure why anybody should have animosity towards SOS for coming clean, and Bradley certainly had nothing to apologise for.

O'Reilly had already spilled the beans. Would people rather we got done for that, then if the Bradley/SOS stuff came out after that, get done again? They merely asked Collo what they should do and Collo said to come clean to clear the slate and create some goodwill with the AFL. They did what the powers that be at the club wanted them to do.

We all love Brown's response, but it was all in the timing. The AFL did not have their case formed yet and Brown was one they approached to form it. With SOS and Bradley they already had their case because of O'Reilly.

Not sure why and how people think we should have kept this buried forever and a day. It would have come out eventually and it would have been worse.

SOS did nothing wrong and those choosing to believe Elliot's lying smear campaign should be ashamed. Wasn't he the one that said we did not breach the cap? How can you trust him, simply because he is passionate?

Agree that we shouldn't have buried it but had the "fess up" been left til after the draft we could have Goddard running round in our colors now as the decision was an eleventh hour one.

Don't know what penalties would have been handed down after that so it may not have rewritten history that much

SOS & Braddles should have kept quite. No need for them to get involved and at worst should have done a Browny. Collo used them for his own purposes and Carlton suffered. Anyone saying differently needs to talk to the appropriate individuals.

Is that you Synbad

The funniest thing to come from the timing of the whole debacle was that Richmond had just traded pick 4 - which was to become Pick 2 - for Kane Johnson.

Must admit to not having a lot of sympathy for Richmond because even after that they (or Casey) had an out of court settlement with Holland for sweetheart deals from my memory

We have all heard that in Mike Sheahan's article last week.
