St.kilda, It's in the Blood.

The time has come for the RFC to face reality.
Yes the list is weak but the coach is weaker.



One only had to be present at Telstra dome on Friday night
to witness the true element of ill feeling present, expressed by Tiger supporters'
when Nathan Burke declared, "Richmond should be glad to have him (Frawley).
Although masked somewhat on Television, the jeers and boos'
from irate Black and Yellow folk was more than audible at the ground.

We are continually reminded of how "honorable" a man Danny Frawley is.
Technically, according to his original contract his time is up in 3 weeks.
As it stands he would only have gotten next years gig if the Tigers made the eight.
Surely someone as 'honest' as Frawley can see that 14 wins from 44 games
is not good enough!!!

The clause which enables the board to terminate Spuds contract
if we fail to make the finals is still in place.
Greg Miller advised they should remove it but it remains to be seen.

Talk of honouring contracts, maybe he should consider his original one and go quietly.
If he doesn't resign of his own accord then the man has no integrity, clearly he doesn't
have what it takes to coach at the highest level.
To be out-coached by Grant Thomas is laughable at best.
Having said that the players should not escape criticism here for their failure to man-up,
do the hard running, and dispose of the ball in an intelligent and skillful way.

Spud is a dud. He was assistant coach to the guy who won the wooden spoon at Collingwood.

His entire playing career was at St.Kilda and his
current assistant is a guy who won Carltons' only wooden spoon...not very inspiring.
The lack of kids for the future is a worry, the lack of heart and effort from the players we have is a bigger one.

Danny, do the right thing & resign.

You've had a go & you're not up to it! Sorry mate.

If Frawley stays expect memberships to be around 20,000 - 22,000.
If he is replaced by a professional, expect something like 27,000 - 30,000.
