Not a household name, but he knows his stuff.
I think now St.Kilda need to rebuild. I do agree, if I was in charge, I would be ruthless and trade some of their big names for early draft picks and good younger players.
I would also hire Scott Waters. I think he is the best of the guys left. Coached his own team in his own right to Premierships, now regarded as a great developer of talent at Collingwood, so much so that a few clubs are after him in regards to a Development coach position.
Hire Scott Waters, trade some of the ageing A graders, delist heavily and recruit some kids. In this case now it is needed, as two of the big drivers of the culture down there in Lyon and Mission have departed.
Including the Tigers.
