NATHAN BURKE IS on the footy show tonight!

[4theluvoftheclub]

Heard from friend of the producer. Butterss not going to be on. SFF want a footy focus .

Westaway was good on radio and the tv news.

I am really liking the way that Westaway , as a proposed president , is not trying to dominate all the news shows for his own ego , like some existing presidents....

He didnt sound that impressive to me and I would think he is getting Burkie to do some of the talking to get more votes. I am sure if RB had a great player on his board he would do the same thing.

methinks you have lost your mind, or have a big imagination ...but i like the idea that youd reckon I am a player like AT...actually an accountant who can't kick 30 metres, BUT LOVE THE SAINTERS!!

I said good not great. And I must actually agree that Burkie is the "popular one". But still , I reackon that even if Rod had Harvey on the board , he'd still be the face of everything..does seem to love the media spotlight.

Interesting to actually see the faces of some of the other board members at the press conference today. and Rod NOT taking the meeting.

Got hit by Burkie 2 weeks ago. Some sort of disagreement.

I suspect that someone already knew the answer to the question he was asking.


The same someone that has only joined the site post lauch.....

[4theluvoftheclub]

When u see someone with 9400 posts, it's a bit hard to jump in, but addictive once you do...and I have no idea why he has a black eye....

[Joffa Burns]

Wonder if Westaway will be up in the rafters pulling the strings while Burkie appears on the footy show

[Sam23]

Got my vote.

[ausfatcat]

Did you hear him say the saints are being sued by a ex sponser for not meeting there obligations... What hope do we have of getting other sponsers signed up then???

[Juggernaut]

Who's going to be first and take up RB offer of come to the club offer us your ideas we value our members input
Well here's mine hey Rocket theres the door... buy the way give us the keys

If RB had have answered some of the questions the way Burkie did

he would be ridiculed.....

Perception

Difference one considered past use by date

the other a fresh approach and a club legend to boot

No matter how RB answers is damaged goods in most eyes

Must admit burkie only just ok BUT first time probably under the grill in that enviroment

Disagree Chook...think that Burkie handled the slimey weisel with the class that we associate with the man....absorbed the pressure ,maintained his dignity and calmly responded...in contrast t o RB who is asking the new board to run its plan past the AFL..With Fonzie Rods mate to decide if they are worthy challenges.....a desperate ploy if ever there was one...not required under the rules of any club in the competition....the St.Kildav members will decide ...end of story.

Butterss has lost me for allyime....knifed GT but can't accept that its time he moved on as well....put the club before your ego for once in your life

Actually there is a big difference -
1. RB did an exclusive interview for TFS with only Hutchy asking leading questions and allowing him to waffle on in the only way that RB can, business rhetoric
2. Burkie came on live and faced not only Hutchy but Gary Lyon and his patsies and tried to make a fool out of a club legend. As AOK said in another thread Burkie's first reply to Hutchy in reference to allowing the AFL to give the tick of approval for the challengers would have won a lot of people over. Kudos for having the balls to go on to the show to face that firing squad.

I tend to agree Chook.

Its very easy to stand on the sidelines haveing NEVER been involved in an AFL club at Board level and having NEVER stuck your neck out and throw mud at Butters and the current Board. Lets face it Butters IS on a hiding to nothing whatever he says hell be chided as as spin doctor.

What GENUINELY impressed me about Butters today was when asked on radio would he go and sign up some footy club legends to be on the Board to counteract Burke and Co and hes said no. He said Boards are about commercial acumen and experience...just cause you were a fantastic footballer...doesnt make you a great Board member. That said I reckon Burkie spoke very well and handled himself well....I DONT like the way Westaway is hiding behind him cause he speaks like a gorilla who drives trucks.

[saintspremiers]

Yep, any St.Kilda Prez that needs to brown pole Dimwit is GONE in my book.

Good riddance RB.

You KNOW your time is up.

How dare you publically dismiss members of OUR club in favour of the "independent" AFL?

Whatever.

Go grab another glass of Red......

my comparisons or view was not based only on the interviews tonight but RB over a period of time......

Burkies was based on the interview


also one point Burkie made .....................club exists to serve its sponsors
or similar..........

Unless I heard that bit wrong ........don't agree with that

yes need to service the sponor...
