re: the move to frankston.....

saintsRrising · Wed 21 Nov 2007 10:18am

Did not know anything...apart from being a Frankston Boy....but was obviously very excited by the news which was good to hear and saw it as a great step forward for the club in gaining good facilities.

Oh When the Saints · Wed 21 Nov 2007 10:20am

Yeah, bit of a nothing interview.

Sounded fairly content with the decision and was supportive of the decisiveness of the new board.

Thought that it was all about maximising the players' chance to win a flag, and thought that this move might increase that chance in terms of injury management ...

Why would he moved down there?

I am pretty sure he doesn't live at Moorrabbin,

Sounds like the standard GT stuff this year, no one can do it right because I'm not there.

I love that GT maintains his positivity about all things St Kilda - the new board, the coach, the playing group, etc.

Class act - and a great St Kilda man.

Pfft...Every day the Frankston Freeway and train line are full to overflowing with people commuting to the city for work. Why do AFL footballers have to automatically live within 5 mins drive of their workplace?

ausfatcat · Post: # 492434Post **ausfatcat** » Wed 21 Nov 2007 10:26am

apparently some players travel to casey to use there facilities. Caan't see it being a real problem and if it is they will soon get over it.

Gt comment not mine.....

agree with your last sentence.

saintsRrising · Wed 21 Nov 2007 11:34am

With the new facility...even with more time there and back....the players may well end up doing less total travelling as everything will be in the one spot.

At present they train far and wide....and not just at Moorabinn....

Just on the title of this thread...

Can we stop referring to this bloke as barks?
Barks for me is supposed to represent one of the most talented, loyal, exciting and decent people to represent our club.

Not some blithering twat who can't get over a former coach and annoys the crap out of everyone with his endless harping.

excuse me while i puke

Great St.Kilda men are the players who took 22.5 cents in the dollar to help keep this club in existence

What did Thomas do at the time?

He took every cent owing to him and then pissed off to North Melbourne.

How's the legal action going against the club?

everything is hush hush with the new board in relation to this, we've heard nothing

presume the new board paid him the money

Thomas was also suing for $167,00 in holiday pay, even after he 'd signed a stat dec stating that he's been paid ALL monies owing to him

Thomas only thinks about Thomas, St.Kilda is a very distant second

The legal action confirms this

Seriously Thomas was paid over 2.5 million, and $500,000 straight up from the get go, for an untried coach with no previous experience and at the end of the day he was still trying to sue the club for an extra hundred thousand or two

Great St.Kilda man

, perleeeeeeeze, wake up, numbnut

Trevor Barker is a truly great St.Kilda man

Thomas is nothing more than a snake in the grass

agree

b4e would seem to be more appropriate, though I'm sure there are a few with some other names they might want to use instead

never felt comfortable with people calling me barks

carry on

Completely agree.

I refer to him as B4 actually.

A reserve banana to B1 and B2.

Just waiting in line to fill those pyjamas.

Not too sure many great St.Kilda men have sued the club for supposed entitlements

Class act or provocative comment making media whore?

I donâ€™t think the class act will be required in the media past 2008 when he has told all his St Kilda stories and represents little more than nuisance value.

Agree-especially when he has every reason to be very bitter

Me neither
