Searle was an assistant to Gary Ayres (great coach) so she couldn't be too bad. She is talented, but whether she was the best choice at the time is very questionable. In reality, she is not a senior assistant or anything like that so its not a massive deal IMO. Hopefully the club didn't pick her just because she is a chick that knows her s*** regarding AFL. Maybe the club was wanting to be seen as progressive and revolutionary in this area...who knows.

On a side note, having females involved in different areas of the club is a good dynamic just as it is for any business. As a bloke, we all know they think different to us holy men! :lol:

Great news for our AFLW team. Hopefully she can bring them plenty of success.

Must note that Gary Ayres has not been in the AFL system for over a decade. Question marks as to relevance. Good VFL coach and that's about it. Had massive amount of talent at his disposal at AFL level and couldn't salute.

As always, SP, you've summed the argument up more elegantly and in far fewer words than I ever could. Remind me to keep you away from my clients!

Yet in the most talent deprived period in the last 18 years at St.kilda we judge Peta Searle as useless in a minor development coach role .

Mind you in that period, Billings, Gresh, Dunstan, Membrey, Sinclair and Acres have come on and most notably, Riewoldt, Montagna, Dempster, Dal Santo and Goddard have moved on.

What was all this hoo haa about again.

Apparently it wasnt gender.

We've gone from 9th to 11th in our six year rebuild. The prosecution rests, CQS.

I will.concede on this point Drakey. Hoping for an immediate turnaround now that we have sorted out the staffing issues. Any idea who the replacement is yet?

No doubt there are some outstanding candidates. Or maybe the position will be redundant now our political agenda has been secured.

Go the Southern Saints.
