What's he is going to do with only 2 or 3 picks to work with, not his usual 23

SOS appointed list manager at the Saints
- Thread starter btoz_01
- Start date
Maybe, but he's had about 5,500 early first round picks during his time, been sacked twice n ultimately achieved three fifths of SFA in that time. Much of what happens at Carlscum since he left there hangs on the players they've poached in recent years to support n supplement all the early first round stars that are already fully matured.

I assume they’ll be appointing Brian Waldron to replace him….St Kilda head of football Geoff Walsh resigns from role for personal reasons

SOS in Walsh out ...nearly at the same time ...................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
Well they clearly can!
He started at Carlton in 2014, finished in 2019 and that list looks ready to mature into a finals making side now as well and probably should have started last year, despite all the coaching upheaval in those years.
People can pick out all the micros of individual draft picks and priority picks but if the macro of a list manager is to create a list capable of playing finals and contending then he is miles ahead of most.
I like these bits -

Talk about excuses, almost half the bloody sides make finals. And low benchmarks.
I wonder who is included in "most"!
it can be hard for outsiders to truly judge ones performance , but hey that wont stop us
my gut feel is SOS wants the spotlight and knee jerk is too big a part of his decision making
how much has Carlton paid for Jack Martin and the long list of GWS players
you sort of get the feeling that its too close to what we pay for Tom , Dion ,and our 2 GWS and they are NOT same - same
so where does the difference fall out ? Depth
we had significant injuries during the year in 2019 & 2020 and still made the finals , thank you depth players
the rest is history and those depth players are the likes of Miles , Lloyd, Chol , CCJ , Egg etc
We dont see or hear much from our football dept. , they don't seek the spotlight
Carlton finished last the year he took over and the next four were Brisbane, Gold Coast, Essendon and St Kilda.
Brisbane have done well in the interim but if I had to pick which one of them will contend for a flag next I'm with Carlton.
Will be very interesting to revisit this topic in the next 2 seasons I reckon.
If Curnow/Weitering/Mackay and Walsh stay healthy it will go a long way to them performing well. If you hindsight drafted 2015 you would likely draft 2 of the 3 he did. And Oliver.
His best work may have been hood-winking the tigers over Chris Yarran and getting PIck 19. But he wasted it on David Cunningham.
The year he took over was 2014- the Blues finished 13th, above the likes of the Lions, the Dees and the Dogs. They won 7 games and drew 1, with a % of 89. In his last season at the Blooze, they finished 16, winning 7 games with a % of 84. the following year they won 7 games again, and in 2021 they won 8 games. In his 5 years in charge they made no progress.
Waiting for SOS to recruit the players he recruited from Carlton, that he originally recruited from the GWS, because the man just won't admit that he's wrong.
I am actually coming around to the idea that Silvagni will be a good appointment for the Saints. Assuming Silvagni can replicate his success at Carlton, and assuming 2023 is the year all good work pays off and they make the finals, St. Kilda fans should be making sure they don't book holidays in Sept 2031.
