It was a short story?

Jontee, I am a very keen Patrick Whiter: please elaborate...

I am too, but you should take a look at the Patrick White Letters - two volumes. He was a mean, miserable [censored]

Letters not diaries

As a sidebar to this fascinating exchange I can offer a slogan I occasionally deploy having been married to an actress/ award winning author  and( obviously) meeting her cohort of friends ...." I am creative so normal standards don't apply to me"

I believe Patrick White to be the sine qua non validating this observation.

Allen Jones was a genius coach of young rugby players as well.

Funny old world really

Made me chuckle. I'm married to an award-winning author...I've been trying to teach her the basics of being a Housewife since I met her. That was a joke, Joyce...

Ross Lyon likes to have instant success. Not sure he'll get that quickly with the current saints list.

I mean last time he coached the saints he had Riewoldt, Hayes, DelSanto,Goddard and Montagna in his team. Not sure many current saints stack up to them.

Then don't forget he just organised his own exit out of there

oh well, looks like he'll be the 'aints problem now and not footy classified's problem. a silver lining at least.

you're quite brilliant, ross 

[Demonland 72,161]

Well played Saints Media.

Ross Lyon has fallen back in love with the Saints

Ross Lyon has run out of cash

Yeah but you have to coach St Kilda…

That work for the dole, hey. They make you do some demeaning things.

No tank yu.

This is really getting bizarre now, definitely NQR

[layzie 33,794]

I love it, it's going to sell a lot of papers. 

It's really not my concern if it works out or not. 

[rpfc 28,384]

Seems like a great process tho

Ha ha she tried to teach ME house keeping for the duration of the marriage

By chance she was off to buy property in Bali when Covid hit so we ended up  sharing house again during "stay at home orders".... which was a very long time, but I had  learnt to do my share of house keeping ,while Covid brought our son to stay and he's a chef so...I was the "dishy" as well .

No joking..(smile)

All of this has been orchestrated by an ex coach. Has been talking to Lyon for months, from what I understand

You could be onto something here.  One of his many nicknames is "Santa's Little Helper".

Wouldn’t suprise me at all. Heard him on the radio last Monday morning. 
Still holds some sway down there at The Moorabbin Asylum

Apparently Ernie Merrick, ex Melbourne Victory coach and mentor for Ratten at St K has been scathing about the club.

According to Damian Barrett the plan may have been hatched on Lindsay Fox's recent birthday cruise from NYC to  Montreal:
