THERE has been another football department departure at St Kilda, with assistant coach Jaymie Graham leaving the club.
It is believed Graham is keen to return home to his native state of Western Australia.
The luckless former West Coast player, whose AFL career was ruined by injury, has held a development coaching position since he joined coach Scott Watters at St Kilda in October 2011.
His departure comes in a period of transition for both the club's football department and the playing list.
CEO Michael Nettlefold resigned from his post last Friday and will leave the club once an appointment is made to replace him.
Football manager Greg Hutchison was made redundant last month, with his duties redistributed through the football department run by head of football Chris Pelchen.
President Greg Westaway has also been replaced by AVJennings boss and club board member Peter Summers, after serving his maximum term of six years.
The presidential transition was made as of last month's best and fairest count.
There is also speculation over the future of veteran stars Nick Dal Santo and Leigh Montagna although the club has moved to hose down suggestion Nick Riewoldt is on the trade table.
Pelchen confirmed that there was no chance the captain would leave the club during this year's trade period.
"Nick Riewoldt will not be traded," Pelchen said in a statement on the club's website on Monday.
