well... Im not totally convinced that Riewoldt is the super duper player he''s made out to be.. but he's obviously good.

I am defintely sure that Thomas is not the great coach he seems to think he is !! :-))

NO THOMAS! I cannot stand the man and if he failed to take st kilda to finals with the list he had a few years back, he ain't gonna pull a rabbit outta a hat with ours. He'd probably try and steal all of Gardner's bullion too.

No. I don't like him and have found the media spat between him and Butter(!) unprofessional.

Riewoldt isn't where I'd be spending big bucks either.

I'm thankful that so many here said "no" to this........

Because Thomas would seem to be a hell of a sacrifice for one player that is not as currently fantastic as everyone says he is.

I am not sure the trade off would be in Melbourne's favour, as good as Reiwoldt could (can; will; should, whatever) be.

I'm not sure Thomas would be a great option as coach.........but I'm sure I have heard him say before that he wouldn't coach anywhere else, and that his heart lies with the Saints.

I can't see Riewoldt leaving the Saints either.

I am a new poster but have been a keen reader of this site for several years.

Finally I have something to add..........

You may just find Butterrs & Gardner mix in the same circles (ie: Atheneum Club & Brighton) leading to a natural Thomas dislike.

I played when Thomas was coaching in the amatuers and from first hand experience think he should go back to HR Consulting.

Err, Grant THomas made the finals almost every year he was at St Kilda didnt he? Having said that, the man is an appaling waste of space, I'd throw in my membership if he came across in any form...

In terms of coaching, i'll have ND and Thomas similar.

However ND's a top bloke while Thomas is right right right down the other end of [censored] country.

If ur [censored], make sure ur damn good coach and GT nowhere near there.

I know I won't get much support with this but I actually rate Thomas as a coach. He managed to get the Saints into the finals while having to deal with injuries as bad as we've hd, he's also one of those blokes who just think differently than everyone else around him, which can be an advantage. He lost his job because of a personal relationship going sour, not because he's a bad coach.

I highly doubt that we'll get Reiwoldt if he becomes our coach though.

Jacey, only you & Demon Dave have taken the initiative to assess Thomas on his football credentials.

He has by far a better record than what Daniher ever delivered. He transformed St. Kilda into a regular finals contender for the first time since 94. Before then, they were nothing more than a dead carcass and a joke. He also broke the clubs internal records for most games won since the clubs only premiership in '66.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
