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 !! :-))

id take Nick...Id pass on that over bloke :-))

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.

.....and don't lend him any money.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
