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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
