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.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
