I can confirm that this is GT, I checked via twitter...

G'day grant, thanks for popping by, I won't blow smoke like the others about your playing career, but its nice to have you on board.

What do you think about Roo's extra year extension, will his knee hold up?

me too.....never wanted to see him get the flick...said it was a mistake at the time...seen nothing since to make me change my mind either.........although i'm warming to the current coach.... :wink:
Of course you are, but i just wait until he leaves. Then suddenly Scott will be the worst person in the world, ala Ross Lyon.
depends on the cicumstances surrounding him leaving....i still love gt..... anyway you do your own thinking....leave mine to me thanks.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: ...you have no idea what i think or would do....and yes. lyon is a prick....

GT

Love your work, forthright in the media is something rare.... Some brilliant one liners... And your open condemnation of some of the AFL's decisions was something that kept me tuning in late Mondays, your frustrations were/are shared by many.

The only thing i'd ever ask the "real" Grant Thomas is how did he go from the best CHB in the league into a spud who went from club to club..

mind boggling really.... :roll:


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

Quite possibly could be, and would not surprise me one bit.. Just know there are people out there who would fake to be a high profile person for attention etc.
Really?

Hope he is better than that and I think he is. He is smart, knows footy, good with people. Just hope he really asserts himself.

Loved you on the Tellie. Engaging and always entertaining. I liked the anticipation of what you were going to say next.
I dont want to make this thread about Caro but a good friend of mine was media manager for the pies for a long time and she was always gobsmacked at how much caro knew about supposedly private things - so she does have her sources!
But back at the mighty sSints land - certainly interesting times ahead. Noone can ever say being a Saints fan is boring! Some intriguing times we are in. Saints are a great unknown at present. A transition period .
Hi Goro. Glad u liked the anticipation cos I had no idea what I was going to say - much to everyones displeasure I think. Definitely one of the most critical years in its history. I have grave fears for the Saints in Melbourne with the clubs decision to sell itself to Wellington. The AFL - and more particularly Melbourne - cannot sustain 10 clubs here, so something has to give. The club has been very poor at securing major sponsors over the last 3 years or so and that has put major pressure on the revenue and bottom line. So when Andy and Gilligan wave a seducing "get outta jail" card under the Board/Exec they snapped it immediately. On top of that to retain our credibility and respect finals is a must.

Remember getting to Moorabbin early to watch the Ressies and seeing Thommo play at full back. And in an era where 99.9% of the senior comp were still wearing black boots, there was Grant in his bright red pair :D

Also remember watching Plugger play one of his first, if not his first, intra club practice matches on Thommo. And seeing the big kid from Ballarat slotting 4 majors and thinking "we may have something here" :wink:
It was all part of the process of giving young Plugger some confidence. The fact he was too darn good had a bit to do with it also!!
