So glad you've made 'peace' with the footy club... It was about time. Don't get me wrong, I won't pretend to agree with everything you say...and I must say, I am curious if you ever read the reactions on here after you let off some bombs in the media regarding the Saints or particular players... Ho...

gt , would u have a go at clearing up the reported 'exit banger out /in' comment ? ... and do u think 'loz' (her style of work) was a positive approach to the development of young men in the environment of a footy club ? Pretty much as it was meant. Banger selects himself in or out based on his per...

I'll keep it in mind

Quick question Grant. Do you think that our lack of a specialist fullback will have a significant imapact this year? Given there are not too many super full forwards maybe not but we still require a couple of power guys down there. Im still shitty we let Goose go. How handy would he have been over ...

Haha. Lot of myths in footy. he is close mates with my son Tyson. we had garage renovated into a granny flat because of 8 kids.

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: Cheers BobMurray. In retrospect its has assisted my coaching and people management, leadership in business. Short s...

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. BigMart!! A blast from the past. How are you champ? M...

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? Hi Dragit & cheers. At his stag...

speaking of milney all this talk about you wanting to give him the chop now can be settled :P good to see you back (i wasnt here during your last visits) Firstly I love the guy. Secondly he is probably the best small specialist forward to ever play the game, thirdly he is undisputably the best snap...

Oh wow, celebrity!

Be nice to me Grant, I gave you some material for FC....you owe me

I remember SainterK. Keep up the good work.

Looking forward to reading your views, opinions and (hopefully) insights etc on here over the up and coming season.

Cheers Sainternist. All the best

Hello Thommo Enjoyed watching you play when I was a kid. Thought you were a pretty decent CHB. Saints could use someone like you right now. Any chance? P.S. Was sorry to see you go as coach. Thought the club got it wrong leaving Moorabbin, but also in changing coaches. Would have had you there stil...

oh yeah, that's right ~ suppose with Grant's media commitments and eight children and myself kept busy tending to the ant farm and designing crop circles we've just not found the time

Always time for avid Saints

Top Stuff! 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 ...

barks4eva wrote:Now Grant where was it we left off again, can you bring me up to speed?

Hovering around court rooms for memory. Hope you are well and over your ailments. All the best.

Disappointed it was doubted

Hi Eastern. Just until its mutually enjoyable.

i.e preparing and up skilling a list for some Lyon-like "messiah" to take over the reins and reap the benefits?

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.

Hi Stinger! Long time no hear. Hope you are well. Youve done very well to stay on the site this long. How are your old sparring partners? Not going to miss the media at all. Im just completely over it along with all the associated crap. Dont underestimate Caro - she is smarter than most footy analy...

saintspremiers wrote:Thommo - do you think we can get Moorabbin back as our base again?

That's a huge key to any future for our club IMO.

One of the more terrible decisions. Hopefully they can do something groundbreaking at Moorabbin.

Im just completely over it along with all the associated crap. Dont underestimate Caro - she is smarter than most footy analysts. I dont understand how the likes of Caro, Robbo, and her ilk back up year in year out. AFL is such a provincial fishbowl and echo chamber, no wonder you are over it. Foll...

SaintPav wrote:How's the diet going Thomo? Does Saad still live in your garage?

Out the window. About ready to have another shedding! Saady has moved out. He is a great young man.

I disagree. There are enough monkeys reporting on the game. Its analysed to within an inch of its life. The real issues are off-field, which dictate the games direction. FIXturing, equalisation and other strategic decisions are critical factors that warrant being raised.
