I was busy making a big list of handwritten ruck and clearance stats to show GT.

On year 10 'Central Australia Trip', in Alice Springs. About 5 people ran towards me with the day's newspaper. Couldn't log on here unfortunately, it was about 1 week into the 2 week trip. Although the trip was absolutely great, one of the best times of my life.

I was home and heard GT was having a press confrence wanted to go Gym at 4.30 and the interview was supposed to happen at 4.00 so I waited.

Press Conference didn't happen till around 4.45.

Fair to say I was an hour late.

Got a phone call about 4 o'clock and jumped straight on here.

Spent the next two days glued to SS and discussing every new development.

I was surprised but not shocked, and quickly moved on with optimism about what the future held.

yup you are right - Thomas sure did.

Glad he is gone. Butters next.

Just how long before the spectre of Thomas comes back to haunt STKFC is a moot point though.

We will never be rid of either of them and their stench.

saw it on the channel 10 news, and thought "wow, fancy that"

was surprised, but not too disappointed, thought it was about 2 years too late

Mum told me when I got home from school that therr was a press conferrnce about to happen.

It was very confronting seeing GT not in his St.Kilda polo at the press conference.

I remember being busy with my website because of the finals and when we lost things settled down so I thought a day in the garden would be a good idea. Strolled leasurely back inside and heard something on the radio - went to SS and realised that all hell had broken loose.

We seem to have a nack of pinching the headlines when others are continuing on in September - one day it will be us for the right reasons - hope I'm still alive to see it.

I was attending a food and wine expo with my work collegues ( and boss) when my work and personal mobiles went off at the same time I could not concentrate and my boss said what was wrong as I went a funny white colour!! I was in such a hurry to get home to see the news I got a speeding fine... Not a good day

Was in a meeting at work - got told by the bloke next to me who had just received an sms on his mobile!! I actually just walked out of the meeting in total disgust was on the verge of giving up on the saints!! Just unbelievable!! The appointment of RL satisfied me to some extent as I firmly believe he is an excellent coach.
