Geez who in their right mind would get Frawley, such an outstanding record in taking Richmond to the wooden spoon and record losing streak. Garry lyon has also been mentioned, I don't know what he'd be like but it is probably inevitable he coaches at AFL level eventually, maybe he is waiting for Neale Daniher to screw up again though.

I watched St Kilda last Friday and West Coast the week before and St Kilda have got a few more years before they can seriously challenge. Harvey, Peckett, Thompson, Hamill, Gehrig are all getting pretty old and tired, and Kositche (no idea how to spell) is just so fragile. They might push up to 3rd or 4th at the best next year but it's more likely they are the team Richmond knock out of the eight in 2007.

FRAWLEY?

Fk NO!!!!

I think Harvs looks the goods in my book, new blood, new ideas. I'd rather have him than some washed up hack from a previous life.

You told me yesterday that Grant Thomas was an out of touch, balding, fat drunk that couldn’t win a flag with the under 9 West Dandenong Shleppers*

In other news, paulie c is the next timmy maher or phil cleary.

good riddance to thomas. got such a talented list and the best he could produce was a prelim final appearance?!

always the coach who suffers the wrath.

i cant really be bothered going in to detail, but for anyone who is interested in my opinion i will share it with them in person. In summary Thomas is a businessman, he is a motivator and an excellent speaker. Ron Butterss is a typical brighton richkid, who hasnt had things gone his way, therefor he has obviously just lashed out at the closest head to the chopping block.

this really begs the question of whether a footy coach should have a technical ability and knowledge surrounding footy, or whether the coach is a leader and a motivator.

Kind of the difference in business between a leader and a manager. I personally think that Thomas falls into the 'leader and motivator' coloumn and may not have the technical footy ability or knowledge that an ayres or former afl legend would have. Hence why it would be important for the staff arouund him to be clued up with footy knowledge, which may have been the downfall as i dont think the assistant and coaching aids are as experienced as they could be.

Thomas has a deep love and a great passion for St Kilda and that is truely evident. Ron Butterss doesnt. He is a money hungry ****, who has taken his personal opinions of Thomas and exorcised his power to cut him down before he has truely had a chance to deliver.

9 players above the age of 25 and 22 players at the age of 22 or younger. We are stil a developing squad, and its unfortunate that Thomas is not still there to lead us to where we are heading....

one can only hope that this will not have too much of an impact to the player squad...

To what extent can you really blame the coach for an underperforming side? Honest question since I know SFA about AFL...

Isnt it more to do with the players abilities, or lack thereof?
