Its not his fault. Its always injuries that stops this team to reaching what it requires. The premiership. How many times does he have to wait till he gets a premiership. Injuries stuff it all up.

Injuries are no excuse. He should have gone 2 or 3 years ago.

He was sacked he did not resign. He did not want to leave.
 
well the staints are now fav for 2007 flag
great to see this happen to thomas as he got blighty sacked
 
I heard this morning that Cresswell was going to replace Thomas. At the time i didn't think to much of it becuase i didn't think Thomas would get the ar*e.
 
never rated thomas, a half decent coach would have done amazing things with that talented side but thomas has wasted a golden oppurtunity to develop st kilda to a real powerhouse side, i wish collingwood had some of st kilda's talent

i dont think there will be much shifting, st kilda has done enough shifting to ensure that they are going in the right direction, best decision with thomas gone, should have done it years ago

Bit of a shock, I wonder what this means for Harvey playing on? I am still undecided on Thomas. He had vision and fostered the players together to sacrifice for the sake of the group. I hope the next coach can carry that forward, or there will be too many players and too little salary cap.

Thanks Thommo for what you achieved in your time.
 
injuries is no excuse, in fact having the injuries they had and no one to cover them is a GOOD reason to get rid of him.

A good coach would develop players to step in, look at the Crows, they have about 5 of their top ten players are out yet they are kicking butt because Neil Craig has got the 2nd string players up to AFL standard.
 
We did still make two premilinary finals and were in positions to win both of them with injuries. It is debatable that we could have won without having nine injured players in the second half against Melbourne. However they may be over used as an excuse but they have had an effect. Not a Brisbane like effect, but some all the same.

I really do hope I am proved wrong cooperjai!
 
Great move Saints. Right thing to do. Thomas is a nice guy, but he ain't premiership coaching material. Had too much on his plate also.

Have to say the greatest thing about the Saints today is that they handled it all so perfectly. Smooth and clean. Well done. Made St Kilda look like a professional outfit. Funny how things change, Saints look like how Carlton used to look a decade ago and Carlton look like how the Saints use to handle things.

Next St Kilda coach will be the one that likes the taste of butters. That's how Grant Thomas got the job, liked to take an extra dollop of butters. :cool:
