Grant Thomas on SEN.....

[tess]

It was something like as I will not say I am quoting him 100% accurately talking about The Collingwood Football Club "they don't exist or work for Premierships". I found it interesting as a lot of respected posters on here, on LSD on *cough*Nicks*cough* and Extreme Black and White have said that a lot over the past few years about the Club focusing on off field more than on field.

I don't rate Thomas at all as a Coach/commentator but just thought it was interesting as others do rate him and yet NONE of the other panelists including Dermie and Huddo didn't pull him up on that comment.

1 flag in 50 years doesn't read well.

 

[didaka]

I heard the comment.

Made sense to me.

 

[Kirby]

What do they exist for then?

What do they do to change? Do they sack the coach?

CONTEXT:

He was talking about us suspending Didak and Shaw. He said this morning that it was as if we exist to uphold values not to win premierships. He actually corrected himself saying that Collingwood exist to win premierships and we should have thought about that before making a hasty decision.

No one pulled him up because they are used to him making such outlandish statements. He has come out and said he hates them. He does not rate Western Bulldogs one bit. They are used to him.

Does have a Point, We did make a Descion before we knew the Full Story.

Then we could of Given Dids and Heater a 2-3 Week Ban

Grant thomas was a shitful coach and even worse in the media let him sink the boots in.

With the list he had he should be a celebrated premiership coach not an annoying ****wit on radio

 

[Rohan25]

I don't mind him making outlandish comments. We can't have a media filled with Rohan Smith/Glenn Jakovich types who just want to praise up their mates.

Says it all really very disapointing if we dont win in the next 3-5 years with this list then i may die before we win one and im only 19

 

[Didaics]

Neither did Geelong till last year

Better than 1 flag in 110 years.

Thomas is a dud of a person, coach and is a media idiot.

It's still one in 45 for Geelong

Noone ever brings up 1 in 75 for Sydney. For me 1 in the last 18 is the more relevant piece of info.

I think we probably would have won on Friday if Didak and heater were playing - there's a pretty good start, probably already has cost us top 4. More pain to come from teh decision and it will go down in footy history and be the subject of countless Colliwobbles jokes! Unless of course we somehow win the ship this year

 

[Frederlick]

Grant Thomas! Who cares, he was a nothing who rode on Buttresse's coat tails , failed utterly, sued Buttress and now makes a living as a radio muppet. Anyone been to Moorabbin lately? Looks like Kabul without the US dollars, what did Thomas exist to do other than make money? Certainly wasn't to have a clue about football and as though he was ever at a club that knew anything about success anyway.

I had to do a Delivery there a few months ago and yeah it was just yukky. The "trophy" cabinet was a sight, a glass cabinet you would expect to see at a Local Footy Club with their Pre-season cup from a few years ago pride of place.....

One thing I must say was they were very friendly and helpful, that was different at an AFL Club.

That makes Sydney 1 in the last 3 and Geelong 1 from 1.

 

[deck]

But it is still a case of manipulating statistics to favour your argument. It is 2 in 50 but 1 sounds better.

 

[Fridayonmymind]

Thomas struggles in the media. I think he feels uneasy if he is slowly being forgotten. No wonder St Kilda failed with their best list ever under him

 

[Jabso]

Exactly. It is more relevant than 1 in 70 odd.

You can use stats to prove anything 75% of all people know that.

That quote from the simpsons has some merit
