What is Grant Thomas' problem??

[MIKE85]

Well old mate GT was at it again last night. First of all Garry commented on the fact the eagles pies game could be the grand final preview, GT says no straight out, the eagles wont make it. Fair enough if that's his opinion but then a few minutes later Caroline Wilson makes a point to GT about how good the eagles were against the pies and she says "I know you have issues with them grant". This surely has to tell us all that he has some sort of underlying problem with our club in general, possibly because we were successful when he couldn't do anything with the saints with such a good list. I know I'm bringing up old points but I just thought it was interesting to hear carro make note of his obvious hatred towards us.

Yeah that made me take notice, but the more i think of it i couldn't care less what Grant Thomas thinks. I wish we would hear more about the Eagles on shows like footy classified but with people like Grant Thomas on their panel it's no wonder. This little man has shown nothing but bitterness towards the St Kilda Football club and some of it's players since they gave him the can. The only reason he is on Footy Classified is because he has a jaded view on things and that attracts controversy which in turn can attract viewers. But he doesn't have an excellent football brain. When he speaks i don't listen in awe, truth is if it wasn't for his bitterness towards the AFL, St Kilda and now us it seems he wouldn't even have a job in media. God knows not one club even in the VFL came running after him when St Kilda gave him the boot. That tells you all you need to know.

Good on Caro for calling him out! I've gained a tiny amount of respect for her now!

He is obviously still very bitter about what happened to him at the saints but he couldn't achieve anything with such a good list so he had to go. Cant wait if we make the GF and if we win it to see his excuses.

 

[Tiff]

Yeah there's lots of people who hold grudges I guess due to the fact we one a premiership with a bunch of crack heads and bikies.

 

[WestCoastWeasel]

I think one of his problems is none of his pants or shirts fit him - i swear he gets fatter everytime i watch it.

 

[verily]

i usually don't mind him as a point of difference

However he is doing a bit of a Robert Walls - i.e. forms an opinion a few years ago (like when we sucked) and doesn't watch any of the more recent games (particularly live) to revise his views.

Throw in the fact that our ruck combination is our competitive advantage and its not surprising that he can't get his head around the Eagles success

 

[FLETCH41]

The man is an a grade douche! Him and Luke Darcy should get together and see what other crap they can spin about us !! Who would wear the pants in that relationship???

 

[Dark Sharks]

Old dwayno seems to have settled down a bit on his hate for the eagles lately, anyone else notice?

Hasn't bought up darling or the eagles tanking for pick 26 shit since last year.

I think it all comes down to his love for Naitanui. "Kerr bombs long inside the eagle 50, here comes Naitanui and... I JIZZ IN MY PANTS"

You speak the truth.

Spot on - I don't think it's a bias or hate thing, I think he just hasn't caught up...

If its not a hatred for us why would carro bring up the point that he has issues with us, he didn't give her a chance to elaborate on them, just made fun of her lischp and went on his way.

I took it more as he doesn't rate us - which is a different thing IMO

 

[Doughboy]

I dont think that either of them would wear any pants, to busy circle jerking one another

 

[ADF13]

yeah that was my interpretation as well

 

[WCEprod]

He looks like his face is slowly melting in to his chest. Can't stand him.

 

[Something more...]

Some time before the April comment, he said in reply to another panelist who wondered how WCE rose so quickly - "I know how they did it" then more quietly "They tanked". I remember this because my immediate reaction was who the hell tanks for a compromised draft, knob.

But a few weeks ago, he said that he had no idea how WCE were able to turn it around so quickly with a genuine sense of wonder, indicating the ignorance of our team that others have posted.

He seems to sit in this unique position where he is paid to comment on the footy each week but he doesn't actually watch much of it.

 

[BigBirds1987]

Are we talking about Grant Thomas the guy who seriously failed as a coach?

I dont think anyone really values this crabs opinion.

 

[The_Eagles]

Think he was right in the end ... We are looking good for 2013 or 2014 tho I reckon

Deserves a report.

Right about what exactly? Many topics have been discussed throughout the thread...
