Saints axe Thomas

September 12, 2006 ST Kilda today sacked Grant Thomas as coach of the AFL club.

The club made the announcement four days after the Saints' season ended with the Friday night elimination final loss to Melbourne.

Thomas took over from Malcolm Blight as coach during the 2001 season and guided the Saints to the 2004 and 2005 preliminary finals.

He also played 72 games for the Saints from 1978-83 and another 11 for the Kangaroos and Fitzroy.

Assistant coaches John Longmire (Sydney), Mark Harvey (Fremantle) and current Saints assistant Matt Rendell are the early candidates to take over from Thomas.

Daryn Cresswell - said on the Footy Show last Thursday that he had been approached by a couple of Victorian clubs.

Gary O'Donnell - Might be a possibilty but may remain at Essendon on the cusp of Sheedy leaving.

Guy McKenna would be a strong show!

Moorabbin.

Dropping off his resume.

Hope he subscribes to the club's 'core values.'

Posted: **Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:17 pm**

I would go with Cresswell

Posted: **Tue Sep 12, 2006 6:38 pm**

Harvey for me. See Rendell's name mentioned too, but I cant see it happening.

Wonder I Rehn will put his hand up.

Posted: **Tue Sep 12, 2006 7:23 pm**

Positivwe move by the saints they were never going to win a flag with Thomas

I would not be shocked if Don Pyke is in the Mix, I also believe Chris Bond from the WB is highly regarded and he too might have a sports science back ground same as Craigy, given Saints history with poor injury mgt, he might be in the mix

Took St Kilda what, 10 weeks to sack Blight, but 5 & 1/2 years to work out what the rest of the football public knew. That Cornflakes couldn't coach.

Thats the first leg of the treble.
Next stop playing home games in Twoheadmania
And lastly...........
