I didn't say he was sacked...very different to being pushed. I know of many people who have been told that it 'might be in their best interests to find alternative employment' and they have a certain time period to do that. I think Grant did a fair job in extremely difficult circumstances, and under no circumstances do i think it had anything to do with the Presidents appointment.

There is a very bad rumour going around that Grant ‘Cornflakes’ Thomas will take over this role. Please just let that be a bad rumour

He was actually pretty impressive the way he handled his departure from St Kilda.

I'd be willing to give him a chance.

Pretty impressive how he handled contracts as well - would get my vote.

agree with you TBB , and not only his departure, have been impressed with many aspects of the guys character and the way he presents himself.

you're agreeing will people far too much since the election DU.

it's scaring me

I wouldnt mind GT either as football manager..
Seems the ideal position for someone like him..
Ive heard this rumour too but didnt give it much credibility

Be afraid be very afraid

I thought he said on leaving St K that he couldn't see himself ever getting involved at another AFL club...

Grant Williams was actually made an offer far to good to refuse by a large company asking him to return to being an Engineer. A huge part of his previous Work life prior to joining the AFL and then later CFC, involved designing off-shore oil rigs in Australia and around the world.

With a young family the new offer was simply to good to pass up.

So endeth the speculation and innuendo.

Yep.

He's a very good football manager with the way he handled most of their contracts and kept that list together. But I don't know how he'd react to Carlton having a couple of young ruckman on the list.

Did Grant Thomas handle the Hamill contract renewal?

I don't want some wanker that is gunna put those type of nooses around our necks.

Remember that Grant Thomas kept a very VERY good relationship with his players - and in particular the younger players. Although his coaching skills might not exactly be up to scratch his people skills aren't too bad at all...

...GT doesn't - but this in particular reminds me of Stan Alves, one of the best public speakers I've met... not to mention a nice guy. Again, couldn't coach a footy team though.

GT has a history of shafting senior coaches...








where do I sign?

Looking forward to seeing our potential realised.

I think he played a huge part in convincing Gehrig, Penny, Voss, and Gram to join St Kilda.

And Dal Santo for Hall.

We don't need that sort of person at Carlton.

Will he exit Denis in?

He'll put in place a process to follow going forward, and with the correct KPI's and world's best practice, create a positive outcome for all concerned stakeholders.

Is anyone in a position to shed any light on the process being followed in recruiting a replacement? Has the position been advertised, are interviews underway? Who has ownership of the process? Is it Malouf, is Williams himself involved, or is it in the hands of a subset of the board and/or football departments...? One would think we'd want to move on this as soon as possible.

I for one would be very keen to hear of any interest (or lack thereof) from Grant Thomas. Would be ideally suited, in my opinion.

by implementing a well documented strategic approach...

- that killed me GH
