Grant Thomas - Saint or Sinner?

Jul 14th, 2019 7:00 AM

Grant Thomas is no stranger to controversy, in fact it shrouds most of his 123 game coaching career at the Saints. Did refusing to tow the party line cost him his career? That's up for debate, but don't expect him to change his uncompromising style anytime soon! He lifts the lid on the true story behind Blight's sacking, his rift with Demetriou and the culture he believes is still broken at St Kilda.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jul 30th, 2019 8:08 PM

Scott Watters thought he knew the challenges facing the Saints when he signed on the dotted line.

Walls is one of footballs true coaching doyens, and has a lifetime of stories to tell. He lifts the lid on his fallout with the Blues after premiership glory, the ‘Bad News Bears’, his role in the death of State of Origin and Carlton's current coaching search.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
