We'd have to add Thomas to the list too then wouldn't we - far more expected from them and they are equal with us.

Round 22 might be a better time to make that call. But Roos has a bigger question mark over his head at the moment.

FH, how can Roos have a bigger question mark on his head? Each year he has coached full-time (2003, 2004) he has taken the Swans to the finals with a list that has not included a priority or high draft pick for some time.

The bigger question mark is well and truely on Grant Thomas...came into coaching with not much of a back ground and not doing much with his current crop of superstars. Give Roos or a dad coaching an under 7s side a crack with St Kilda's playing list and they would proably be coaching a premiership side.

The reigning premiership coach getting sacked? Doubtful.

Last year we saw a big cleanout... as a result, the only coach under real pressure now is Malthouse.

Time will tell as to the fortunes of both these characters. I look forward to the results. I fear the Swans may have been just as premature in their choice of Roos as Saint-Kilda were in theirs of Thomas.
Neither have yet proved true value as yet. I think though that at the end of this year Roos may look even less attractive than the vastly underqualified Thomas.

Swans fans should be a little hesitant before throwing stones.

Roos has very large question marks over his head.

After tonites game I'd say thomas might be starting to look a bit shaky.

[footyhead]

I agree

Gee Footyhead. At 4pm tomorrow the Swans might be stting above the Saints on the ladder. Then I'd like to hear your views about why the Saints are playing so badly and whether Thomas should remain as coach. How can they be playing so badly with a team loaded with so much talent?

I think he'd be on firmer ground after the wins in the last couple of weeks.

I think that's unlikely.

I don't think he was in too much danger at the moment.

Name one other coach who you see as a realistic chance of being sacked this year.

There doesn't have to be one.
