Doug Thomas

[Adelaide Hawk]

Is he and West Adelaide parting company after all these years? Anyone know anything about it?

[smac]

Only what I just heard on the dynamic duo. It will be interesting to see how this evolves - can't see him disappearing quietly!

If true I would imagine Kg would be shattered, it takes me back when Kerls was sacked from Westies, Kg said he would never again support his bloods

Which time? Kerls has always joked he is the only man in footy to be sacked by the same club 3 times

[Dog_ger]

It won't happen Fella's. Only a Pine Box will stop the Thomas....!

How many times has KG done his banana about something - then the next day flipped over on it !!!!

Plenty me thinks

my mail (which is NOT from a credible source) is that Doug is quite ill, with a leg infection, and may have only been at work a few days in the last few months.

Was a funeral of a West Adelaide stalwart yesterday (and 100% apologies, I have forgotten the name of the past State player who passed away) and i think that Doug couldn't even attend the funeral, but passed on a message.

Heard a few times on radio Westies had lost a former player, think his name was Geoff Bray or something along those lines ..

Was on C10 news tonight, he's gone but no real reason given except for Health

[dash61]

Doug has been dismissed by the West Adelaide Football Club. (As reported on the news)

Guess What

Doug is still in charge of the other section of the club and guess where the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ come from, and at this stage is there until December at least!!!!

So really its only half a big story, Fun and Games may have just begun

[Wedgie]

Christ, Im glad this got out (especially with the details on C10 about him getting the sack) as I was rang today at work and sworn to secrecy on what happened. Now I can discuss openly!

[Strawb]

Dash you are correct and we all know what can and might happen with that. So with all this mess slightly sorted out Westies might recruit some better players and Start winning some games.

[dash61]

lol


It now has become more of a tangled mess

[dinglinga]

i heard earlier today regarding dougie but there may be some legal action .....

according to the westies constitution .... wait and see

Well wedge man go your hardest - will make for interesting reading !!!

[Dutchy]

Seems to fit in well with a conversation I had in Feb with probably the best West player to come out of Richmond Oval.....Quote - "Ive never seen him look so bad, I dont like to say it but it looks like he is.........................."

Might be best for everyone, especially Doug, if he moves on and takes it easy in his twilight years

[Jimmy]

wow...if its his health, then its best for him to go...but westies need this more than anything.

[Booney]

Rumours of ill health have been rife in the district for some time,if it is true and Doug is battling then no-one would like to hear of that.One of the great stalwarts of the SANFL,and regardless of the clubs position in any era,he and every one like him is invaluable to the club they support.If any one assosciated or close to Doug reads this I am sure we would all pass on our wishes to him for a speedy recovery.

I wonder if West Adelaide will try to recruit one of their former players back to lead the club,he is in a position of influence down near the beach somwhere,I wonder if the club he is now running is as keen on getting rid of him now(they are 4th on the ladder) as they were last year when the club sacked the then coach?


Cue Borat,TB,Tassie.....

No WAY will westies get in Darren Chandler we might need a General manager but me thinks we will look elsewhere for one of those.
How come Glenelg lost so much money Mr. Chandler?
Thay game me a rubber stamp with my name on it to sign the checks.

I'm not touching this with a barge pole, but the GFC has been making (modest) profits Strawb.
