When will some Saintly sanity prevail.

"Grant Thomas has won a major victory over his former club,(they have been) ordered to pay him more than $200,000 in leave and severance pay.

The payout includes $100,000 the club offered Thomas to keep quiet after his 2006 sacking, when the Saints feared he would destabilise the club by speaking to uncontracted players."

Has the world gone mad. 100 biggies to shut up and we pay teachers 60k to put up with a year of abuse! Add legal costs to the 200k and the Saints must feel a little sick in the stomach.

Still, on the upside, he didn't talk to uncontracted players, they're all still with the team and that is why St Kilda is such a power house now ... what's that, they are crap anyway...*%^& money down the gurgler.
