GEELONG coach Mark Thompson will be a key-figure in the appointment of the club's next VFL coach after Leigh Tudor left the post to join St Kilda yesterday.
The Cats' football operations general manager Neil Balme said the club learnt of the Saints' interest late last week and was now well advanced in its pursuit of a new coach.
"We've got a few things in mind and we're already down the path a fair bit (in appointing a replacement)," he said yesterday.
"We'll come up with something there pretty soon."

GEELONG has thrown a spanner into the VFL-finals works after it overran Sandringham to claim a pulsating 11-point comeback victory at Trevor Barker Oval yesterday.
Having all but declared their season over last week, the Cats are now just one win away from breaking back into the top eight for the first time in two months.
In arguably their most impressive win this season, the Cats came back from four goals down early in the third to kick seven unanswered goals to stun the red-hot favourite Zebras 11.12 (78) to 9.13 (67).
Debutant in-waiting Simon Hogan delivered his most complete performance from an already glittering year, collecting 41 disposals and six marks.

GEELONG forward Tom Hawkins last night delivered a brutally honest assessment of his seven-goal performance in Geelong's 11-point VFL loss to the Northern Bullants at Skilled Stadium.
Hawkins, with 17 possessions and nine marks, was clearly the Cats' best yesterday providing a strong presence in attack.
But when asked whether he believed he would receive plaudits from the senior coaches for his performance, Hawkins was refreshingly candid.
Although he kicked seven goals and was labelled Geelong's best by Tudor, Hawkins admitted he would not take a great deal of satisfaction from the match.

A SPRING-LOADED Ryan Gamble yesterday bounced straight back into senior contention with a standout performance in Geelong\'s 39-point VFL loss to the Casey Scorpions in Casey.
Playing his first VFL match of the season, Gamble unleashed his trademark repertoire of high marking and creative brilliance in attack to finish with four goals.
It was not enough to propel the undermanned, but gallant Cats to victory. They struggled to keep pace with their opposition as the match wore on.
Harry Taylor and Tom Hawkins, whose potential appearance in the VFL drew much anticipation, were noticeable late-withdrawals with general soreness.
