Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
I hope Thomas runs the game out better this week. He really struggled in the last half against the scum.

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Ok, didn't seem to have too much trouble , spreading to receive the handball and setup last goal of the night with a bomb from downtown to dusty :crackertiger said:

If his teammates give a bit more he won't be so tired at the end. He was one of very few who actually ran the game out!

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Yep rather him be tired and put in then come off not tired after not putting in. Any footballer at any level should ask themselves if they believe they put in everything they had when they come off the ground after the siren.

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Thought he played well today, has a passion to get the ball when it is in dispute. Only problem is, is his kicking lets him down

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Would have thought that is a damn big problem, recruiting a mature age player that can't kick? Tries hard, but certainly makes a mockery of Hardwick's credo when he first came to the club that we won't recruit players with poor kicking skills.

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Nothing wrong with his kicking. Cotchin barfs up worse and he is the golden child. Look elsewhere guys.

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Mate he kicked two today in the first quarter right in front of me that were lucky to hit his boot. *smile* woeful.
He goes hard and is a good extractor by my God his kicking is ugly, ugly, ugly.
I swear I remember Hardwick saying something like can't kick won't play when he was first appointed......................

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Another Tucky, sees ball, gets ball, doesn't have much of a defensive running game so on turnovers he's slow to man up, very costly when their mids run ahead of him, and puts our defenders under real pressure. He needs to lift or else will win another seconds medal.mainlandy said:
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
Let's be honest. We didn't recruit Thomas for his disposal skills. If you want a hard inside midfielder who can also dispose of the ball you have to look outside the rookie draft. For what Thomas has been recruited for he has done his job admirably this year.

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas
His intensity and attitude was the difference between losing by a couple of points and getting done by 60.
He played for the jumper. There were a few on the field that were looking for some early snow in the mountains.
There is something to these guys that give their all but suffer from absolute clangers. Cochin is another one. As long as Thomas keeps getting the pill and giving his all he is an automatic in for mine.
