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.

Yep. Other blokes need to demand his spot.

Showing his limitations tonight. Tackles hard but loose hands and headless chicken passing

If only the rest of the team had his guts and determination we wouldn't be having a go at Thomas.

I agree he does his job, but the players that he should be giving the ball to to add the class with the foot, are just not there. Grigg (15), Newman (6), Ellis (16) etc, these are the ones that need to step up a bit and show the run and carry, but they are not providing that at all.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Love his determination but playing on someone like Pendelbery Dimma you got it wrong. Maybe he should have been tagging someone slow like Ball.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Thomas, possible best player for us so far and he can't kick for *smile*.

That is so Richmond. :spin

One of our best again - sad
You have got to be kidding. Absolutely deplorable performance. The decision to play a limited, slow of mind player on pendlebury was even more deplorable. The decision to upgrade him over miles even worse. There are as many dumb off field decisions being made as there are on field….!
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Unskilled trier. Goes to ground. One paced. Nothing on the spread, poor by foot. Slow on transition. Ball watches. Poor mans Jackson, can only carry one of those types.

Tagged Pendles early got slaughtered. Bought in as insurance and ends up in best 22.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Battler. Nothing more. We aren't going forward with the likes of him having a big role.

But still our best. Makes a mockery of the stars and their fanboys/fangirls.

100% agree. Can see why Port delisted him. Too slow; ineffective disposal - would dominate slower secondary comp but found out in AFL. Exactly what's happened.

Thomas is not the problem with this team.
He's not the solution. Disposal is poor, anyway you cut it.
