Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

His only 26, he looks 46. But how good is it to see 2 pack busters.
I hope he and miles get the call up.
Darrou has No Chance and Big O 50-50

Nailed it there, zips. When the game started and he popped up I kept thinking, 'who's the old bloke wearing 19?'
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Orren's only hope if via a need because of Maric injury, otherwise it's Thomas/Miles
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

I wonder if they will give Banfield a run in the Essendon game - they were pretty keen to grab him ahead of Brisbane in the rookie draft, would seem strange not to have him playing unless he's got a niggle or just hasn't performed on the training track.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Haven't seen any vision, so just going off the reports on here. Glad to see Empty had a solid first run. Go get 'em son!
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Loved his line in his interview with Richo about more people watching training at richmond than games at port.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Elevated so congrats to our very own Thomas the battle tank engine.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Thomas is just what the doctor ordered IMO... Cotch protection. Another handy BH acquisition.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

He will better then longergan, farmer and every other dud we have picked from Port.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

seems we have an exchange program with port

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Pleased for Thomas, I hope he's a late bloomer. 27 touches against the Bummers was a great effort, let's hope that translates to the season proper.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Don't dislike Thomas but I would've gone Miles.

Having said that fully expect him to play the first few rounds.

Same - I saw miles as a potential goal kicking rover which we have lacked since Foley got injured - we will see what Thomas has and hope he does well.

Agreed.
Was sick of seeing Cotch having to extract and do the run and carry, and being driven into the turf every second minute.
Hampson and Thomas the extractor will ensure we get majority first use and give it to the blokes who can use it.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

I just hope we see more than 5 kicks & 10 hand passes per match. This was always my gripe with Thomas at Port, he never really lifted his game to the next level. If he ups the ante and has a mini renaissance then all credit goes out to Hartley, if not then bring in Miles ASAP.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

being this is his last chance at his 2nd Club i dare say he'll lift on that, he has in the pre season & will hopefully keep that up in the season proper
