Matt Thomas

Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Love what I saw. Hyper-competitive and tough. The level of intensity he played at was exceptional. Conca needs to learn to play with his kind of application and effort.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Love his intensity and aggression but unfortunately too slow and kicking suspect. Love in and under players like him who puts the body on the line unlike Grigg.

Conca was shocking, when he was in the middle. Ball watching all night and that miss tackle just wrapped up his night.
I'm not sure about conca.

23 disposals, 4 marks and 8 tackles not good enough then. While I agree it wasn't a red letter night for Conca, he had mates who were worse.

Stop with numbers, they mean *smile*. Grigg had 30 and Cotchin had over 35
He was *smile* last night even super coach picked it up

To you perhaps but they indicate activity and opportunity. Imagine a footy department without numbers if you can. :help

Hardwick didn't say he was *smile*, he said "I thought I'd get more out of Reece Conca and Brandon Ellis and unfortunately they didn't quite lift their game to the standard that was required." But don't let that upset a perfectly good rant mate.

Only reason he looked slow is he actually bothered to cover the ground. He was in everything and honestly he looks quicker than Dan Jackson and he is a first picked when fit.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Most of the team should look at Thomas's hard work ethic that showed in spades tonight. Looks like a find for us. All we need is another 21 with the same heart
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

In our top 3 most important players right now. I dunno if that's a good or bad thing.

I feel sorry for him because it looks like sometimes he's the only one trying to win contested ball and tackle. Takes some huge hits and keeps trucking along. 11 tackles tonight, next best 6. Golden boy 0.

Yep. Big tick to Thomas. Miles would've been good also.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Thomas showing the other guys how to play with effort.

Tough and hard as nails. Not very skillful however. Typical Richmond player.
 
Re: Pick 42 Matt Thomas

Our most consistent mid tonight.
Well done :clap

The old backhanded compliment.

Typical Richmond supporter.
