Rumour from BF:
"Tiges targeting an in-and-under midfield player from an interstate club... one of our assistant coaches made contact with him this week regarding his contract status, having prior relationships with him at his former club. Word is said player is keen to come home to Melbourne. Nice and cryptic for you all :)"

Just followed the thread, and if the poster is correct then here are some bread crumbs:
Age 22-27 (so not Caddy)
Not Salopek, Grey, Boak, Shuey, Redden, Banfield, Rockcliff (not who exactly there isn't from Victoria but poster just said none of them)
Let the speculation begin.

Ben McGlynn?

Matt Thomas

rumours abound. :thumbsup
trade period, free agency, draft...

show about it all.

Making Williams the connection.
To be honest I haven't watched enough of Port to have an established opinion on him. Who's keen?
-
Maybe the coach knows??
Or how bout jack?? Rattle his cage
-
Plays tough, not sure he is that well skilled, poor mans Tuck I would say. Is he a Free agent?

Oh my stuffing god. Thomas is a monkey. Russel is a monkey. Chaplin is soft and inconsistent and who is the other spud we're chasing? Lachie Hansen?

im expecting Blair to pull a rabbit
out from somewhere. :thumbsup
-
Is Thomas a spud, Coach?
I have no real opinion of him.
-
Think Tim Fleming. This dude has a good crack and has played some good games but skills are poo and he's just not good. That's the best way I can put it. He might be an upgrade on some of our remaining duds but I couldn't see him running out on grand final day for Richmond.
-
Yep, Thomas is a battler. No other way to put it.

And now in the Herald-Sun:
Richmond remains active in trade discussions, with the club showing interest in a third South Australian player. The Tigers are already in the box seat to secure backman Troy Chaplin from Port Adelaide, and Crows' goalkicker Chris Knights.
But Richmond is also understood to have shown interest in Power hard-nut Matt Thomas.
The 25-year-old is out of contract at the end of the year and has had a one-year offer from the Power.
The hardworking midfielder averaged 15 possessions a game this season but has shown elite defensive skills over his career. Last season he averaged the 11th most pressure acts in the AFL.

-
Elite defensive skills :clapping
-
Elite defensive skills :clapping
Yeah, that's because all they could do for the last two seasons is defend!
-
very tough footballer is thomas, not sure he passes he passes the kicking tests though.
I guess it all comes down to if we can get jim for free as a free agent, ( wouldnt want him to cost us a draft pick )
-
The kid could potentially keep Jackson out of the side! Get it done Tigers :clapping
-
Is it a potential tagger they see in this fellow, a possible an upgrade on Jackson perhaps?
-
No, No and NO!
If you think he will replace Jackson you are wrong.
Thomas will push out players like Conca, Ellis, O'Hanlon our young skillful players.
We need to recruit skillful players, not below average disposal players. We have enough of them already!
-
This is now bordering on the absurd.why are we so driven to recruit anything with an Adelaide flavour.Its not as if either Adelaide club have a culture or style we are desperately trying to emulate.
-
Why I am starting to get the feeling people supposedly in the "know" think we are closer to the top 4 than we actually are?
I understand what we need to fill the holes (eg Chaplin as a defender) but I don't get why we'd go after a player like Thomas who on the surface seems to be an "OK" to average sort of a player not a star. I also acknowledge we have done very well recently with those we've picked up form other clubs
But seriously I'd rather draft kids and develop them than go overboard with top up types
-

I agree torch, sure if jackson had retired, filya boots , spot on, he d stand in the way of o hanlon getting a game...he s just a player, not bad but no star either. He d come at a cost that i certainly wouldnt want to p art with

Because we allready have the youngest list of core players in the afl and through free agency these senior guys who will get the job done will cost us nothing in draft picks
-
thomas isnt a free agent though...not so bad if he was...would cost r2/3 draft pick...too IMHO :shh
-
Like the decision the kid has balls the size of Morro can't get enough of the tuck / morris type of players rough diamonds always good to have a few he will definatley add to the quality
-
Depth this year was an issue, whats wrong with going for players who can fill our depth?
If he costs nothing then why say no?
-

Agree popes eye! We were shown up big time with our depth this year, we can't rely on our first a second year players to come in and fill holes. If we can get him for quids then why not? At worst he's going to keep the presure on someone to keep there spot in the senior side.
-
He'll cost something though.

disagree WP.
While i agree Thomas types should not be for us im all for taking our fair share of top up players as long as we stay strong in the nd taking kids with our early to mid picks.
its all about cost imo.
something like this
9 - nd or caddy basically we draft a kid either way.
29 - nd
31 - nd or tom lee 21 yo and still a kid
50 - nd or 22 yr old and under aagin either way looking after the long term with kids.
after this point we could target 3 or 4 players older than 22 thus giving us a real good balance and we stay heavily involved in the nd with good picks.
69 - 22 yo kyle martin just won the vfl b&f. ready to go mid.
psd - moloney would instantly add mid field grunt and depth.
fa - chaplin
fa - knights.
in the past the real mistake has been trading out of the early to mid part of the draft for short to mid term top ups.there is absolurly nothing wrong with taking your share f mature players as long as they are up grades on what you cut agian the key is the cost.
it amazes me noone it seems wants to see moloney at the club yet they want to play finals. moloney would cost us nothing but his wages.we should be heavily into his type.as i said he would instantly add mid field grunt and experience and improve our depth in a stroke.
-

Then everyone would complain we need a Thomas replacement. :shh
-
i remember a yr ago ppl saying why morris , he cant kick has bad disposal lol
well many were wrong
better have thomas in the team than jackson white and nahas
-

But if it is going to cost you something, then is it really worth it.
Because we allready have the youngest list of core players in the afl and through free agency these senior guys who will get the job done will cost us nothing in draft picks
Agree our list is still young and that's one of the exciting things about it to be honest
So therefore got no issues if it costs you nothing but if means giving up your 2nd pick that should be used on a kid then I am not sold that it is a good idea
-
i remember a yr ago ppl saying why morris , he cant kick has bad disposal lol
well many were wrong

Thomas would be a great pick up at the right price. We need depth and another hard body would be great.
Bet he comes to us now we have Williams
-
Would they take gus for him?

We erred last year in the PSD by not going for Leon Davis, he would have filled our injury holes and provided an excellent ball user out of defense. We ought to seriously look at experienced players in the PSD like Moloney.

Yes there were and i'm sure you can find out for yourself... Even so called experts like.Malthouse questioned his .skills early on in the year as did many forum posters....

Might have might not he had lived in melbourne for 10 years, as opposed to a guy like heslin who didn't last pre season. I still maintain it was a recruiting error, the PSD rarely has any good kids in it. Grimes being the anomaly and Gourdis being the usual result.
-
For mine depends what he costs us. If the price is right I haven't got a problem with him coming over. Any sort of improvement in depth and our list means we are getting closer to finals.

lets hope this doesnt come to fruition :thumbsup

For a 3rd or 4th rounder maybe.

Thomas is a spud. Jackson is better than him.
I'll take a poo on Craig Cameron's pathetic hair cut if we trade away a draft pick for Matt Thomas. Even if Helmut has nothing to do with it, he'll still be the one copping a steaming pile of poo from the Coach.

Thomas is a spud. Jackson is better than him.
It would be a battle for who is the most unreliable kick. In an era where precise kicking is becoming more and more important I don't get why we would be chasing after Thomas either.

Not a huge ballwinner in terms of numbers although he wins as much contested footy as uncontested and more importantly he handballs far more than he kicks which is a clear sign of a poor kick. Adam Thomson mark II.

No wonder why he never went in for the hard ball. Had to protect his body so he could model.

I think he handballs more than he kicks as he feeds the ball out from under the pack. :clapping

And the intense battle between Richmond recruiting chief Blair Hartley, a former Power recruiter, and Port list manager Jason Cripps is setting up Thomas as another Port target for the Tigers.
Port football operations chief Peter Rohde last night declared Thomas was a "required and contracted player".
"Nothing has changed with Matt Thomas," he said.

Midfielder Matt Thomas would not be traded to Richmond. "We've had no contact from Richmond and Matty is still contracted to us for another year, so we expect to keep him," he said.
