Post by: one-eyed on July 09, 2015, 05:54:04 PM: Richmond has upgraded 28-year-old rookie Matt Thomas to the club’s senior playing list.

Thomas, who has shown strong form in the last few weeks at VFL level, filled a vacant spot on the Club’s senior list, as a replacement for injured youngster Nathan Drummond.

Why we would do this now is perplexing..
But nothing surprises me about this club.

This guy will get cut apart for speed.

We are in big trouble bringing this guy into mid field rotations. The ledger has been levelled, through our stupidity

By the time they come back and go through recovery and back through the seconds and then prove themselves again we will be at season end.

Post by: mightytiges on July 09, 2015, 10:15:25 PM: Makes no sense promoting a player that's VFL standard at best. Too slow and can't kick to play AFL.
Title: Re: Matt Thomas upgraded to Senior List (RFC)
Post by: mat073 on July 10, 2015, 01:15:00 AM: This is why Matt Thomas is on the list , to come in mid season , on the heavy tracks when all the kids are starting to struggle ( with injury/form )

I think he will do ok
Title: Re: Matt Thomas upgraded to Senior List (RFC)
Post by: georgies31 on July 10, 2015, 01:20:52 AM: Really thought Dimma turned the corner and learning playing kids the way to go.He has played 2 good Vfl games and get's promoted :banghead.Can't kick and offers nothing very poor decsion.

No doubt that's the thinking here Matty.

I wouldn't ruling him out Friday night too probably replaces lambert. I think they want a wet ball specialist to gain clearance ascendancy at the stoppages.
