Matt Thomas [merged]

[tigs2011]

Thomas is a plodder.

But on a world of squibs (grigg, houli), at least he has a crack

Offers nothing Arnot, Miles and even your boy Helbig wouldn't, except they still all have upside, he has none. Taking games away from them. Far too slow of mind and foot for AFL. Recycled list clogging hack who should never have been rookied in the first place, let alone upgraded, just like Lonergan before him and Hislop before that.

Remember when we delisted Hislop...







...and then rookied him.

He doesn't have the pace to be an AFL player. He was always 10m behind his direct opponent.

That isn't pace, it's work rate and reading the play.  Hodge is about the same pace but he can read the play beautifully and works his butt off.  There in lies the difference.

Add disposal to the equation and therein lies an even bigger gulf.

Thomas to half time: 6 clangers from 9 disposals.

What you get when you recruit recycled players who can't kick.

Thanks Blair  .

[The Machine]

How many free kick does he give away...not good enough.

[mightytiges]

9 clangers all up today playing against a bottom side. You can't blame him though as he didn't recruit himself to Tigerland nor is picking himself in the seniors. Sadly Hardwick loves the way he plays as he said so just a week ago  .

Another hack on the list

Ah!
The new foley.
We need someone like this

[YellowandBlackBlood]

I thought he was supposed to be a back up player.

He is not supposed to be first 22.

Foley was a good footballer in 2007-08 before his ankle injury which Wallace and the match committee then made worse by playing him in round 1, 2009 when Axel couldn't even walk two days before the game. Thomas on the other hand has never been a good footballer and should never have been recruited from another club and recycled. A modern day Tim Fleming or Adam Thomson.

Terrific, just terrific TM

Thats is all!

[Hellenic Tiger]

Arnot got 30 touches in the ressies today.
What was that mantra Dimma spruiked when he got the job? Something sbout players that can kick.
His goal in the last is evidence of this. Made Sticks Kernahan kicks look like perfect drop punts.

[Judge Roughneck]

How about the goal?

Beautiful kick
