More likely to be an Adam Thomson, traded from Port for pick 42 in the 2008 draft.

Coach, as our resident Power expert, what are your thoughts on Thomas?

[Coach]

I think I have posted about him somewhere in this thread my Slick Python. Very hard at it, lacks skill, good inside but doesn't get high stats. At best a depth player at a top 8 club, just like he was at Port this year. Port don't have a spot for him anymore and I don't think we should give him one either. Wouldn't be the worst player we've picked up but he'd be a whipping boy. Surprised Melbourne haven't offered him a 4 year deal.

Let's just say that young FF that's always injured wasn't the biggest butcher on Port's list.  Ironic that we've just rid ourselves of slammin' Sammy Lonergan who only took up a rookie spot and could now give a main list spot to a bloke who's arguably even worse.

If we must take a DFA then I would've preferred we grabbed Laidler - too late now though as the Swans have just swooped on him.

Ah yes, i do remember you giving a similar assessment earlier on. Cheers, fella. Doesn't sound like Thommo's worth the trouble.

I still think we need a decent tagger at the club, could he potentially do that roll?

Yeah I broached this earlier. Might be his best bet and something that the club has in mind.

[Penelope]

hope not, would prefer an onball brigade that can get and use the ball themselves but are accountable, rather than some hack who scrags the opposition down to their level.

[Tigger]

Didn't seem to hurt Freo with Crowley this year...

[Penelope]

perhaps, but hawthorn got by pretty good without a crowley type
