Correct. And we had no interest till Lonergan retired. Still would rather play a man down.  :whistle

No, no we need him!

Anything less than a top 4 finish for our standalone VFL side will be unacceptable, we need experienced players to ensure it happens, Thomas fills that need  ;D

far too much common sense there.

let me get this straight. our depth and quality is that good that we dont need to draft at every single opportunity potential afl standard players. nope we can afford to take below standard players just to look after our vfl side.
ive never heard so much bunkum in my life.  every single pick should be an attempt to find a AFL standard player weather its a kid a mature player a nd pick or a rookie pick.
 if its already been decided thomas at age 26 cannot add to our senior team or improve it why take him at all.

Pass on anyone who averages almost twice as many handballs to kicks. A clear sign of a footballer who is a dodgy kick as he uses his hands more to cover his lack of faith in his own kicking. Adam Thomson mark II.

Doesn't that show that he plays within his limitations?

probably

And there have been a few players who average more handballs than kicks who were great players

It's not the ratio that's important but how the skill is executed IMHO

sad isnt it, lonergan actually retires other wise we were going to keep him :o :o.  thats what your saying isnt it. if lonergan does not retire we would have kept him and not bothered with thomas.
 surely we learn from our mistakes but it seems not::;  one poorly skilled battler goes and we endevour to  replace him with a bigger clone. the actual stupidity is scary.the more things change the more they stay the same it seems.
