I don't mind Thomas as an extractor or even Travis Tuck , but only as rookies though

From twitter:

@kristianpisano - "Walked past Punt Road this morning and looks like former Port Adelaide player Matt Thomas is training with the Tigers."

‏@BrettAndersonIF - "Blair Hartley is a big fan!"
oh come now oe. ive been told on this site by posters we have no interest what so ever  :o :o :o

No interest on the main list maybe but he's a lock for a rookie position ;)
Correct. And we had no interest till Lonergan retired. Still would rather play a man down.  :whistle
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.
Pretty much. My understanding was it wasn't a unanimous decision to keep Lonergan either. Not sure who gets the final call though? Blair, Fine Eyes, Richo?

Matt Thomas



DOB:               27/2/87 (will be 27 by start of 2014 season)
HEIGHT:         186cm
WEIGHT:        87kg
POSITION:      Midfielder
FORMER CLUB:         Port Adelaide (87 games, 30 goals)

Richmond’s recruiters were buoyed by his season with Norwood in the SANFL, which saw him win the competition’s Best and Fairest Award, the Magarey Medal and play in the Redlegs’ premiership side.

Thomas made his AFL debut in 2006, ironically against Richmond, and has built a reputation as a tough midfielder, with a strong appetite for the contest.

He has averaged 15 disposals and five tackles per game over his league career to date, and has booted 30 goals.
