  this is a quality thread.

So....we've basically replaced the abysmal Lonergan with a bloke that makes Lonergan look like pure silk. Top stuff.

That's garbage. Thomas is better than Lonergan. Not by a lot, but he is. They breed them tough at Alberton

Wouldn't have drafted Thommo myself but then again I don't have the wisdom our recruiters do. Reasonable depth I guess.

matty is a far better player than lernergrn

No he really isn't. Disposal is even worse and he's even more one-dimensional - though ironically, he and Lonergan have the one identical career highlight - they both single-handedly bullied the Carlton midfield off the park back in 2012, except Thomas didn't bust any collarbones.

That's horse sav

[gerkin greg]

yes he is

matty >>> sam

[Diocletian]

Nope.

Slammin' Sammy > Thomas the Tank.

[eliminator]

Not sure about this selection. Would have preferred to go for a young untried footballer.

[yellowandback]

I believe he is our last pick - therefore he is rated 43rd of 43.
Seems about right.

Thomas better than lonergan. Not saying he's good but it's an upgrade.

His form in the state league was exemplary, dominating the finals series after winning the Magarey he was possibly the stand out player outside of the afl. Pinching myself he slipped through, nice work tigers

Bo, you have been pinching yourself so much of late, you must be covered in bruises!

[Diocletian]

Just wait until Thomas runs out for his first pre-season game - you'll all be praying he's not required during the season proper.

[gerkin greg]

At least he's an upgrade on Lonergan
