Matty Thomas stifling the development of Matt Arnot!!!!!
there was no way in the world i wanted matt thomas. but bloody hell no one can deny hes been very good in his three games.
the only questions i have now is, can he maintain the level ? will old habits kick in again?.
i find it bemusing with supporters. it seems most cant grasp the simple fact that you need a combination of both mature and junior players.or that there is merit in both mature drafting and junior drafting.
we took vlastuin, mcintosh, mcbean and mcdonough and we balanced the list proper out with the likes of chaplin, knights and edwards who cost us nothing and actually filled list holes and improved us.. there was nothing wrong with this sort of balanced recruiting.
we may argue the players we took but for sure and certain no one can argue the process we went thru.
the only similar player to aaron edwards on the entire list when we drafted aaron was ohanlon and he was miles away from getting a game.
addressing a huge hole in the list with a decent short term solution for practically nothing is smart but it seems some people can see no further than a players age and ignore all else.
on arnot well i have my doubts about him there is no way he can offer to the side what thomas has atm. there are plenty of underperformers who arnot can force out if hes good enough.
reckon we are on the same page in this.
