Will Thursfield [merged]

[Rodgerramjet]

No great loss, was serviceable to an extent.

Moore and Astbury are the only two I'd have any emotion about leaving and i'd be definetly looking to trade Rance ASAP.

Forgot to add, Gourdis will play alot of games next year, impressed with his three games at the end of the season, was set to go past Thursfeild.

[taztiger4]

I think Dylan Grimes is a better bet

[tony_montana]

Good luck to him, wasnt against 2 of willy, mcguane, moore and rance leaving

[Judge Roughneck]

Always liked William. Shame to see him go.

Hope we get good draft pick.

Mcgaune and thusty for 2 Good draft picks would be ideal

[Smokey]

No great loss, serviceable at best and had been prone to 'issues' in the past.  Don't know what they were but well documented that his output was affected a year or 2 back.  Was going to be either him or McGuane and he probably saw a better outcome for himself by jumping before he was pushed.  At least now he can chase the clubs he prefers, not be forced anywhere.  Thanks for the efforts Will and bye.

[gerkin greg]

he'll get better opportunity somewhere else, we will get a trade and try and fill a need.

exactly Ramps, win/win
I have no doubt he'd rather stay but that's the way it goes
Will getting on the front foot and declaring the move his decision gives him more value in trade week than if the club came out and said he was surplus
It also deservedly gives him a bit more control over his future
nicely executed and again kudos to Will, wish him all the best
ever the englishman, or should that be fisherman  

[TigerTimeII]

take sentiments aside

facts are  thursty was a clossic list clogger and a hopeless big game player, lets just say he cant cope   

lets hope we can suck a team in

[mat073]

Popelords impressive OER banner will now be ruined (after only one season)...I hope Thursty takes that into consideration.

Could be time for a new banner including Dustin Martin & our Coleman medalist.

We were very patient with him and his body, which it seems cannot stand the rigours of a full season of AFL footy.
Bye bye Will, you will not be missed one iota

He suffered injuries because of his courage. Anyone as hard at it as him has my respect...he will be missed by quite a few.

Cheers, Will. Hope your footy works out

[yellowandback]

He never really recovered from that "big knee" a few years ago.  Remember him giving Roo a decent match up before that.
He will only ever be a back up defender in a middle of the road side. 
He has been an ok player in a lowly side and will not be missed but doubt anyone else will want him.

[Mr Magic]

Agree. Won't be missed.
Vastly overrated by many Tiger supporters.

[WilliamPowell]

Thanks Will for asking for a trade - makes things easier. I think he has some real currency

Bottom line is if you don't want to be at the Club you're better off going

BYE

[TFL]

Will is a terrific fella, he definately wouldnt want to leave.

Just wants to play senior footy.
