Will Thursfield [merged]

[jackstar is back again]

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

Just wants to play senior footy.

Totally agree
One of the best blokes you would ever meet at a football club

[Francois Jackson]

the only issue i have with this is it was Thursfield and not Mcguane leaving.

Please mcguane follow suit you are not required at this football club.

Nice guy or not, Hardwick is a good judge of ability.
Wil does not have the required skills we need to get better.

[Infamy]

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.

Yep, Lids, Cotch, Martin & Jack... they're not going anywhere

[Ramps]

IF WE can find another 2 top 30 picks from somewhere then it will be a great bonus for us IMHO.

old news hits the headlines

Agree with all that

But the article says Will has asked for a trade  So I based my views on that

change of enviroment, good luck Will
im sure another draft pick will come in handy

so much for everyone being bonded together and looking forward to playing finals as a group.

Already looking into a new look banner, might take a vote on who gets the nod in the new one. Might keep the same format if everyone likes the look of it and reshuffle the players on the right. Posty prob gets the stuff after a poor year.

Close ups like the one we have or some longer shots maybe a Dusty fend off and Jacks speccie?

Send in any requests..

I might make a few to vote on if i get enough decent pics.

been known he wanted out for some time, after Gasper got shafted,  Will's game dropped right off.

Sad to see him go. Always rated him. Only hope we get a good draft pick.

The voting idea is a good one pope.  We could make it an annual sort of 'honour board' of OER - have a vote each year and top 4 get to be on the banner for the next 12 months.

If that's true TM (and I'm not doubting you) then that's a sad reflection on Will, to hold a grudge or let something like that affect his performance over such a long period of time.  He's not cut out for senior football if that's his way.

[Penelope]

I thought his game dropped off after he did his knee.
My guess is that he could see the writing on the wall, with youngsters like Astbury, Gourdis and Grimes pushing him further and further back in the pecking order over time.

Has been a very serviceable player, but I dont think he has recaptured what he was showing before he did his knee. If he goes elsewhere and finds greener pastures then good luck to him. Hopefully it will be a win win situation.
