CAUSE MATT THOMAS IS VERY SLOW AND THAT WAS FOUND OUT IN THE LATTER PART OF THE SEASON

Hang on, isn't Thomas an inside mid??

CAUSE MATT THOMAS IS VERY SLOW AND THAT WAS FOUND OUT IN THE LATTER PART OF THE SEASON

Yes, slow and unskilled.

It ain't enough just to be a ball winner is my point. Matt Thomas is my example.

Thomas's weaknesses are significant. His kicking is about as bad as Ive seen since kellaway. Is there a worse kick in the afl? I noticed in quite a few games that Thomas was invariably left in space when he had the ball and was forced to kick, teams cottoned on pretty quick.

Yes, that is why to say that the job if inside mids is 'to get it to the outside mids' is too simplistic. You cant just be wrecking ball in modern football. You've got to have some skills as well otherwise you are a liability. That is my point, no more no less.

So you're saying Greenwood is no better than Thomas? Bc whilst Andy said he's an inside mid, I think we can all agree he's got a fair bit more polish than Thomas!

No....Greenwood is clearly better, and more polished. I never compared the two. I was responding to Andy's comment 'These are inside mids. Their job is to get it to the outside mids. Not deliver I50'
My post above explains what my point was pretty clearly. I don't think I need to go over it again. Lets move on.

TM is right.

My point is that Greenwood > Thomas.

He'll, even Miles ain't a great kick.

You want fellas like Cotchin, Deledio, Martin and Riewoldt kicking inside the F50.

Miles is a beautiful kick mate. Take another look, he really surprised me with his kicking. Can kick it a long way too for a tiny bloke.

He is very good. Doubt he'd be out of contract though…..

Im pretty sure Graham Wright said on Friday ??, he is contracted after a club asked the question

[Loui Tufga]

Daniel Jackson, 27 years of age wins our B&F.
The club would have been torn apart if we'd offered him a 4 year $400k contract on the back of that!!
Yet people are screaming the club down for not offering it to a guy nearly the same age, with half the amount of games who has been a plodder at best until this season.
I look forward to the club offering Arnot a similar contract after his break out season in 2-3 years from now....

And they still have to offer a pick or player for him to get to the pies…..

Shiel is the only one I want too hear about, but that wouldnt create such amusement now would it.

Very true CUB.  Although some here knock him, I think he is second only to WHE in their team of mids.

close thread neither are coming here pointless discussing
