Scott Thompson rumour

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

OK I know this is out of Hutchies mouth but he reckons that Scott is seriously considering a move to the GC or possibly back to Victoria, maybe even Melbourne. A long bow sure but if it was to come to fruition would you want him and if so what would you give up for him?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,088]

Not just no but HELL NO! He deserted us once, I say let him stay gone and see how many finals he plays wherever he winds up. Sure, he's a good player, but we have a few guys playing his style of game who will be far far better. If he wants to go to GC and babysit a pack of spoiled teenagers that's fine, but don't let him come sniffing around us.

I was very hurt about losing him. I know he had good reasons, but he was one of my favourite players in 2004 and looked set to become a top line footballer at the Demons. Then he became a gun at Adelaide and it hurt even more. But why would he want to leave Adelaide after making such a big deal about needing to go home? Doesn't sound too accurate to me. Anyway, I'd have him back I guess. Still a very good player.

[Jack7 528]

Didn't he go home because of a sick brother or something?

I'm tipping he has the Sh1ts with Craig's gameplan and can't see a flag in the next 5 years with their Dad's Army backline.

Tippett knocked back big coin from the Coast and hasn't kicked a goal since.

As far as i am concerned he would be a great asset to Melbourne and the timing would be perfect

Thompson would get into Geelongs 22 which is good enough reason to consider it

Yes, but not unconditionally! If it cost too much, forget it. He's of the age we need through the middle.

I haven't kept pace with what he's been doing & how his forms been. I've been totally focused on the draft & TAC games.

Not other AFL teams.

Has he kept developing his game? Anyone know?

I'm Tippetting that somethings not quite right in Crowsville? Could it be that their players art fighting one another?

I smell Blue Cod. No sign of smoke from here.

It cam from that bottom feeder Huchinson right???.....Enough said.

Well I did go out of my way to say that. I was more wondering what peoples thoughts were on what is more than likely a hypothetical question as I wouldn't believe Hutchy if he said the sun was coming up tomorrow.

[Trengove_is_God 0]

How old is he now?

I was so [censored] off when he walked out on us, but damn they guy can play.

Wonder if if we could do a straight swap for Rivers?

Edit - just checked and he turned 27 last month, So will be 28 a couple of weeks before round 1 of next season.

Depending on the price , I would take him in a heartbeat.

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

As long as he came back on our terms.

Scott Thompson owes the demons a bit i reckon. Yes i reckon there is trouble at the mill over there

Players are being over trained is my guess, they look knackered at round 4!!!

[Rogue 585]

He'll be hitting 30 just as we hit our straps, so he wouldn't be high on my priority list on that basis alone.

[Guest fatty]

He doesn't fit into our youth policy.

We only look at 12 year olds these days.

If you're old enough to drink then you're too old for us.

[JACKATTACK 17]

I would definately take him, but at what price?

[RedsoxMan 144]

It was mentioned that his bad knee was effecting his play at the moment.

He only trains on Thursday, before a game.

This would put a negative vs his ability to be a asset to the Club

[GolfBoyPro 43]

No way. We have been through tough times now and just starting to turn the corner. Stick with youth and keep trying some untapped players via national draft. He's too old...

[DeeSpencer 26,081]

He's not too old. As long as his knee is right then he has 4 years of good footy left. If this group of kids is going to take us anywhere then it will be very close to doing it in the next 4 years.

But I'm not sure he will be worth the price to get him. That's what it all comes down to for mine, both the draft pick we have to give up and the $$$ we have to pay him.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,233]

Not the right fit for mine.

[Steamin Demon 392]

Not a chance in hell, He pi$$ed off once and now wants back ? Laughable.

[WonnaJurah 5]

pass,over the hill and past it

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Tippett has been injured and is still carrying an injury

Not the right fit for mine.

Agree.

Given the way our midfield is developing, what role do we envisage for Thompson and at what cost? Do we have others who will fulfill Thompson's role.

If he was available I am wondering whether he do a "Luke Ball" and choose the Club he wants. It may not be MFC.

[Dr. Mubutu 866]

I'd trade Meesen for him.

[praha 11,240]

He didn't "desert" us. He asked for a trade back to his home town, but said if we couldn't get a good trade then he'd be happy to stay. Can't remember what we got in return, but the MFC obviously liked it, so they made the trade. It's not like he had a sissy fit like CJ or Brock. He was class all the way in his request.

I'd be more than happy for him to come back.

Didn't we essentially get Brent Moloney for him? Beamer wasn't too bad a trade for Thompson.

Sure, bring him in.

Plenty of lively, super-talented youngsters but we need the balance of experienced veterans and as it stands, Davey and Green are not enough.
