Matt Thomas

[Whispering_Jack 30,129]

Hard nut delisted today by Port Adelaide. Age 26 but didn't play much this year.

I must say I didn't pay much attention to Port this year but I thought Thomas was a fair player and that he might be worth having a look at.

Waited for someone to bring it up. We have to keep in mind that davey, rodan among others won't be there to "fill in" games. As such, we do need to look at some way of covering that. Sure, they weren't stars this season, but they provided a few cameos that we can't expect blease, Strauss, taggart etc to consistently cover yet, unfortunately. Players like Matt Thomas, Daniel cross will all need consideration, but all this is dependant on trades, priority picks and our ability to retain players like Sylvia etc.

Thomas is no star, but behind port's midfield that will eventually be seen on par with collingwood and geelong, perhaps only surpassed by gold coasts, you see why he struggled for games.

would definitely make our side.

but i've heard he's off to tigerland.

[Machsy 2,858]

Get him.

Tigerland might have a lazy $500000 by the sounds of things.

More pertinently they have Choco Williams and Blair Hartley.

Thomas is a tough nut who is a fierce competitor, tackler and wins the footy. Would be a class above Terlich in our back 6. Maybe have a look if others pass him by.

What Matt Thomas have you seen play? No way is a class above Terlich.

He's a midfield stoppage specialist who could also play or rest as a defensive forward. Not athletic or skilled enough for the backline that's for sure.

He'd provided a boost to the midfield and do Rodan's role as a clearance winner and mature body. Would take the pressure off Viney and let Sylvia play more half forward where he belongs.

I'd be all for him as a short term measure.

He won the Magarey Medal (SANFL B & F) last night.

What a week. Sacked one day and a B & F the next!

[whatwhat say what 22,756]

That's fantastic.

He's a really good guy. Hope he gets another crack at the AFL.

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

I hope we put in a phone call to this guy.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

Absolute tough nut and a great leader. I hope we sniff him out but I believe Richmond will most likely snare him.

Why Richmond?

[whatwhat say what 22,756]

choco williams and blair hartley, primarily, with troy chaplin also there.

[DeeMfc 621]

Fits the Roos mould of mature age recruits perfectly.

Would be happy to see him in a Demon jumper at the right pick and price.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

Why Richmond?

They were into him last year and were close to securing a deal. Pretty sure I read somewhere that they are still keen?

[Whispering_Jack 30,129]

Any recent news on this bloke?

[InVINCEable 358]

Get onto it roosy!

Roos and his coaching staff would have already considered many OOC and Delisted players who he thought could make our team better

It is exactly why Daniel Cross is now a Demon

I would also consider that they have already looked at the viability of Scott Waters for example

Many of us look at every opportunity based on pure hope

Roos will be far more decisive than that

Don't even consider Watters, horrid coach.

[Machsy 2,858]

Good assistant, though.
