I saw some vfl games that Ruggles had high possies, they wern''t much he kicked to himself a lot to increase his numbers, turned the ball over and was ineffectual. Good honest player lacking the class to play AFL so was delisted. end of story. Cats got this one right IMO. Hope he gets a gig...
And did hit form later in year only to be dropped for Blitz return after 4 solid games. Selective memories he will be very good in2018 just wait! The Gold Coast stuff is bullshit he knocked back a long term offer to stay at cats, FACT
The collingwood Tassie scout told me they were all over Thurlow that year and they had to take Grundy when not available by 18 or 19 whatever they had. That's a fact . So to say he would have been a 30's puck is incorrect
Arn't you wasting air Thurlow is contracted and has said he is staying so why are you banging on? Unless you have a source to reveal you are speaking dribble.
Perhaps we havnt got the cash to attract high profile players? Perhaps the potential players see us as not a great long term prospect ? Recruiting on a tight budget is not easy
So your saying Blitz is contracted so off limits? I agree , then why do you keep throwing up Stanley Murdoch and thurlow? How are they different to Blitz .. all contracted
starts from the top. Cats squad players not allowed in rooms during finals pre game and half time. Poor culture.
How about Menzel turning his back on teammates and rolling ball along ground getting ready for goal shot in pre lim when 40 metres out(he missed) no intention of setting up to a...
Fair enough but there are valid reasons he's not cemented in 22, kidney and acl slowed him down. Let's remember his last full year 2015 . Rising star had a block of games where he averaged 25 odd possies when Mack was out and ended up 17 odd across year. This year he did come good but was...
His 9 possessions per game are gold! I believe he has talent but it is unproven at best so far. Never seen a player so over rated v actual output over 30 odd games.
I'd play Thurlow in front of both Kolo and Murdoch, read on Facebook he averages 22 possies v swans which is an awesome stat against a contested high calibre side. Murdoch averages less than 8 possies per game in his 6/7 finals and you could bank on a heap of clangers in them, kolo just too slow...
The problem with Scott is he does not have the whole team/squad playing for him. He's up the arse of the top 6-8 players and doesn't give a shit about the rest. Doesn't communicate with the other players . Locks them out of meetings and the rooms .. like last night. (No players allowed in...
You said "Played 10 games" there you go you've written him off as well for 2017 that's my point he is too good a player to be written off this year by Scott and now you. Not required so let him go and get something back. Win win
Disagree on form he shouldn't have been dropped. Scott dropped him over others so no point sugar coating it. Motlop was prefered by Scott after his crap collingwood game and year generally. Kolo has a decent game v Richmond after basically doing nothing all year, how's parfitt recent form...
I rate him but being realistic Scott doesn't otherwise he would be in the side. its all about playing AFL for a player so I think we should be open minded... maybe get a draft pick so Scott can get someone he actually wants i.e Smith or Ablett and let Thurls go so he can play AFL somewhere else...
Bulldogs would be a great opportunity for Thurlow he could play AFL footy instead of VFL and cats could get a draft pick. Scotty won't select him so if I was him I'd go.
Wouldn't Hawkins Taylor Mendel buzza forward make us top heavy? I feel Buzzas handull of possies won't keep him in this game and Blitz will pinch hit in ruck. Harry will definitely be forward IMO
He was good I reckon best player used ball well good decisions, also Lang was good . Re not made in best, they do it all the time powers to be won't name a fringe player in best if there is not a spot ready in afl so as not to put pressure on themselves. Both are ready to go.
I thought Blitz has played 4 games this year? My point is Thurlow was asked to work on his game as winger which he did, his last month output is better than the players mentioned. Same old scapegoats apply for Scotty no matter what. Motlop last week? Parfits recent form? Murda has been better...
Thurlow hasn't been able to find form?? Is this the bloke that has come back as a wingman and performed really well the last 4 games? His average of 20 possies is v good for that position . He is only out because the match committee play favorites! Compare his last month to Parfit Parsons...
Think we are to slow across the ground need to go back to the one ruck and get a better balance in our back line , way too tall and lumbering back there
