Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

[Unity-28]

love LT, i hope he tears the frogs a new one this week.

i loved the way he answered the "diving" question....

 

[see see]

He's at least a Semi Fraud / Genuine impostor.

He is a crumber who doesn't crumb.
He is a small forward who has always shit himself in front of goals.
He has never played a good game in a big game for us, ever.

IMO, he is as close to book definition fraud as it gets.

I don't care what they do off field, this is not a judgement of his off field capability. But on field, he is as close to a cancer as it gets. Gives away stupid frees, doesn't stay down when 99.9% of small forwards would, goes for marks he shouldn't, cheats, misses sitters.

I'm done with him.

Get off the fence, will ya?

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Has improved so much in the media. Really great that he's looking at a coaching career.

 

[Ashley B]

Great stuff Lindsay , let's hope we have a win this week.
Go The Mighty Roos

 

[shniko11]

Great effort L.T just stop going for them momentum killer high flying marks.

Ok just one on ur 200th on the Bont's head will be great

Good luck.

 

[shniko11]

Also how about our banner of L.T's 200 have a nice dig at the media!

Brereton and Taylor might call it ducking but Bulldogs players dicks they love sucking.

They have used L.T as a pin up ducker lets call out the media for who they really are.

This is a good idea

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

200 games is a superb effort.

However, he's been close to putrid the first three weeks.

 

[Twinkletoes]

I hope LT gets malicious with Bont 200 times on Friday.

Go get 'em 200 gamer.

It's a massive achievement and I also hope his teammates play with the same vigour and heart he's displayed in other experienced players' milestone games.

 

[Jindrrk]

Would be nice if he got a high free kick on the siren and kicks the winning goal. Bit hard with #freekickflogdogs in full effect though.

 

[Gasometer]

Anywho on topic, congratulations to Lindsay on 200 games of blue and white blood sweat and tears. You are North Melbourne through and through and your love for what the club has given you in your life is demonstrated every week.

Your role at the Huddle is appreciated!

Some great times and I am sure giantroo has some great LT goals and marks up his video sleeve.

Well done mate@

 

[ferball]

If it weren't for his 200th, he should be dropped.

Disgusting start to the year.



Another shithouse list management call.

Should have let him go with the rest of senior frauds.

He had a shithouse start to last year as well and then by round 8 was kicking 2 or 3 goals a game.

 

[Pep Fraudiola]

He had a shithouse start to last year as well and then by round 8 was kicking 2 or 3 goals a game.

Was he???

He had 11 games last year without a goal assist.

Unacceptable.

And i'm historically a Lindsay defender.

Good luck for his 200th of course as he won't be dropped, but jeepers, who signed him up for another 2 after this year????

 

[ferball]

He had a shocking start to last year but after round 3 started kicking them regularly. Don't remember his goal assists but after his character was maliciously maligned by Bont the Dog things went downhill and after the Hawks game he didn't seem himself.

2 shit games and one average one where he missed a goal that cost us the game isn't as bad as you seem to think it is. he seems to be playing better up the ground and I'd like to see him up there more.

Edit: pretty sure that somewhere in this thread there is a post outlining his goal kicking after round 3.

Had a period last season between Rd 9-18, where he kicked 25 goals at 2.7 goals a game, had 14 goal assists last season which is smack on his career average (not sure what the expectation for goal assists is?).
It's a shame his accuracy over his career hadn't been better, otherwise we'd be talking about this guy being one of the greatest small forwards the game has seen, but i guess there will be those that argue that that is the point.

 

[Woodson]

He certainly can STING the opposition when onsong. I like the way he celebrates and turns it into a UP YOURS Goal.. the HATERS certainly deserve that!!

The games he impacts at the end make his impact all the more sweeter. Yes, infuriating to watch when he's not getting the job done let alone not busting his backside but he makes up for it when he brings his impact in spades. Last season in the first half, he was gifted games I thought.. as a veteran of the team, should be getting at least 20 touches and having at least 5 score involvements each and every single week.

Congrats on his 200 milestone but it will be a hallow achievement without a WIN. North have only won 3 games in the last 17 outings.

 

[Woodson]

Why isn't he played more through the middle like the praccy matches? He was outstanding in those games running through the middle and i really thought he was our replacement for Wells considering we have many forward options.

Outstanding? Serviceable at best. LT is just a 'X-factor' calibre player who can sting the opposition on the odd occassion or STING us (on more likely than not)!! Can prove to be the acid that fries the nerves of the opposition supporters that really makes him 'special'..

 

[Woodson]

What he needs to do more of is play front n' square.. and overlap (as a option) when we're running forward from the midfield. His/ team's defensive pressure can be the difference to getting a WIN or not this week..

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Wrote a few words about the great man in the lead up to his 200th.

The way our banners are going we will probably run with "We'll Done Lindsay Thompson"

"YIP - pee - ki - yay mother****ers"

"Yeah, but he's OUR ducker!"

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Great effort.

Now, go back to being a small forward and actually crumb some packs.

 

[Horizons_00]

This is when he is at his most confident
Come on LT we want to see that arrogance!

 

[Event Horizon]

I hope LT gets malicious with Bont 200 times on Friday.

Go get 'em 200 gamer.

The team didn't show too much zip or ticker in JZ's 150th however...

They tried but were overrun by a far better side, and one which is up there with the flag favourites for this season.
