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

[see see]

I'll never forget the game he kicked 7.5 against Carlton.
Easily could have kicked 10.
One of the best games by a small forward I can think of; not being biased.

Geeze he was a good player.

I've seen the following individual performances over the years:

• Barry Cable humiliating Leigh Matthews with 38 touches (easily worth 45+ these days) in the '77 Prelim
• A 32 year old Schimma running himself into the ground in the comeback win against Carlton in the '85 Elimination Final (made famous by the "required effort" post match photo)
• Horse kicking 14 against the GoDees in '90
• Carey kicking 11 against the GoDees in '96
• Carey kicking 6 on one leg in the '94 Prelim

LT's effort that night against Carlton sits just below each of the above. He was unstoppable.

Someone with skills show guy footage of the Selwoods and LT ducking then listen to the difference in commentary
Was downright character assassination

Slight tangent, but I've always disliked Joel Selwood and it was only recently I realised it was because of this. Something that isn't even his fault. Felt like a goose when I understood it was just misplaced frustration at the unfairness of LT's comparative treatment.

Where's Hale at the Cattery?

I'll never forget the time he kicked 53 goals in a season only for the AA panel to select Chad flipping Wingard ahead of him...

LT is a light years better player than him.

That absolute freak goal he kicked against Carlton in 2012 was unreal.

 

[Luke72]

Great man. Always had an old looking head but he doesn’t appear to have aged at all.

 

[SnowRoo]

LT has his 9th birthday in 24, would help to keep our AVG age down.

Redraft?

 

[Hojuman]

Still only 36. Seems older.

Down you go **

 

[KillaKanga]

[Hojuman]

God, how we could do with another small forward like this bloke.

( bye *** )

I remember right before he kicked that thinking at least just get the ball out of bounds in our 50 for some territorial gain.

 

[R00StaR]

Something about him, he was (im sure still is) very likable.

One of my all time favourites. Thomas could ****ing play.

 

[Hojuman]

Lindsay got 3 sons yet ?

( bye ** )

 

[Hojuman]

Always a North Melbourne man. Winning finals player too with us. Knows what it takes.

Watched him in a praccy game on the Gold Coast when he was first drafted. Took an absolute hanger and toyed with his opponent. Loved watching his career. Such an agile player and would lift those around him. That's what we need, someone unpredictable who can turn a half chance into a goal.

 

[Black Diamond]

He used to turn a lot of certain goals into behinds as well. I mean, he was a whipping boy for a reason.

Vs Collingwood

He lit it up. We belted the Pies too.
The pre-season of 06-07 was one of our better ones.

 

[ferball]

He kicked something like 20 behinds and 2 goals in the first five games of 2011 and was pretty good for the rest of his career. Who are you? Bont or Cameron Ling?

 

[Hojuman]

Never cramped as a Portaloo player that l saw.

( bye *** )
