Past #16: Scott Thompson - to retire end of 2019 season - thanks Scott

[Rooboy 96]

woohoo, when does Lachlan and Todd get on the "where here to become a dynasty train", that is the news I am waiting for.

 

[Event Horizon]

The quotes below really underline our culture, which is great to see. We don't need Buddy Franklin or Josh Gibson types at this club, that's for sure. Albeit that one is a star player and the other a B&F winner.

“The club approached me and my manager, Anthony McConville, about a month ago with a two year extension but I’m really keen to be a one-club player and we came to terms on an extra year on top of that,” Thompson toldNMFC.com.au.
“With the things going on at North at the moment, I’d be crazy to contemplate playing anywhere else. My future is here and this is the club that gave me an opportunity.”

 

[ArchKing Carey]

This sort of regular news would convince others that North is a club of choice if they wish to leave their current homes.

Keep the good news coming

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Awesome although I think I might go away in 2017 when we have 40 blokes coming out of contract.

NMFC Big Footy will go into meltdown that year.

Great work Scotty T.

I can handle a BF meltdown if we've got a flag out of these boys!

 

[gokangas]

Ripper news.

I reckon by then the boys coming out of contract would be licking their lips at the opportunity of winning four in a row & will take pay cuts to be part of it.

Wow what a top bloke probably could have walked for big dollars to a GWS etc. but stays to the club that gave him a shot at AFL. Hope we can hold onto Goldy, Basti and Lachie.

 

[King Corey]

If there was a way, Scott T would make a great captain of the NMFC.

Can't see it happening with Swallow being more than able and a similar age and a young behemoth waiting in the wings.

 

[Moose Malloy]

It really is good news overload this week... Scotty T 'til 2017 is such an important signing. Saying all the right things in the article too.

Although going by the number of posts in this thread, it's nowhere near as important as the raging torrent of imaginary bullshit in the trade thread. Oh well.

 

[abby]

well done scotty t! champion! come so far with your football

 

[nmfc_always]

scooootteeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

champion bloke, ripper player & roo for life

 

[Maddox]

Great news! Scotty T is a dead set legend

 

[Higgins2Waite]

great news...it just keeps on coming. I think I'm suffering from blockbuster fatigue!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Just give us the cup now....

 

[ozzyoslo]

when you think about it drip feeding the signings/extensions throughout trade week.......sends very clear messages throughout the footy community that we're doing the right things, this only helps getting a NDS for example to cross over. But to be honest its annoying the schizen out of me that we haven't scored a player of any note yet from another club.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Well, now we know we're getting at least 4 AA places over the next four years.

 

[TheBowandArrow]

Seriously not enough love for Hunter compared to other re-signings of late, possibly because noone was worried that he would leave? The "One club player" quote is testament to the bloke and the club. Fantastic result from one of our most important, if not most important player.

 

[Kimbo]

I had no idea there was an imminent need to re-sign him, but stoked that we have. He's a vital part of our team and our team structure. Well done yet again Footy Dept, and well done and thank you Scotty T!!

Of the three I thought only Cunnington was a breakthrough. Thomas and Thompson were never in doubt for mine, still good to hear though. Cunnington has only been at the club for four years and looks like breakin into the top tier of midfielders perhaps as soon as next year, locking him away until he's 26 was massive.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Reckon he will be a great loose man into his 30's once his days taking the key forwards are over. GUN!

 

[Jay-Z]

I read that article with a huge smile on my face. Scotty is a ripper bloke and his quotes today just show how much he loves this club and shows the players are as excited with the recent news as we fans are. Congrats Scooter!

Awesome year. 19.6 disposals is a massive effort for such a defensive player. Would have pushed top 4 this year with a small defender as consistently stingy as Thompson. It's great to watch games and not give two ****s about the opposition's best full forwards with Thompson on the park.

Yep. You'd back him in against anyone these days.

 

[NMFC 1811]

Gun footballer. Hard as **** too.

 

[Kimbo]

Any result other than Hunter winning the Syd would be a fallacy.

Sharing it okay?
