[CROUCH #2]

Said months ago, a young kruezer.
Which is still quality.

Sorry missed that, I'd agree however Thilthorpe looks more developed physically than Kruezer was before draft.

If anything Thilthorpe in 4 years may be the biggest unit in the AFL meaning he will be better then Kruezer.

 

[tinman]

How many AFL players get to play for the team they supported growing up....I'll give you a tip, it ain't a hell of a lot.

Zero factor = Zero factor.

Those Cornes brothers LOL, I don't think they grew up as Port fans

has him covered, and even Tim English

 

[Mutineer]

I think essendon will get I of Thilthorpe or Henry.

Unfortunately for us I think the Dons take Perkins before Henry.

 

[Crows I Am]

Thilthorpe in nothing like tom lynch.
Weird comparison by shifter.

I think it's a bit dramatic to say he is nothing like Lynch, from the few times I have seen him play I definitely saw some similarities between Thilthorpe and Lynch.

 

[WeedsMullet84]

Again, the underrating of Thilthorpe on this board is astonishing - he is no slouch and has been right up there with Westies seniors from the reports coming from them

here is shifter's take

Kevin Sheehan reveals his top NAB AFL Draft Prospects: Tall Forwards

AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan reveals his top NAB AFL Draft Prospects - Tall Forwards

www.afl.com.au

Riley Thilthorpe

West Adelaide FC -SANFL / Goodwood Saints
Height: 201cm
Weight: 100kg
07/07/02

Highly promising tall forward/ruckman who has already played 15 games at senior level for West Adelaide over the last two years after missing last year’s NAB AFL Under-18 National Championships due to injury. Star at Under-16 level in Championships in 2018 for South Australia winning All Australian honours and last year prominent in NAB AFL Futures match on AFL Grand Final day with his overhead marking, agility and repeat efforts all part of his arsenal. Shows some of the traits of Richmond’s Tom Lynch with his presence as a marking target up forward.

Draft Central rate him exactly where I do. Pick 6

Yeah Kreuzer is all I see as well.

An interesting piece but won't make your club any more successful.

 

[Jarmayhem]

Yep, in terms of draft importance the question 'what team do you support?' is in the same category as 'which mythological creature you think would win in a fight out of a Bigfoot or Santa?'

Deaneus! - I think we have our new poll topic.

 

[Sanders]

Milera is nothing like hollands.
The old fella is comedy.

says the fictionalist who makes up sightings

 

[Sanders]

Yea and we do LM.
you need key forward and so do we.

And don’t listen old man rendell, he’s an idiot, we taking at present LM

Remember in WA news interview on Chanel 7 odriscal let it slip, he said the crows have spoken to our families and are trying to pair Logan at myself up. That’s fact.

so there is merit in the above trade for you based on your reasoning

in 2000 we took Laurie Angwin’s (7) best mate Michael Handby (38) to try and pair them up.

how did that work out do you reckon?

 

[Atypical7]

Cox when interviewed said he saw himself as a Centre half Back in the AFL for what it's worth.

can play either forward or back and either Cox or McAsey could develop into a good key forward allowing good flexibility early in a rebuild as we shape a side over the next 3 years. Keeping in mind both Cox & McAsey when played forward has kick bags of goals of 4/5.

What is attracting with Nik Cox is there is a lot of untapped potential and has great hands above head and for a 200cm plus player and pulled off an 80cm running vertical jump at the combine, In comparison he has the same traits as Eric Hipwood

as a forward (potentially) or even similar with his athleticism as Joe Daniher.

All my post was about, is if we decided to take a midfielder in Hollands with our first pick there is still really good tall players with Reid/Cox that may be around with our second pick. Yes there is a big difference between good & great with these players but I don't see Thilthorpe or McDonald being a necessary pick this year for our rebuild.

Hollands & Cox would be big wins and there is an under the radar key forward who I rate very highly with Jackson Callow and may be around in the second round.

 

[Mego Red]

Thilthorpe in nothing like tom lynch.
Weird comparison by shifter.

That's a dumb thing to say.

Both are strong 200cm+ers who love coming directly at the ball, have some grunt and are very good overhead and on the ground.

 

[Mego Red]

Said months ago, a young kruezer.
Which is still quality.

No.

He's bigger and more physical than Kreuzer and should be able to hold himself in a contest better than Kreuzer did.

BTW - Lynch grew from 16. Played CHF and CHB in his TAC year - probably the time in defence was what made people a bit hesitant to take him.

Hollands & Cox would be big wins and there is an under the radar key forward who I rate very highly with Jackson Callow and may be around in the second round.

Cox is also an amazing two sided kick of the footy for any sized player, let alone a 200cm one. Do you really see him as a key forward though? If he can become that then you are right, Holland’s and Cox would be great.
i agree with Callow, who has just amazing hands, I also think Baldwin will end up a really good key forward, assuming the best injury wise, but I would risk it in the second round with him. Point is, there are options later if we are desperate for a key forward, and midfield is still our area of greatest need.

 

[Crow Envy]

Yeah Kreuzer is all I see as well.

An interesting piece but won't make your club any more successful.

And yet when Kreuzer played his side was a lot better. You can’t hang the rest of the side being shit on Kreuzer

 

[FAITH]

No.

He's bigger and more physical than Kreuzer and should be able to hold himself in a contest better than Kreuzer did.

BTW - Lynch grew from 16. Played CHF and CHB in his TAC year - probably the time in defence was what made people a bit hesitant to take him.

rubbish.
Kruezer was much stronger than Thilthorpe ever will be.
Kruezer was a warrior.

 

[FAITH]

And yet when Kreuzer played his side was a lot better. You can’t hang the rest of the side being sh*t on Kreuzer

people are taking it the wrong way, Kruezer was a gun when fit. Thilthope should be flattered to be compared to Kruezer.

 

[Deaneus!]

Two things.

I never rated Kreuzer. Yes my disdain of all things Carlton is well known, but for a 1 pick, when he actually got on the park, pfft. He just wasn't that good.

Also, Then is causality and time. Than is size.

We threatened to match if we didn't get pick 2 for Crouch then we folded like a cheap suit. It made us look like bigger idiots than usual.

You get a like because I've always been a big fan of the Unabomber.

 

[Betts are off]

Does anyone have access to a decent highlights package on the SA kid Cook? I just realised I’ve never actually seen him kick a Sherrin.

I heard a whisper the other day that he may be a late bolter come draft night

 

[Hodgy]

people are taking it the wrong way, Kruezer was a gun when fit. Thilthope should be flattered to be compared to Kruezer.

Exactly. Kreuzer was taken pick 1 and when fit was an awesome player. It’s not underselling Tillthorpe at all. It’s just about the areas our side are deficient and who will make the most effect on it going forward.

unfortunately my honest belief is that if Tillthorpe was from Victoria, there would not be 1 person on this board wanting us to take him.

There are a few good match highlights of his if you search him on YouTube. Pretty sure they're posted by the panthers' channel.

What shop did you get your crystal ball from? I’d like to get one

 

[lunacy]

Well if you want a direct comparison then McDonald‘s Perth and Thillthorpe’s Westies both kicked 81 goals for the season while they were playing.
Thillthorpe 5 out of 81 - 6% of their goals.
McDonald 22 out of 81 - 27% of their goals

Thilthorpe ended up playing most of the season in ruck which he isn’t ideally a primary ruckman.

 

[mattymac]

And yet when Kreuzer played his side was a lot better. You can’t hang the rest of the side being sh*t on Kreuzer

Still didn't make them any more successful.

Zero impact on their club's fortunes
