Past Jackson Thurlow - delisted 2020

[Kennedy Parker]

Jackson Thurlow

Player Profile
The Sydney Swans traded Jackson Thurlow from the Geelong Cats ahead of season 2019 and the Tasmanian has since shown promising signs, impressing with his intercept-marking and one-on-one defending. The fleet-footed backman played eight of the first 10 AFL games of the 2019 season but added just one more appearance over the remainder of the campaign, so he’s hungry to cement a spot in Sydney’s best team in 2020. The 2019 retirement of champion defenders Jarrad McVeigh, Heath Grundy and Nick Smith has freed up room in the backline as names like Thurlow, Colin O’Riordan and Ryley Stoddart push for more games at the top level. Draft history: 2012 AFL National Draft selection (Geelong), No. 16 overall.

[scaryness]

Traded in for pick 70

 

[Punts]

Good depth player for pick 70

Good depth player for pick 70

Would be lucky to find someone better in the draft with that pick.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Wish him the best at the Swans, worth the punt for that pick.

 

[6yearsold]

hope he can stay fit. rather this than overpaying for langdon.

 

[caesar88]

The reason we got him tells me he will be best 22 next year. But I have no idea who goes out for him if all are fit.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

Basically a younger, taller Dean Towers. Who this year averaged more marks and more disposals.

 

[Tedeski]

Well that's it right there. Last year we knew exactly who would come out as soon as a regular best 22 player was back from injury, meaning we went with the tried & proven senior players perhaps not providing good pressure for senior spots.
The better quality depth we have the better all our senior players will play.

That’s fine in theory but it only works in practice if Horse starts dropping the Jacks and McVeighs and Grundys of the world. Can you actually see Horse doing that? Otherwise a few kids will have to make way, a) none of whom deserve to besides maybe McCartin who is not entirely ready, and b) that achieves nothing.

The only stat missing from there is the most important one of all: Brain Fades In The Dying Minutes Per Game

 

[scaryness]

Can't see him being best 22, at least not straight away. He is depth at this point imo.

 

[Dan87]

how'd we end up with Dean Towers as a player comparison

not the first name that comes to mind

 

[sr20]

Good depth player for pick 70

And yet in the Draft Hypotheticals thread you've said it seems a desperate move? Seems contradictory.

BUT

I agree with this comment. Ready made AFL Player, former reasonably high pick, but has struggled since a Knee Reco. Hopefully a fresh start does him wonders.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Fair pickup. I wish him all the best whilst he is playing for the red and white.

 

[sataris]

I mentioned it before

Right player at the right price.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

I like this... Def more than had we gone Langdon anyway.

Injury has halted his career... so he should fit right in

Good age. Good size. Pretty quick. Remember thinking he had a few good moments this year & seems to be the kind of player we could use coming out of defence IMO.

Looking forward to seeing him kit up & show us what he's got.

dean towers?
seriously?
i can only assume you have never watched either of these players play.

McCartin wasn’t ready, yet he played...Florent and Hayward being fasttracked last year through necessity were the same. It did them no harm and I doubt it’ll do Tom any harm either.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I like pickups like this nothing to lose everything to gain, wish we made more of them.

What's your thoughts on Thurlow Mick? You seem well versed in the Geelong players strengths/weaknesses.

 

[drasticswans]

I know basically nothing about him so would be good to see how others rate him and what sort of potential he has.

 

[Mick Oxlong]

On the contrary Kap, I only know Cookie and Enright. My son is mates with Parfitt and most likely a couple of others through association. TBH, I’ve never had any conversations with anyone about him, but I think he goes ok and always seems to find himself in good positions on KP.

Edit: I answered that in consideration of knowing Geelong players AND strengths & weaknesses.

Deano had whatever the opposite of x-factor is.

 

[kickthething]

His knee history and ability to get on the park to me makes the pickup somewhat iffy. We should not be bringing in players whose bodies are not getting them through seasons

 

[sataris]

Quick stat analysis

He's basically within a few percentage points of both Callum Mills and Zak Jones (if the idea is to replace them on the hbf).
