Injuries and Displcine been his biggest concern
ton of ability
and i guess the fact roughead and franklin are ahead doesnt help

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorpe

hes only played 2 games in like 2 years... 1 game this year for 4 touches and no goals...

do people hype him up coz he was taken pick 6 in the 2006 draft?

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorpe

I was keen on him a few years ago, but that doesn't mean much because there were plenty of people who were keen on JON.

If, as is being suggested on the Hawks board, it's discipline related, then it would carry quite a risk to consider him. I'm sure all the clubs will know just what happened, and if he is worth the risk or not.

I guess with Hardwick as coach now, he would be the best person to say yay or nay then.

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

with the amount of selections we have in the draft - would take him in a heart beat.

why the **** didn't we try and trade for him though - would have been a better option that having to go to the draft for him.

would be exactly what i would want - a guy who has the talent to play either Key forward positions

Your showing to much common sense there PRR . Hardwicks call for sure if rumour is true.

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

What a drafting blunder with Thorp before Joel Selwood, and to think we get bagged for Tambling before Franklin

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

He has had major knee surgery recently. Buyer beware!

and dowler might of passed him as well

Tom hislop was recruited to richmond with "Discipline issues" and i haven't heard anything bad about him
maybe thorpe just needs a fresh start and a bit of a wake up call
seemed to have worked with hislop

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

we should atleast trial him. only pick him up if we can see him kicking 50 goals a year.

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

How do we know he'll go well at footy...I mean he's tall and everything...and he is big in Japan (well who isn't)..might get us some o/s memberships from that part of the world...but anyone with their own line of "men's jewellery" has to be a shirtlifter...

Pretty hard to trial him if he's had major knee surgery

Could be worh a shot should Dimma see something in him.

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

Says he had a year left on his contract on the hawks website but he wanted to leave and the club was ok with it. Must be confident he will find a new home to pass up a 1 year contract and enter the uncertainty of the draft. Maybe we have already spoken to him. Also a bit strange that if he is any good Pelchen would let him go.

 

[tiga30]

just saw it in the hearld sun that he has been offically delisted by hawthorn. do you guys think hardwick would be interested in him. i personally would have a good look at him

Re: Delisting Rumour ... Thorp

(a) He's no good. Somehow received some internet hype from 14 year old Hawk fans who have never seen him stink it up at Box Hill. He's our JON.

(b) If he does get another go, i'd be staggered if it is at Richmond. Hardwick would know enough to stay well away.

 

[Tigerland#4]

Yeah , i found out by the Afl website , i reckon we should have a crack at him . Play him in the forward line then Posty can go back and then we can go best available at 19 then get Joel Houghton at 35 / 44 i reckon 35.

 

[MitchyRichmond]

Hopefully Hardwick can convince him to nominate for the PSD that way I think we will have a good chance of taking him.

if hardwick thinks highly of him then i think he is a great chance of being at richmond next year.

 

[wholelottafun]

my guess would be that Hardwick won't go anywhere near him seeing he was an assistant and would know Thorp very well....just read the posts on the Hawthorn board and you'll get an idea why we delisted him with 1 year to run in his contract.

And yet during trade week, he was like the messiah to Hawks fans.
