Hall of Famer
12 players isn't THAT much...Including the rookie draft, 143 players were picked up last year, so an average of ~9 players turned over per club. ( last year wasn't unusual ).
As for Thompson...I commented after seeing him for Coburg last year that he was dumb and lazy...Put him where the ball is, and he's pretty good at getting it, but he doesn't know where to go and even when he's told ( teammates were yelling at him to move to fill a gap at a defensive kickout ), he can't be bothered getting above a slow jog to get there. ( said defensive kickout went to the gap he left, and even though he was closest to the guy who got the ball, he couldn't be bothered chasing when he played on and carried the ball from CHB almost to CHF ).
