Opinion THORP: The Good, The Bad and all the Unknowns in-between

[Blue Flame]

There are no cliques?

WTF did I send all those fruit baskets for?!?!?!?

I really don't know. Really don't.
And to me of all people... I mean, seriously.

 

[Blue Flame]

Are you saying there are cliques? I've been on this forum for 8 years & still haven't been invited to join one. What have I been doing wrong?

You can be in mine. Then it would actually be a clique.

Yeah, there have been a few unsubstantiated rumours going around that you are FIGJAM or you get injured all of the time or something.

I am guilty of constantly telling my wife how good I am, but then I'm preaching to the converted there.

Can we have a No Mitchs club?

We're only allowed to have one Tasmanian named Mitch.

My name's Larry. This is my brother Mitch and this is my other brother Mitch.

He will not make it to the rookie draft as Freemantle will take him . He will struggle at the AFL level and if you observe the packages on him , he is mainly a lead up forward , has no run in his game , not as athletic as Rowe and if he were to play on Jamison, Henderson , Walker etc he would struggle to get a kick . Can he apply forward pressure ?

This has gone to a whole new level now.

Hope Nahas isn't the new standard though.

Different footballers , at least Nahas can get a kick at the AFL level and apply forward pressure . Thorp struggled to do this in his highlight packages playing against dwarfs at country football . The pace of the AFL will be his greatest handicap . Not his head .

Struggled to get a kick playing against dwarfs...
Limited to a lead up forward...

Did you even watch the highlights, this is completely untrue, won the goal scoring award whilst playing a lot through the middle and won the most valuable player award. Therefore you are wrong, he didnt struggle against dwarfs and he isnt limited to a lead up forward.

His output at AFL level is unknown but what you're spitting is just wrong

 

[BlueMania]

I think he would be a great pick up as a mature age rookie. wouldnt be disappointed if we used pick 51 on him either so i voted yes

His AFL level is known .= DELISTED . Are you sure your not Mitch , Flowers , seem very animated .The truth of the matter is you will NOT be up to the PACE of the current AFL level.

You're constantly telling MSR's wife how good you are as well?

[Sin City]

I think people are really overstating his attitude issues. My understanding is that he doesn't have a problem with the drink, drugs or gambling. He just has an ego - so what? Thorp will recognise that this is his last chance at the big time and fall into line with our culture.

You did your best to make a reasonable post dropdead1 but it's not correct.....

That would explain who she spends so much time talking to on Facebook.
