Seems like a lovely bloke, all the best to him.

Anyone else watching?

jc67 · 14 Sep 2004, 00:20

Yeah humble fella.

I didn't think he was that good a footballer to be honest. (wrong of me).
Was he a crows rookie?

Congratulations to Paul Thomas

Yes he was a Crows rookie in the same year as Mattner, Bock and Rutten. Was struggling and played reserves most of that year.

congratulations to him! had a pretty good season(obivously

) perhaps coud still be a chance for AFL, not to sure on his age though would only be about 21-22 though i would think!!

Well done Thommo!!!!!!
Great lad, always willing to have a chat.
Finally we win one again.

And Matty Slade runner-up. Well done too.
Bad luck to Colville, probably deserves a Magarey at some point.

Pity I didn't get to see it - I guess WIN TV's programmers in Woolongong don't realise that the Riverland is in South Australia and the Magarey Medal is one of the most legendary and prestigious awards out.

Congrats to young Paul, a worthy winner. I thought he handled himself brilliantly afterwards.

I remember seeing him for the Crows in a trial at the Parade and was really impressed with his hardness and work ethic. May be worth a late pick in the draft.

Commiserations to the Eagles Gaivn Colville who has come back from his knee reconstruction brilliantly. The guy is a a great leader and one of the best players our Club has had. I thought the second year Squire won that Colville was unlucky and I am hoping he can win one eventually

More importantly, the Premiership is within our grasp. Central are yet to beat us this year and hopefully that continues. Should be a ripper on Sunday.

NO !....need a couple more to ease the pain of the last 40 years

need 5 to go past those pansy Bays and be equal with South and Torrens.

Then we'll regroup and work on reeling in the others !

Also won the Anzac Day medal in both of the last 2 seasons.

Come on Craigie give the lad a go on the crows list, surly he can be better than a few on baller that are on the list now.

Is his best position playing on the half back flank, would he be a good tagger in the AFL?

once again well done to the 5th winner of the Magarey Medal from the dogs
