Delisted #44: Fraser Thurlow

[yaco55]

I actually think he is similar in size and shape to Bellchambers. Though T-Bell has more agility. he was the surprise packet of the evening.

Subbed for future Fraser Thurlow awesomeness.

The bit of Essendon Gold Coast I watched I liked Frase.

He's my man from the drafts just gone.

Also, very solid mofo.

Reminds me of David Hille, I keep thinking he's playing.

Ah well. It's good to have a ruckman in number 44 TBC just doesn't look right in number 2.

 

[BrunoV]

He's an impressive beast.

Moves well, pretty big leap, nice hands, good at ground level. A lot to like in the game against GC.

Would be happy to give Thurlow a run in the ruck with Ryder playing more forward in the first month of the season.

Still cant believe that the guy is only 21... plenty to work with i think!

I wonder if we would still play him when TBC comes back (have to upgrade him off the rookie list tho). With our shortage of height in the fwd line it would be good to compliment Joe/Jake in the forward line with a ruckman permanently forward, whether that be TBC or paddy

Wouldn't mind him starting in the ruck against North with the instruction to smash into Goldstein as often as possible for a quarter before letting Ryder take over.

Wheres the damn unlike button again?

 

[Keystone agony]

Cant see Thurlow, JoeD, Carlisle being too productive when up forward together.

Will be interesting to see if the roos pick Currie. Would mean Currie, Petrie, Black forward for them.

Think it's simply that Tagliabue is better

Tagliabue is a better ruck men but Thurlow is A LOT better around the ground. Like A $#*! load better than Sam.

I reckon there's not much in that. At VFL level Tagliabue's tapwork is A-Grade and around the ground is D-Grade, Thurlow is C-Grade at both

Would have thought you had a Shane Mumford type (Thurlow) or a Mark Blake type (Tagliabue)?

I would rather a Mathew Warnock (Tagliabue) than an Angus Graham type (Thurlow)

Robbie can't kick though. At AFL level, falls need to be able to play a variety of positions.

In reality, we won't be seeing either of them at AFL level. Would Fraser be genuine delist material?

I think so. I genuinely think we'd be better off with Tagliabue on our list than Thurlow. I might go in 2 weeks to see how they go together

Ive actually been quietly surprised by Tagliabue. If you weren't aware, he is a NSW born and raised kid who came down last year but a knee injury prior to our listing ruined any chance of him getting games. HAs come back and been impressive with his tap work mostly but I do like his ability to have a second crack when the ball hits the ground.

 

[eth-dog]

Tags isn't afraid to throw his weight around, which is my favourite thing about him.

 

[BrunoV]

You guys reckon Tagliabue is better around the ground than Thurlow? Am not watching the same player.

No. I think they're both poor around the ground, just that Tagliabue isn't afraid to throw his weight around. I'd honestly prefer Tagliabue on the list to Thurlow.

Appears to have done a knee

 

[tenderwarrior]

any update on his knee injury?
