Past #12: Lindsay Thomas - released by NM to pursue rookie list spot at PA - thx4 everything Lindsay

[czero]

The longer this goes on, the worse it gets. People will start turning against him and any legacy of a good player will start to erode.

He needs his confidence back, his form back, and he shouldn't be playing in the ones right now.

 

[ShiNoBi]

before only north supporters rated you.
now no one rates you at all.
just stay away before you get BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

6 touches, 1 mark, no goal..

what's actually his position?

 

[kangaspurs]

With Thomas, I always thought the good outweighed the bad, even at times throughout the first 4 rounds of this season.

But that was not the case tonight. He was really poor. Would be staggering from Scott if he drops Hrovat instead of Thomas next week.

 

[jclei]

Completely shot at the moment. Must be dropped. We have form players in the VFL ready to go.

Brad admits he is out of form - just make the right call then

High draft pick gatherer.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Thomas approaching the 200 has a smell of Harvey approaching the games record......the fact that Scott has made a comment about him makes me think that he'll get dropped soon.

Couldn't agree more. This was the first time in a long time I've felt this way about him. He was awful from the first bounce. There were patches in the game where he tried to will himself into it. But he was so undisciplined with his tackling and then, he fumbled. That's what really shits me.

Needs to go back to 2's. Find some form. We give someone else a go. If he's playing well and the other player isn't. Then he can have another chance.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Worst game he's played for the club. And i'm one of his biggest fans. If he has a spell next week it's probably justified (not on his own, though).

 

[tazaa]

LOL at Spurr having the most touches for Freo playing on Lindsay.

******* embarrassment.

 

[Kimbo]

Woeful and frustrating game from him tonight. I don't like potting our players but it would be to the team's and his benefit if he was left out of the team for a while.

What's with the lack of hyperbole?

Agreed; badly out of form and on that basis shouldn't be selected next week. Don't think he's cooked though.

Thomas has been cooked for awhile. And I can name the exact moment. Sydney vs North last year at the SCG.

Got 2 goals from high free kicks that he drew himself. Under the glare of a Friday night telecast he was called out for it. Post this he has lost the only real consistent string to his bow, the ability to win a free kick. Once that got taken away from him he has faded away to the point that even the genuinely good things he did on the football field, albeit very inconsistently, are now basically none existent.

In fact the only thing he does regularly now is try and duck out the back, fly for hangers (especially when he should stay down), and give away free kicks.

Then in the first stayed down when he should have gone and Spurr marks in a 2v1. Just so devoid of any confidence ATM.

 

[Shermanator]

Magoos to find his confidence.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Terrible game tonight in what's been an underwhelming year for him thus far.

Back to Werribee he goes and he shouldn't return for a few weeks, unless he brains 'em kicking cricket scores and dominating.

Poor form with now zero confidence is not a good mix.

and 50 meter penalties

Brad Scott has said he only plays players on form, well Lindsay has no form by your on admission Brad so drop him now.

 

[salamander]

3 frees against too

I counted 4 frees against including a 50m penalty.

At 3/4 time he had more frees against him than he had possessions! 6 touches all night the lowest of any player on the ground and I heard it mentioned that he hasn't scored a goal in his last 4 games.

He's been gifted games in the hope that he can turn things around and it clearly hasn't worked he needs to find form and confidence in the VFL.

 

[CityRoos]

reward someone who deserves a game. I thought freo got 2 goals from LT's lack of forward pressure. one he pushed the player in the goalsquare which help the players kicking accuracy. if he'd grabbed or tried to tackle it may not have allowed them to go coast to coast.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Awful, has to be dropped.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I believe it has more to do with form on the training track.

He must be flying during the week.

 

[TruRoos7]

Same with Spitta, needs to be dropped, but Scott won't drop them both so we will end up carrying one or both until Brad has his next operation and crocks takes over again..
