We've had people here post that they've heard direct from the family how positive they are.Some parents live through their kids sadly. Any decent parent would but I think they would be telling him get a trade back home.
Is that you, Nicksy?Can we stop with talk of Thilthorpe actually playing as a wingman, ffs?
It was to give him some freedom today to run around without pressure. He absolutely isn't going to play there.
LOL - I just think it sounds like nuffy talk. Let's actually get him ready to be a key forward, which he's perfectly built for and we desperately need.Is that you, Nicksy?
Until I hear it from them, I don't believe.We've had people here post that they've heard direct from the family how positive they are.
Give them a call, see what they say.Until I hear it from them, I don't believe.
I don't see how you can just make blanked absolute statements like that?Can we stop with talk of Thilthorpe actually playing as a wingman, ffs?

Where's the replay up on YouTube?
I get this but think worth noting it came off the back of Doedee nominating him as one of handful of most impressive in game sim the other week and Rahilly without prompting suggesting has a chance of being in.James Sellar also carved in a trial game in Dubai. Just cool the jets on Frampton.
Still think we should have him as a defensive backman although we have plenty of promising young guys who need a run through there too.What are we gonna do with Sloaney?..
He’s been better this quarter.. but there’s far more exciting prospects really nipping at his heels.. and sloaney’s only gonna get slower whilst they all get better.
His 5 year big money deal is a bit painful to look at right now..
Without seeing the game, I wonder if you mean he just started the game slow? If that's the case, I feel like that's going to be a problem for O'Brien for most of his career. He doesn't seem capable of jumping at all, after 15-20 minutes most ruckman really slow down and that's when O'Brien comes to the game in terms of hitouts - always has plenty of solid efforts around the ground.OBrien looks to be starting slowly again, can't have another slow start to the year with our mids getting killed again so he needs to get a wriggle on. That said I reckon Strachan is actually a pretty good tap ruckman.
McHenry wins contests and uses the ball efficiently. When he doesn't win the contest he applies outstanding defensive pressure. He struggled while he didn't have the body shape for his game style but is starting to come online now. I remain optimistic. Hopefully 22 games as a half forward the next couple of years, maybe some time in the midfield after that.McHenry was good but also starting to feel like his niche role is just straight up replaceable any way you slice it.
really hope talia plays r1 saves one of jezza or hawkins kicking 6 but the other may feast
I’m also optimistic about Ned. I’m just also optimistic about a lot of young players who play midfield, wing and small forward on our list. I just worry for him that his lack of tools outside of pressure and endurance make him expendable.McHenry wins contests and uses the ball efficiently.
