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

[Kimbo]

I wouldn't

LT is a legacy player. A custodian of culture.

 

[hellas_johnny]

watching lindsay talk about boomer was absolutely painful to watch. This guys passion for the club is second to none and he needs to finish a one club player.

 

[Reverend Shinboner]

LT's speech confirms something I've always suspected - LT is a solid bloke, and someone I'm proud to have at our football club.

I can understand informed criticism, but anyone who calls themselves a NM person and is happy to take cheap potshots at LT on the keyboard or the sidelines needs to take a long hard look at themselves. LT would do anything for this club of ours, and we're lucky to have someone of his character.

 

[kangaspurs]

So Lindsay's speech all but confirmed that Wells has definitely gone.

Who is the 'Codge' fellow that he referred to?

What did he say exactly

 

[Benj7]

What did he say exactly

Nothing just mentioned he's brother in a speech along with the other 4 brothers

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Love you Lindsay. That speech. Wow.

I don't want to criticise (and this is going to come across harsher than I want it to), but contrast Lindsay's passionate speech to Andrew Swallow's captains speech, where he ummed and ahh'ed his way through it. Lindsay is 100% heart.

 

[hilly]

Ripper. Can't wait for the club to start defending him against buffoons like BT.

 

[deadlydropbear]

Listening to his speech I can see now why everybody refers to Lindsay as being the heart and soul of the team.

 

[The Other Dean]

Another awesome highlight of the night. Huge Lindsay fan, so I couldn't be happier. Fitting recognition for a guy who has endured a lot, in both his playing career and away from footy. Truly loves the club and it's fantastic that the club has shown him that the love absolutely flows both ways.

Congrats, LT. Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Had a little bit of a cry at his speech.

He is North Melbourne.

 

[Dirty_11]

We should make a point as a club (players, coaches or officials), to publicly come out hard against anyone who sends anything derogatory LT's way going forward.

 

[Groucho]

Just watched his speech again,what a beauty. Even better when sober!

we could even start here.

I said on another thread that he is Shinboner Spirit bottled and I stand by that.

 

[Twinkletoes]

His speech was the most emotional part of the night for mine. I felt like wandering around the tables to weed out and punch every gutless prick there who'd spoken ill of this heart and soul bloke over the years. F*** 'em all LT!

I'm doing an aggressive reset of my own in 2017, promising to make life hell for any keyboard hero here who attacks this bloke incessantly. You can take that to the bank!

“To the North Melbourne footy club, I don’t think you guys understand how much of an honour this is, not just for me, but for my family.”

“I told my girlfriend, now my wife, at the time… I was only going to last two years and then going to go home, but I fell in love with this footy club…”

beautiful words from an amazing guy with an inspirational story <3

 

[shinboner magic]

What a legend is this man.

It's only a sport but it's helps people in all different ways - players and fans included.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Thanks GR - That was a powerful clip.

 

[Groucho]

Saw him at Westfield today. My wife said " hi Linds congratulations on your life membership." And he said "thanks". What a guy!!

 

[darko]

Listening to his speech I can see now why everybody refers to Lindsay as being the heart and soul of the team.

And that moron Derm.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Saying this for the third time. Trust any North person that dislikes LT as far as I can throw em. For the second time: I can't even see you as a fellow supporter, you miss the point, you just wear the colours.
Hope he sees this opportunity if Wells is gone as well as and Harvey to become our play maker. Hit pre-season hard, get miles in the legs, look at Eddy and Cyril's years and go why the * not me, why * not at North.
Hope he kicks 60.
