Traded 40. Jackson Thurlow (2013-2018)

[FredLeDeux]

The clip shows him playing as an inside mid and high-marking goalkicker, in fact anywhere but defence.
But who knows?

 

[Belisarius]

I'm just going on what the journos had been saying and some posters on this board. I suspect none of us have seen what professional recruiters have seen. So just surprised me.

 

[Belisarius]

They say he is a rebounding defender.

Not one phantom draft has Thurlow below pick 20.

 

[SkittleCats]

McIntosh, Simpson, West, Vardy and in a pinch Bathie. Cause what we really needed was a 202cm ruckman who would sit on our list for 5 years while he develops into something. Particularly with the holes that will come with retirements in our backline in the next 2-3 years. Love the people on here who think they know better than the man who built it all.

In Wells We Trust.

 

[Belisarius]

Maybe it says a lot what Geelong think about Simpson (ruckman)?

 

[Belisarius]

Brodie Murdoch gone at pick 40.

 

[hbk_aus]

Who saw Mackie coming? Harry Taylor?

 

[supahoops]

We seemed to hesitate when it came to our call, think Garner may have been called before Norf took him.

 

[Belisarius]

I thought Bews might be what it seems Thurlow is. Maybe he is just a gun player and Wells has dome it again ?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Thurlow is a good pick, and to those chastising Wells for not selecting Grundy, we don't need him and never will.

 

[Belisarius]

Who saw Mackie coming? Harry Taylor?

True.

 

[rocker_oz33]

I went to the toilet thinking grundy is comming up and bang thurlow interesting stuff.

 

[Stig_90]

He got 45 touches off half back against Vic Metro. Pretty impressive.

 

[Ikan Bodoh]

Like the look of him although it seems a bit of a stretch. Wish we could have converted pick 16 into two mid 20's picks so then we could get him and someone else decent rather than pick 77. Interesting to see what happens there now.

 

[Beth]

Emma Q predicted we would take him in today's Age.

 

[dithiothreitol]

If we picked Grundy, would he have got enough playing time in the seconds with West, McIntosh, Simpson and Vardy?

 

[Belisarius]

Alright guys who picked him or said he was a chance ?

I will bow to your better judgement from now on re drafting.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

You'll all eat your words re Thurlow, the kid is all quality.

 

[supahoops]

Listening to Vlad during breaks, hope he comes out with a shocker

 

[krisholio14]

If this Grundy is so good, why did he go through that low? If he was that good, wouldn't he have at least gone top 10 like a Kreuzer or Natanui?

Seriously can't believe the "WTF" comments - like you have seen as much junior footy this year and have had as much experience and success as Wells has had?

I've seen plenty of him in the champs and playing SANFL, and he will be a very very good player.

 

[volcboy]

A fellow Launcestonian Good luck to the lad.

yeah he nearly did already, was saying that coaches had asked him about the cap on interchange, then the producer turned the sound down.

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

He got 45 touches off half back against Vic Metro. Pretty impressive.

Seems to have versatility personified , if Wells is consistent kid willl also have leadership qualities and very effective disposal - 189cm is a damn good size as well.

 

[FredLeDeux]

Won't hold that against him.

 

[Belisarius]

At least there want be any streakers at Kadinia next season !
