Andrew Thompson

How is he playing? He doesn't seem to get much of a run and was sick l;ast week. Will he carry on next season?

I'd been pretty disappointed with him the last couple of seasons... But this year Thommo has had a new lease on life. Running hard, playing hard and doing all those little things, the tackles, the hits, the 1-percenters!

He is a changed man, and exactly what we need in our classy midfield. A blue collar worker with grunt to go with all those fast and furious midfielders

agree Big Ted, thommo is a new man this year. really stuggled last year, thought that he might be over. he has shown something this season tho giving rest to the starting midfielders and putting in his fiar share

Apparently St Kilda have applied to the AFL for special consideration as to whether he can be placed on the veteran's list in 2005. This would ensure that he would play on and suggests to me that his re-signing for next year is no certainty.

I love the guy. He has real heart. He would do anything for the team and is a great wholesome public face for the club. As honest as they come and has definitely reinvented himself when his role was taken by the new breed Sainters.

He is one of my favourite players out of Collingwood. He is a real champion.
