Even if Thommo could help - which he can't
What is the point ? Aren't we trying to build a team for September and beyond ?
Thommo might have 1-3 good games in him at best but most likely none
I don't see the point - it's like conceding the season

What I think WILL happen:
Out: Menzel (inj), Mackay (omitted), Hampton (omitted), Otten (omitted)
In: Greenwood, Thompson, Lever, Knight
Then, in a cruel twist of fate, there will be a late omission due to a secret injury and the travelling emergency, a young wet weather specialist whipper snapper by the name of Mookay, will come back in to the side.
Nah look I'm sure we'll find a way to name Mackay on a wing and make a maximum of 3 changes, all while inexplicably retaining Jenkins and Hampton. Will we even add to the 25 players who have actually played this year? Thommo number 26? All of this stuff is pretty laughable, yet frighteningly real.

Have plenty of love for Thommo and I am doing my best to replicate his guns in the gym but he is done and dusted.
If we revert to playing Thommo then its safe to say our club will not be winning a flag anytime soon.
If he came in he would probably play well in his first game or two and add value but at the expense of younger players and he will be cooked by seasons end and add little to no value in the heat of finals.
Agreed, if Thommos in the season is shot and we should give Wigg and co a game.

This is the AFC though, they may just recruit Fev if they cant get Gibbs.
Thats because the station is Port riddled, Koch, Riddell, Abernethy and any other muppet that doesn't know better.

That stupid ****ing lairy hair do.
It all went to shit when he got all "look at me".
Well not exactly then but that's when the rot started setting in.
It's not the hair.
Arrogance is fine, but if you talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.
His attitude seems to say he rates himself, but his actions say he's a lazy front runner.

Really like to see the team line up like this on saturday night.
B. Brown Talia Hartigan
Hb. Laird Lever Smith
C. Milera Cameron Atkins
Hf. Douglas Walker Knight
F. Betts Otten Dear
R. Jacobs Sloane MCrouch
Int. BCrouch, Greenwood, Hampton, Lynch.
After watching the sickening replay of the game mackay and jenkins must be dropped. Their efforts were deplorable. Worse than others. Had no campaigner in them at all. Dont think they ever will. They can **** off. Pathetic.
Dear as jj's replacement will give a better contest in the ruck and gives us a marking presence up forward. Dont be disenchanted by his sanfl form or stats. Get him in the team and watch him grow.
Greenwood must play. If we dont blood him now when the **** will we.? Deserves a spot in the 22.
Knight and lever come straight back in. Future of the club and both will put their body on the line.
In. Knight, Lever, Greenwood, Dear.

The hair is batting at 50%.
Was it shot when we failed to better our midfield and rely so heavily on Sloane

If Thommo is picked it flies in the face of what Pyke said on May 3rd and it shows we are panicking.
http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-05-03...ow-pyke-cant-guarantee-scott-thompsons-return
"Lets get him back up and going and then assess what it looks like from there"
Since then he's played one game for 19 possessions. That's not a run of games or form line that lets them assess what it looks like from there.
Your call Don, hold your nerve, make Thommo show the form you require or panic and play the 34 yr old who doesn't have the games or form line under his belt.

Yep. So why play Thommo?
With every body part I have crossed he took some anti aging drugs and comes out and plays like 3 years ago

We all wish our legends can recapture their form, it just doesn't happen. Once on the decline age catches up with you and you can't do anything about it.
I would hate for Thommo to come back and be a liability and the very good odds are that will happen. Just look at his SANFL form, the only reason you promote a guy with that form is based on name only.

Thommo isn't even close to it at the moment, so no idea why he is being mentioned as a possibility... whilst meanwhile Greenwood has been our best or near to it in every game... & has a future.
It's a no brainer between the 2.
Why people want to continue to play a number of players who are well out of form like JJ, Hampton Menzel it seems pretty normal

The only reason it's being suggested as where we are severely lacking is where he has excelled I agree with elite age is restricting him but it doesn't change the fact we look soft and Thommo never has looked soft

I hope we pick Doedee this weekend and he gets the rising star nom because, well that'd be amusing from a board point of view

What could Thommo offer than Greenwood couldn't, but more?
