I'd say possibly is a more accurate word to use. What makes you think he would have been better than Taberner / Clarke etc? He has not been playing well in the SANFL. 1 bag of 3 goals against Adelaides rookies and then games with 1 or 0 goals for the rest.
Amazing that 14 goals a game in the Tassie league doesn't equal 14 in the SANFL.
This guy seems to have hype no matter what, I bet you had no idea he was even playing in the SANFL before you threw up that he would be handy. Personally I would pick any of the top 5 goal scorers from the VFL, SANFL or the WAFL before him and whats the bet none of them get drafted either.
Was he getting 14 goals a game in Tassie? We'd have certainly listed him if he was kicking half of that.
Yeah, I was aware that Thorp had left Tassie to play in the SANFL, but wasn't aware what club he was playing for (as I don't follow the SANFL).
I'm not saying we should definitely have picked him up, only that at the time I was in favour of grabbing both Gumby and Thorp, and I thought he might have gotten a couple of games given our forward line issues. You obviously don't agree with me, and we obviously didn't pick him up, so I'm not sure why we are still discussing it.
