Is this the end of Thomas

[Sluggers Blues]

You would think with all the new young on ballers coming into the team that Thomas will struggle to get game time.

Graham would be another one I would think,when I pick my starting team for next year I cannot even find a spot on the bench for either of them.It is a bit of a pity even though I think injuries and the game have gone past Thomas he does give you a150percent effort and Graham was never up to it either as a extractor or the link up player.

We must play the kids even if they are not performing at the peak of there abilities game time and experience is vital goings forward.

That's my opinion what is yours and tell me where you would play them.

Rowe and Silvagni are another couple who I would not play at all,as they are both predominantly back men and for them to play u will have to leave out Weitering ,Plowman Marchbank and they are the future Jones until or if he stuffs up that is enough talls we need some good smalls.

 

[Masqualero]

Nah mate, he's an extrovert and all that and brings so much to the table off-field.

To be frank it would be good for the list if he is pushed out by the end of the year but would still be handy depth.

Also we need him to arrange mad monday.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

I will be angry if he is in the best 22 come round 1

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I expect Thomas to play 8-14 games this year if fully fit. Less if injured.

He adds experience to a side devoid of expierence and that cant be overlooked. And can still do the odd good thing pinch hitting on a forward flank.

And boot the winner against the filth

 

[thylacine60]

reading the title I thought he must have copped an injury at training - you could create this thread for any number of players currently

 

[Beer n Skittles]

He’ll play games for sure. Nowhere near as bad as people say, there’s just too much emotion around him

 

[Chism]

Daisy is worth more on the field than Graham.

Even though both should not be considered best 22 in 2018 and if they are it is worrying times.

 

[Soapy V]

Go through all the possible options on our list and he might play a game or two early but can't see him playing much more than that. List is so much better than last season and there are too many kids that need to play. We've also added ready to go players in Kennedy Lang Mullett Garlett Shaw O'Shea. Dow & O'Brien will also play a lot of football. Where does hit fit in?

His role will be mostly leadership in the reserves and I'm sure he is aware of that

We have more than last season. Murphy Curnow Kruezer Jones Simpson Casboult Wright ASOS Mullett Lang are all experienced players. Weitering Charlie Kennedy Silvagni Plowman Marchbank Cripps Byrne Cuningham are 3 or more years in the system and will step up. With all the kids we need to play we have easily enough experience in our best side.

Disagree. Can't keep up, can't tackle and disposal poor.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

I think Wright and Daisy will be fighting for the same spot in the forward line. Wright has more runs on the board so I think he'll start round 1.

 

[GoBlues!]

Roll him out for the Collingwood games, and the traditional side step, running banana goal, fist pump celebrations.

 

[Bic]

He works his backside off and trains hard. If he isn’t going to be best 22, someone is going to have to outdo him.

Yep.

It won't be his doing if he's not selected.

Someone will have to have earned it.

 

[Stamos]

He was in our best team in the second half of the year when he was fit, and earned his new contract. As above, he's going to have to be pushed out of the team.

They all do

 

[BuxbaumBixby]

Feel like it has more to do with the younger guys mindset - if 2 or 3 of them come out of their shells and start organising on the field and provide more leadership - that reduces the need for Daisy and Wright.

Wright offers more than just leadership... He actually kicks goals!

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Looking for Thomas, Wright, Casboult and Simpson to be pushed out of the best 22 over the course of the year.

The players who should push them out are Cuningham, Garlett, McKay and Dow.

Sure - but don't underestimate the work he does organising forward 50 stoppages. I'd argue that it's just as important as the goals he kicks.

Bit harsh on Simmo

 

[HBF]

Agree with a few other posters, he won't play every game but his guidance will be invaluable to the younger kids.

It doesn't say 1-2 weeks...FFS

Id be asking serious questions about player development if Daisy is projected to play up to two thirds of season 2018 in your assessment.
