Imagine our stocks if Freeman and Scharenberg could get on the park?
Thomas is a keeper after today.

Well before the game his Form in VFL was not Best 22
He's just a big stage playerWell before the game his Form in VFL was not Best 22
You watched all his VFL games?
Refused to lose. His work-rate was outstanding tonight.
You make a good point, and I think he's aware of this deficiency. He has actually bulked up a lot considering his ectomorphic build. I can't find the pic now, but earlier this year he was cut like a bodybuilder almost to the point where he looked unhealthy/dehydrated. It appears he's working pretty hard in the gym and with his diet to build strength, but it's an absolute grind for skinny-arses to build bulk - and I speak from experience.He looks like he has a runners build, but maybe needs more power.
Yes I have
That performance last night is a frustrating one. I've been a JT fan since day dot and know that he's got it in him to give us that type of footy consistently moving forward.
The issue is that watching him run around at VFL level a game like last night looked a million miles away. All he needed was one of those performances at the lower level, then to back it up at senior level and he would have been a regular over the past 8 weeks.
It's where we've fallen down in the back half of the season with our inability to get the best out of him, Sinner, Seedsman and Fasolo for one reason or another. It really was a game that had me wondering if he's been read the riot act of a career defining match at the club.
I don't want to sound as if it's all doom and gloom because he stood up when we needed him to, but where's it's been all year?..
BOG for Collingwood today with 29 touches, 8 tackles, 3 goals. That really is a complete game, outstanding and hopefully he build on this performance in the future.
Mmm... Ok then...
Surprises me because I think he actually adds something we desperately need.
He can extract the footy but also has a bit of pace. Kicks goals as well.
IMO him and Adams are both best 22 next year.
There different as Adams is more in and under pack where Thomas can get the ball and get away of Packs
