Josh Thurgood

C4[2]Yo`DooR · Oct 16, 2006

Skinny Wirey defender, reminded me a lot of Karl Norman for the way he played down back.

Any chance of us giving him a look-in, even in the rookie draft?

190 cm, 70 kg

.... he's flipping ugly though.

just posted this in the PSD topic. I think he should be a certainty to pick up. Proven solid and young. Don't know what the hawks are doing. In 2 years theyll delist hodge and mitchell just to pick up more players in the draft. Thurgood for my psd choice

Would Harry Miller cramp Eddie's style too much?

Dont bag us...at least we're not going down the ladder .... mwahahah. Josh Thurgood, i remember last year, would always break a bone if he went near someone (or...atleast he did that twice). This year, he became bad! And i mean bad! BAD...BAD!!!!!!!!! Vs Port Adelaide in some round where we lost by close to 100 points, he dropped a mark inside 50...a chest mark too and that resulted in like a hundred goals for port. He was even named villain of the week...and out of close to 700/800 players in the league, and only one getting the "honours" of 'villian of the week', he is proven to be bad and not improving.

It is sorta like Graham Polak...#4 draft pick in the 2001 "super draft" and look where he has gotten now...the ninth placed average team (funny how they always are 9th)...anyway, he showd signs in his first year (2002), but gradually disintegrated (like that word) into a player who doesnt play. It is clever that Hawthorn delisted him early on, because we are ready for the future

Let's see, the Whoreks move heaven and earth to sign our fullback by forcing him into the PSD by making a ridiculous offer and we're supposed to pick up one of their cast offs who is a tall defender?

Bwaaahahahaha!

Whatsmore he has red dreadlocks!

Bwaaahahahaha!

We should pass on any hacks who have been delisted by a bottom eight side and grab kids.

Everyone on the Carlton board should read this.

Every year people put up players who aren't up to it - haven't we had enough duds on our list over the past 5 years?

Some players that have been delsited have become good. are you saying u wouldn't take tuck?

Jeremias · Oct 16, 2006

No thanks to Thurgood.

Isn't big enough for KPP defender, which is what we need. It seems as though he hasn't put on weight in about 3 years-attitude perhaps?

PASS.

Maybe we can beef him up by putting him on the Matthew Lappin weights program

gandaal · Oct 16, 2006

I never understood why Thurgood was so well know. He's a hack if ever I saw one who's done absolutely nothing in his career to date.

lol at "deano the hawka". Yep mate because your team is on the up and up. How long has it been in the bottom eight now? Hawthorn = Richmond

I'd imagine there would be better talent, although not much, available in the PSD. I'd give him a miss to be honest

Note I said hacks but the odds are against delisted players making it and good players rarely get delisted. Tuck had a serious issue with his heart when he was delisted and it's funny how he landed at a club like the Tigers.

No offence to people who have a heart condition.

btdg · Oct 16, 2006

Hasn't Thurgood been delisted? That will mean he can nominate for the national draft, which you would think would mean he won't end up going to Carlton. We won't use our first 4 picks on him, and I think it would be reaching a bit to take him at 51 - but I doubt he would last through to 67, as someone will take a punt on him.

Most probably he will be rookie-listed somewhere. I'd love to have him at Carlton, I just remember him showing a lot of heart and given that he's only, what, 21 or so and probably hasn't fully matured yet I reckon we could do a lot worse. But I just don't see how we get him (unless we can convince him to rookie with us).

blues4flag · Oct 16, 2006

My main issue is his obvious lack of size. If he can grow he could be decent, but at the moment he's a twig, which is probably the main reason for his injuries last year.

Hehe i understand what you are saying. But if there isnt any ruckman in their or any brilliant young talent. Why not draft a luke brennan or a Josh thurgood and jsut see wat happens

Not sure atm....have to wait and see the list of uncontracted players

If there isn't anyone suitable to pick; we should use the pick on another youngster.

There always seems to be one or two who slip through - someone can pick them up in the PSD before the rookie draft (if they're eligible for rookying)
