Lets see Ackland, Thurstans & Bassett up forward

[Asgardian]

Now is the perfect chance to see these lads on the field for Port.
Put them on the field, and see what the field of battle does for them

I know Scott Bassett has had a few niggly injuries in the past couple of years, but I wonder why Port don't give him a decent go. Even when he's been in the 22 he spends most of his time picking splinters out his bum. I could understand him being very frustrated. Does anyone know if Port tried to trade him at all?

 

[Grave Danger]

I see Ackland has been named in the squad for Friday - I wonder if he'll survive the cut...

 

[Nod]

Yes I would like to see Ackland get a run. Lets test the potential.However this game is fairly important as Williams needs to keep the momentum up following Ladey. Plus we have never beaten North. I wonder what he has planned for CHF this week ?
Think Bassets injuries have been more than niggling. He showed in that Sydney game that he is worth keeping so I think nurse him along for a bit longer. If we see his best I think we are going to be happy.
Not sure if Thurstans is ready yet. He hasn't done anything special in the trials and a full year of SANFL will toughen him up for the future.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Guys. Things could be worse.

Epic necropost

 

[finbarr]

Lol geez!

 

[bringbackbucky]

These three would provide better forward structure than what we have right now...

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Where am I?

 

[Steve Dore]

It's like deja vu all over again

 

[Doctor Feel]

Where am I?

From a time where Tredrea had destroyed his kneecap, Lade had broken a leg and Monty had done an ankle.

Oh right.

The good old days.

 

[manureid]

Did we at least see them all up forward?

 

[Grave Danger]

I thought the get really a get thread must have been re-named again. This name would have been one for the gamer nerds only

 

[Steve Dore]

You know things are bad when a thread that could only get 4 posts 15 years ago is suddenly top of the pops.

Well done Doctor Feel

 

[spookism]

Holy jeebus...

What a forward line

 

[1954]

Hopefully Cain Dixon, Toby Butcher and Scott Howard will get a gig together soon.

Thurstans kicked three goals in the 2004 Grand Final and kicked 24 goals for the year.

It was when Choco tried to play him as a defender that things went backward. Toby was not the quickest thinker in the game.

It took more than two years for Thurstans to debut from the time this thread was started and he ended up playing in a premiership. There is hope yet.

In the time he was drafted to his debut he could've completed an undergrad, done an honours and embarked upon a masters.

It truly was a football apprenticeship.

Bassett sold me my first gym membership eons ago. He was more a Parade type than Queen St really.

We drafted Toby Thurstans at pick #39 in 1998 and he started playing in the Sturt U19s in 1999 and he played in a Sturt SANFL Premiership in 2002. Toby made his AFL debut for the Power in 2003.

When ever I hear Johnathan Thurstan of the North Queensland Cowboys mentioned in the NRL a think of Toby. Cannot think why.

 

[charcolechaddy]

I new MK2 would kick in eventually.
