mitch thorp????

[craigyshark]

will he be picked up by any club??? hasnt been playing for long and unless he has a career ending injury surely he could have been kept on the hawks list instead of trent croad?? i think!

 

[Axel.]

His a good promising player, should find another club.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

When the Hawks drafted him we heard he's the next Pavlich and he'll be a superstar. They kept on telling us they have amazing depth and it's kids like Thorp who'll make them unbeatable.

Funny how a few years down the track and he's gone without a whimper.

I thought Pelchen was a drafting genuis?

 

[Big Bad Buddy]

Should get picked up, Wouldn't mind Richmond picking him up with a late ND pick or PSD pick.

 

[walaparky]

Getting cut with still a year on his contract gotta make you think that there is something serious wrong and there is no hope of him playing any good football

So i hope we don't pick him up

 

[TeamHurley]

ouch, top ten draftpick gone for nothing.
Great work by the hawks management

How's David Myers going for you? The curse of the number 6 draft pick strikes again:

2000 Dylan Smith (Kangaroos)
2001 Ashley Sampi (WCE)
2002 Steve Salopek (Port)
2003 Kepler Bradley (Ess)
2004 Tom Williams (Bull)
2005 Beau Dowler (Hawks)
2006 Mitch Thorp (Hawks)
2007 David Myers (Ess)
2008 Chris Yarran (Carl)

Steve Salopek is really the only guy who has proven himself from that list.

Alot of hawks have gone on about this kid like he was the next coming of jesus christ. Watch that turn into 'he was an overated hack'.

Myers is actually coming along nicely thanks for asking. Keep an eye out for him next year.

It's funny cause you've picked the Essendon supporter on here who probably likes Myers the least to say that to

 

[Pharaoh]

No, actually we're all quite disappointed to have wasted a first round draft pick. That being said, I'm pretty happy overall with our first round drafting since 2004. One bad egg out of eight picks:

Roughead
Franklin
Lewis
Ellis
Dowler
Thorp
Rioli
Schoenmakers

 

[Daytripper]

No he isn't.

Lets hope he turns it around though.

Nah mate, I doubt you'll hear any hawks supporters call him over-rated. Never got his body right and as such, has been delisted. No doubt we got hooked up in the hype, much like you guys with Gumbleton. Hopefully Thorp gets a chance at playing at the top level, would be good to know if he could actually play.

Showed almost as much potential as Gumbleton - almost. How is Laycock and Bradley going? 1st round solid gold drafting there

 

[Pharaoh]

Excellent - I look forward to it. Please tell him that Cyril Rioli, Rhys Palmer, Patrick Dangerfield, Jack Grimes, Pat Veszpremi, Harry Taylor and Callan Ward all send their best.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

How must Pelchen be feeling right about now?

One of his reasons for selecting Thorp at #6 was that "Selwoods body would not hold up to the rigours of AFL".

ouch ..

lololololol

 

[Spluff]

JON had a better career than this guy, and at least JON is a good bloke.

 

[catters078]

im just glad the hawks didnt pick the bloke that went after him at 7...

imagine how good their future would have been with him added too...jesus.

 

[Daytripper]

JON had a better career than this guy, and at least JON is a good bloke.

JON would never have got a game at Hawthorn.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

JON would never have got a game at Hawthorn.

He would have been played at Essendon though ... under Sheedy

 

[brjafi]

JON had a better career than this guy, and at least JON is a good bloke.

the sad thing there is Splufff that if i remember correctly didn't richmond have a thread about taking mitch thorp? with good interest and very little negative about him???? and you think JON is better, lol

 

[TeamHurley]

They are both still on afl lists last time i checked. Its ok no need to get upset. We all have our Bradley or JON.

Tell Mitch Thorp that Joel Selwood says hello. Anyone can play that game dumbass.

 

[Spluff]

JON would never have got a game at Hawthorn.

Thorp couldn't get a game either.
