Such a waste. Why CS doesn't play him is beyond me

 

[romeohwho]

Best of luck to him-sorry he is going- still think he could have been given more opportunity to come good.

 

[Tony Barber]

He's completely lost his speed over the first 10m. Pretty annoyed as I really thought he'd be something.

 

[catempire]

Stinky

 

[nananana catman]

Don't like this move.

 

[sauron256]

Bit late CE

 

[thecatattack]

Hope he plays well for them

 

[Gavin Excell]

Pick 70?
Whats the point?

 

[RegHickeyStand]

Hope he kills it.

Pick 70?
Whats the point?

Gets him to the club earlier, more an act of goodwill than anything else.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Another player who showed great potential in his first year who seemed to lose it after some injury troubles. I do think this one could come back to bite us in the future if Thurlow can rediscover the form that impressed us all initially. I wish him all the best for the future.

Do you think it was his knee just not working as well anymore, or mental in that he wasn't trusting it and not digging in.
Its a shame as he used to be one of new guys who was going to be a shining light for us.

 

[Falconx]

Such a shame. Was one of our most exciting players in 2015 and then does the ACL. Tried playing him in 2017 and was clear he wasn't ready and never really got any opportunity this year even when he dominated VFL. Wish him well at the Swans and hope he comes good.

Pick 16? to a pick 70.... fair drop in value that.

2012 draft
Thurlow, Hartman and stringer

What a disaster draft that was for Geelong. 2013 wasnt much better

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

Sad about this one - just as I was disappointed we didn't play him consistently enough to see his real potential.
If he becomes a jet at the Swans there is a serious need for introspection in relation to our development and coaching.

Some of Geelong’s first picks in recent years have been disastrous- Cockatoo, Lang, Thurlow, Kersten, Smedts, Menzel, Brown.
Regardless of reasons it’s not great reading.

 

[OddYears]

Pick 70. what a waste. Wish him all the best. Think he's going to be another ex cat that goes on to play his best footy elsewhere.

Can we get through the first page without mentioning the G word?

Wells not the magician then?

Is our 2012 to 2015 drafts the worst in the league?

 

[Max Milburn]

Another player who showed great potential in his first year who seemed to lose it after some injury troubles. I do think this one could come back to bite us in the future if Thurlow can rediscover the form that impressed us all initially. I wish him all the best for the future.

Even if he does well, doesn't mean it bites us.

 

[dazbroncos]

sucks...

Reckon Jacko can play and will probably end up being played in a position to his skillset and do damn well.

And good luck to him.

Sydney got a good bargain there...
