Paul Thomas and matthew lloyd

[vast]

I was wondering if anyone heard a discussion on sen this morning about Matthew Lloyd and Paul Thomas. I only heard the last part of it and Andrew Maher was saying it was amazing what Lloyd did. It sounded like Lloyd was trying to get him redrafted or something. They also mentioned Thomas leaving some letters in the players lockers. If anyone heard what happened the details would be appreciated.

Was hoping Melbourne would take Thomas. Didn't look that bad at all for Essendon IMO and was stiff to get delisted.

Im surprised Thomas, Hunt and even Cupido or Woewodin all didnt find a club yet there are players like Henneman and others still on an AFL list

Um.. are you serious?

He's talking about Sam Hunt, champ.

Sam Hunt was picked by Geelong. Number 30 in the rookie draft.

Henneman has more to offer than Hunt, Thomas and Woewodin.

Cupido didn't get delisted because of his ability.

Cupido, should have been given another chance, after all he may have a mature body and people forget they are only kids. I feel Sheeds and co couldnt get through to him.

Martin Pike was coached at the Kangas under Pagan but only when he went to Brisbane under Leigh and co did he pull his head in.

Wasted talent and a shame another side didnt give him one last chance.

If sheeds and co aswell as matthews and co couldnt get through to him, then i doubt there would be many others out there who could. The change needs to come from within himself.

I don't doubt that he will get another chance with an attitude adjustment and a season of good form in the SANFL. Going to have to be a pretty major turn around though.

Is he still young enough to be rookied?

Happens to the best of us. Points for admitting it.
Think he'll do a fair bit better at Geelong than he did with us. Might even make a key forward of him.

Cupido is 23 so is too old to be rookied now.

You are exactly right, only Cupido can save himself now so to speak. IF at some stage he suddenly does see the light, he can still play 5 or 6 good years of AFL footy. That IF is a big IF though....

Thanks mate - although it's not like I can even say I had a mental blank, I seriously had no idea.

Cupes` problem was having his boom year first up at Essendon , his second was an injury write off and his third he was in out in out off the bench with the instructions " Go on and win it for us Cupes" He`ll be back.

I agree with all of this except "He'll be back." Second chances are rare as hen's teeth after a year away, and never if the problem is attitude.
