I sat in front of * fan who started sledging Thornton before the game started. He got a rousing farewell when he left early.

Had high hopes of Murray Vance when drafted turned into an absolute bust.

He did (accidentally) kick the winner against the Tigers that nearly destroyed their supporters. Gotta give him some kudos for that.

Sure it wasn't a Blues fan? Saw a few get angry with him at games, usually before he did anything wrong.

with fair reason - had a touch of the goddards when things turned to s**t - and they mostly turned to s**t back in the day

Never really forgave him for giving Simpson a spray after the resting ruckman took a mark over Thornton and Simmo missed the contest by a couple of seconds. If Thornton thought he was outsized by his opponent, still struggling to work out how he thought Simmo was going to fix the problem.

Not that day. Think he surprised himself and us.
Feel for our players over the last 10-15 years. We did them no favours.
I'm still expecting him to come out next week and play a blinder. I mean surely a pick 6 in a draft has got to be a gun or close to it?
Thornton did use to s**t me sometimes.
End of day blame any bad habits he got from following Pagan instructions to the letter back in the day.
Even when Pagan left some of those habits were hard to remove from his game.
All in all, handy type in worst era of our clubs history.
Nice for him to experience a couple of finals wins in his last few years.
I thought Rod Wadell would be ok.
Think he ended up at Geelong like Diesel.

Spoke to Scott Burns one day and asked him who was the toughest player he had to stand. Said Rats without hesitation. Said he had the best hands and read of any player he had seen.
Michael Aitken (at least I think he is the person), thought he was going to be at the club for a long time then he decided to go and be a doctor.

Wasting pick #13 on a ruckman who never rucks.
