Player Watch Riley Thilthorpe

[Rabish Binney]

Looks like he has a bit of mongrel in him which I like.....too many of our players (both past and present) have been too (how do I say this) nice??

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wonder where he prefers to play? Or what mix of positions he likes

 

[Geoffa32]

Refreshing to have a first round draftee who is great at two positions and debate which one he should play.

I'd argue that Saturday was his best game for the club

I know he's kicked 5 goals before in a game, but I think Saturday was his most complete game so far in his career and hopefully a glimpse of what we might potentially be seeing from him in a few years time.

In 53% game time too

Needed to nail another goal or 2 and it would have been match winning. Probably would have got him a brownlow vote.

 

[cmndstab]

The long term plan should be to play him where he’s most effective and best uses his talents

Well sure, but the point is that how we choose to use him now has an impact on how well he will play those roles in the future. To develop into a dominant key forward he needs to play as one, first as foremost.

His stints in the ruck should be primarily about keeping him involved in the game when things aren't going well up forward. If they are going well up forward, keep him up there.

[Peter Doherty]

We can all see the potential for him to be one of the best rucks in the league, what he could bring to that position.

If you could get a Gawn/Grundy with pick 2 you'd take that every day of the week.

It was always a ridiculous assertion that we overpaid if he primarily plays ruck.

 

[SellarStardom]

Let's compare that to the ROB highlights....aghhhb

 

[pjcrows]

Will be a long term gun. Reckon we've got the Thilthorpe, Berry, Rachele and Soligo picks spot on. Need a big bodied skilled mid this year.

 

[Thetrader15]

Where are the Logan McDonald highlights from the weekend?

Time for a new recruiting team!

 

[Geoffa32]

Any truth to the rumour Thilthy said to McHenry "If I can do it, why can't you " after the crumb goal.

I'd like to see us put Rob into the 2s for a month, have Filthy as first ruck with himmeler as a chop out. That way we could give Filth more TOG and frankly, I can't see Himmler being worse than Rob

I guess he felt right at home being back at his home state......

This is a fair comment. There's always people bringing McDonald up whenever he kicks a couple of goals.

First game he's looked like a Man playing, as opposed to a freakish kid.

Wrinklea is excited by RT. We all are wrinkles, we all are.

Himmelberg looked alright ruck/fwd the last few weeks. 60/40 TT and 40/60 berg....

(yes i realise i didn't have to)

Can AA please move past those two dinosaurs

 

[Greenfinger]

Don't really want TT as our main ruck ever.

I feel like he's too good of a player to be belted around in ruck for 100+mins every week. Fatigue playing the position will affect his skill level and creativity.

He's much more dangerous as a forward/CHF option with 5-10 mins a quarter in the middle.

Max Gawn? I’d say he’s pretty damaging

 

[MrBarry]

Looks like he has a bit of mongrel in him which I like.....too many of our players (both past and present) have been too (how do I say this) nice??

I think this is changing to be honest, Fogarty has a ton of mongrel as well.

You can tell Fog enjoys hurting the opposition when he goes in.

 

[Big Dub]

Max Gawn? I’d say he’s pretty damaging

But not really a forward, so hardly a choice.

Luke Jackson a better example, as can play both positions. Jackson projects as a better ruck than forward so will likely play more ruck than forward long term. But if he shows something as a key forward, particularly compared to other choices, will play more minutes there.

Thrilthorpe's upgrade on ROB (or whoever replaces him) probably isn't as big as his upgrade on Himmelberg (or whoever replaces him), so I would expect TT to play more forward than ruck. But that can change depending on which rucks and forwards we bring in.

Right now, I think he projects as a better roaming CHF than ruck or FF.

 

[Sanders]

Just noting his highlights are very similar to early Tippett who spent a reasonable amount of time in the ruck

And hated it. Tippet never liked playing ruck.

Time for a new recruiting team!

Actually Logan had a good game in the VFL on the weekend 19 disposals, 12 marks and 2.1 playing further up the ground, I hazard a guess getting him ready to take over Buddy's role...they're both exceptionally talented KPF's with big futures.
