Pretty happy with the side. The only 2 players not in my best 22 (Schammer and Hayden) are injured, and are replaced by McManus and Woods.

 

[Rob]

Our bench looks pretty weak compared to theirs. Still, I guess that's why they won a flag.

And I still rate Grover ahead of Thornton. Just.

 

[Brickie]

Wouldnt surprise if Grover or Dunn came in for Thornton, will depend if Port go in with both Primus coming back or Lade who carrying a back injury. Glad Roger James isnt playing he cuts us up every time.

 

[Kenny_01]

I rate Thornton when fit as one of our top dozen players.

Top 16 certainly, I posted this on another thread

"Plenty of pace there with Macpharlap, Thornton , Parker , Macca , Black , Headland , Splinter & Farmer.
One Melee Dodd is no slouch either.

Good looking team, great defense, plenty of grunt , lots of height & marking power , hopefully lots of goalkicking power with Pav, Justin , Potato , Meds & the Wiz

Looking good."

 

[Reveler]

thornton rocks.. you watch the game and you go "whats that white flash?", "WHeres the ball".. then you see the little albino rebounding out of the back line.

the guy is pure class.

Agree Rip mate but Macca and pace don't go together.

I agree Brickie......having seen Thornton plays for Sooth's, can't believe he gets a gig. Dunn is 10x the player Thornton will ever be....therefore, glad he's playing.

I can't remember many occassions Thornton was beaten last night.

Actually I can't think of many occassions Thornton has been beaten in his whole career (I've wiped Sav from memory).

Parker Mark II.
