I agree that is what he has been - but the defensive pressure thing works in all parts of the ground. If he isn't up to it in the forward line, how can he be up to it in the middle? The forward line has plenty of speed in Betts and Cameron, be interesting what Walsh has in mind for the old brute.No - he's an inside mid only, the forward line needs speed for defensive pressure , keystone for phils game plan

writing on the wall for the old bull I reckon
I tend to agree
The order for me would be:Who would you guys rather play this year? Thommo, Lyons or M. Crouch if it came down to it?
The order for me would be:
Lyons - Crouch - Thommo
M Crouch & Lyons just need to be exposed to the game more. Hell, who knows, if we actually play our less experienced and talented youthful mids, instead of dropping them in and out of the side and putting them in vests, they would become experienced. After this Hamstring, if Thommo breaks down again, put the fork in him.Who would you guys rather play this year? Thommo, Lyons or M. Crouch if it came down to it?
This was one of the potential injury issues I had heads up on weeks back. Sounds like they tried to nurse him through and he's re-injured again based on how the article is written?
When the Crows make finals, I want Thommo in the midfield. Needs to be carefully managed over the year so he's good to go come the pointy end of the season.

True but Lyons is ready I reckon. An unfit Thommo is a hindrance. Just lacks all mobility when he's sore. We're gunning at 2-3 years from now and this is likely Thommo's last year.
If Thommo's performing at that time of the year and the Crows are a chance of going forward in the finals it would be a no brainer to select him. **** the experience for those three, give me a ****ing finals win!I don't actually.
The experience would be more valuable for a M.Crouch, Grigg, Lyons etc. Having Thommo in there sadly is a waste.

You only think this because you think everyone on our list is AA worthy.thommo to prove the doubters wrong

An unfit Thommo is definitely a hindrance. A fully fit Thommo is a gun, albeit aging, midfielder who has an important role to play as long as he's on the list. I'm a fan of Lyons and M Crouch, but they aren't at Thommo level yet. Fingers crossed at least one of them can get close.

It's only a small hamstring issue, theirs 4 weeks to round 1 he should be fit.
No. But the other guy is playing tomorrow - not as serious as first expected.Is everything you heard now public knowledge?
