Thornton

[Freo Big Fella]

I missed the game (bloody cousin getting married during the footy season ), so looking at the stats this morning.I noticed that young Scotty picked up 22 disposals. Was it the usual **********-farting around at half back and in the center, or did he have a decent impact on the game?

Thornton never ******** farts around, he always runs runs runs to provide something from defence, and then usually kicks it long. Sometime he gets easy possesions but that is life when you play half back and your side plays a possesion game.

He is/will be a bloody good player.

Sorry it wasn't meant as a criticism of young scotty. He's a gun. By ******** farting around I meant the whole teams unnerving habit of wasting possesion over half back.


So it was his usual running game then? Good to hear.

Weird kicking style. Solid player though, gives plenty of drive off HB.

Thornton and Parker (bar a few stuff ups ie kicking in) were bloody good. Thorntons drive was very valuable, rate this guy highly.

We needed it after one of the few shockers i've ever seen McPharlin play - something had to be wrong with him, otherwise I hope it was just an off day.

Would love to him put on 10kg of muscle mass , he would be that much more versatile if he could, has potential but that is a very dirty word.

He's the last person you'd expect to be a footy player, but I reckon he's pretty good. Love the way he plays and how his legs seem to get in his way... his stack in the Richmond game was a classic. I reckon he has a lot of potential ...

I caught only ABC tv news tonight. Thornton was the spokesman for the team. I tell ya. It was gold. For those of us who dread public speaking he showed that it's all about trying.

Onya Scotty. I dont know you but you made me feel proud.
Freo is going to get better and better with people like you around.

Scotty's great. I think he has the same sprinting coach as Shane Parker, Dustin Fletcher and Kepler Bradley. They all have that running style that makes you laugh.

Polak, Thornton and Murphy all need to add 5-10kg. Hopefully after another preseason they will all be between 90-95kg.

McPharlin after a fantastic game against port has only been serviceable since. He would be close to having the most free kicks against in the league.
