he will be at box hill this week wont he?
Nope, I'm just pointing out that whilst he was sharpening his pencils and laminating his text books, Thomas was pulling down hangers in front of capacity crowds.
That's all.
And from what Thomas did on Thursday I am glad they let him finish....he was garbage but not as bad as Cloke, he is an absolute Joke is Cloke...

Hehe.Nope, I've already said he could be good - who would know based on his showing thus far?

That's all.
Thomas was more ready made and what Collingwood were after. Not only did we know when we drafted Ellis that he wouldn't be available last year but with his frame would take time. After seeing the way he uses the ball and reads the play etc I'm pretty confident with Ellis already.
Having said that Thomas has shown a lot and it can not be argued really that Thomas is a fair way in front of Ellis because he is. Its all specualtive what Ellis will become, could be a star, average player or as Zeke said a Fiora, but I really like what I see so far, just what we need with all our other inside mids.
Who was the number 2 draft pick the year Cloke was drafted?
^^^Unsure Timmy but you seriously can't consider Cloke as a genuine star who will take you to a flag??? His performance was garbage, Thomas did some silly things but has true potential....I reiterate Cloke= Joke
How did it get to this, I know Zeke compared him to Thomas and ruined what should have been a short and quite thread.
I watched it, it the vein hope that you would beat the Cokers but alas as per usual it was all in vein.....Thomas did some silly things, but Cloke played disgraceful, when you needed him to stand up he was flat out on his anal...
The answer 'no' would have sufficed.
Yes
...and sincerely did want you guy's to win...absolutely craps me off watching teams get so close to the Chooks here and get beaten...one day 
Zeke you cannot compare Ellis to Thomas, when Ellis has a full year of AFL footy behind him compare the two.The answer 'no' would have sufficed.
KK I will bookmark this page, and remind you this time next year.

Birchall. You know the one who's taller, more talented, has better footy smarts, faster, better skilled, and younger then Pendlebury. You know, the one who everyone raised an eyebrow when you drafted him at no5 ahead of clearly more talented players.

You're a fool. Ellis is a project player, Thomas is obviously not. You will not get much more improvement out of Thomas.

Chances are he will, as there'll be a few inclusions into the side - like Bateman. Though if AC and co have made a conscious decision to blood him this year then he'll retain his spot at the expense of McGlynn or Clarke.

How do you know that?
Ellis will go back to Box Hill this week in order to play a full game. I wouldn't be surprised if Clarkson rotates Ellis and Muston every 2 weeks to get them used to the big time, whilst giving them confidence down at Box Hill. The same goes for Roughead, Dowler, Thorp, Renouf, Little and the other draftees from 2006. We aren't in a hurry to rush them in the side as we were with Lewis, Roughead and Franklin.

Yeah. I remember Mark McGough winning the ANZAC Medal in his first season too. Bloody champion that kid. Not sure what happened to him, but boy! Those ANZAC Day blockbusters are something else.
Not sure why you'd compare Ellis to Thomas, unless you want to share with everyone you're own insecurity over Collingwood's drafting. Thomas plays for the Pies and will be a good terrier across half forward. Ellis plays for Hawthorn and will be a cool playmaker across half back.
Who cares what these guys produce in their first 3 seasons? Most people will judge them on what they're able to achieve in the 10 years after that. Do you remember Philip Walsh? Rookie Of The Year he was. How about Heath Shepherd? Or Jason Cloke?
or to wind up you Tassie hawks nuff nuffs. Not half working.

I've been really impressed with his decision making more than anything.
