Why the hell is it that when every dud is sacked from another club cos they are obviously not good enough why the hell do people start saying should we get him WHY DO WE WANT HIM, we already have Brown (the best in the business), Krakouer  Lids and Bling not to mention Petrified so where is he gonna play??????????????

NO THANX JUST ANOTHER DUD NEXT! :P

Like i've said on many occasions craig, there is alot of people on this forum that have no idea about football. It just frustrates you when we keep seeing crap like that!

Well TT and Craig please enlighten us as to why Thurley is a dud. And please don't just be ignorant and say it's because he's been let go by the CATS because if everyone who was let go by a club was a dud there must be a massive list of dud footballers out there!  Tell us what his shortfalls are.  I'm guessing you haven't even seen him play in fact wouldn't know him if he knocked on your door now.  I'm all for a "no duds" policy but there has to be objectivity to it.

Still waiting!
 
GOOD IF kANGAS TAKE tHURLEY ANDS ITS NO SURPRISE NONE OF OUR DELISTEES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AS mORRISON AND hILTON WERE PROVEN DUDS.
 
Fairly heated discussion when the thread itself is pretty normal. PSD draft is recycled player territory - some can play but have issues - eg Zed and Cupie Doll and some haven't had much of a go like Thurley. The trick is always choosing when to take a stab and make that player turn around or finding that hidden success story like Tuck. Some players you just know neeed to be sacked by one club before they actually knuckle down and become an AFL player.

Off season you always ask the question of any player who is available and who like Thurley doesn't immediately rule themselves out. Thurley for example is still young and hasn't done that badly with the chances he has had. Any upside - probably not, but worth asking the question to the forum certainly. Thurley was even more attractive in my opinion because his club still wanted him - so not a reject just a guy after a better deal.

Hardly therefore an issue for a long rant Craig.

For the record I want us to pick up the best junior gem we can get in the PSD rather than the best recycled hack. 8)
 
I'll take it then that Craig and Tigertough don't know why Thurley is a dud but that he's just a dud.
