cant remember seeing him play, but Thomas would seem a good cheap pick up. Good size (185/85 odd), age (26) and tough in the Hardwick mould (15 poss/ 5 tackle avg over 90 or so games).
Matt Thomas. He's been given a go and shown he's not afl std. Why not give someone like Cain a go instead. Don't understand this recycled crap players. U known wat ur getting with Thomas, not much. With Cain?? He may just adapt and click in afl circles..... Pies have the right idea with rookie spots - mature proven state players who could step up. Gotta give them a go and see wat happens

Thats far enough lids, and i'm not necessarily advocating getting Thomas, but with the new tigers vfl team, I think list management will be slightly different. We cant have 20 x 18-22 year olds running around in the 2nds, there will have to be a few competant journeymen in there. The reigning magarey medalist, with a big body and some experience could add some cheap depth, experience and competitiveness, mostly to the 2's with perhaps a handful of servicable games in the 1's as required. A big factor in this type of spot on the list will be $$$$. If you had a bloke on $250K doing this, your in strife, but if a bloke is on $75K performing this role, your probably doing OK.
Understand ur point but is till think a Cain for eg can do this. He's mature enough. And also I don't think we should be using the tigers list spots predominately to recruit seconds players.tigergollywog said:
If it's the case as ur saying with Thomas put him on the ressies list as sell him the fact that we will be watching him every week and if performing May get on our afl list the year after. Don't know something like that but we shouldn't waste senior spots for ressies players. I'm sure players would be willing to play under an afl structured ressies team as they are in the faces of senior coaches all the time pushing their cases to the main men.
Looks like the Pies are going to get Conlon at 65. Would love him at 68 - super talent, just injured. Would be tempted at 50.
Wonder if Meriyck Buchanan will get picked up. Similar type to brother Amon. Very talented family - Liam coulda been a contender as a batsman if he didn't love the sauce so much.
