Love it. Congratulations & well done to JT.

He's had to work hard & I loved him before the suspension.

Good on him, hope he does well & gets a game this week. Really pleased for him.

I recall some time ago when Malthouse asked Beams what's he like & Beams said "A lot better than me"or words to that effect at the time. He was cruelled by foot injuries to start with, then there was the St Kilda festival incident.

He will be hungry and determined. Well done son

Be nice to have at least one fairytale story out of the last 7 years.
Good luck JT

I agree. Well done to the lad. He committed a common indiscretion and paid mightily, but it is to his credit that he has kept fighting and is back on the verge of seniors.

I really feel sorry for him. It's not fair what happened to him and Keeffe. Congratulations on his promotion.

JT is on of 5 no nominated to replace the 2 player omitted. Others nominated are Elliot and Shazza. It will be interesting to see if he plays.

If we are talking of fairy tales the ultimate fairy tale would be to see Keefe return as a mobile and effective tall forward. Something we need desperately

that would be a fairy tale indeed, cos keeffe never has been and never will be a key forward

Well done to the kid. Hope he gets a game and plays well.

Yes I realise that Stui and everytime they pushed him forward he failed. Fairy tale or long shot, I don't think either of us believe it will happen.

We have been trying to get a effective tall option for years and so far we have failed despite numerous attempts

he can be a very good tall defender, lets leave him at that.

Hopefully one of the Macs at VFL can play forward.

Josh would have to be the first Uber driver to play AFL. Well done, there's hope for all other Uber drivers now.

Between my advancing age and masturbatory habits I'm not sure I can even recall the merits of Josh Thomas as a player.

I assume he isn't the gay one on the ABC?

LOL

Our Josh thomas IIRC is very much a Taylor Adams clone, in and under hard nut, with maybe better disposal.

Good stuff, really hope the kid carry son where he left off.

but right now I'd prefer to see Keefe follow on where he left off all those years ago - he was just starting to really get into confidence mode in defence, and right now, we need him there.
