2017 Round 5 : Pre Game thread - Port Adelaide V Carlton

[Professer E]

I don't condone the booing any player (other than drug cheats) but Thomas is, IMO, suffering from "supporters having had a gutful of mediocrity syndrome".  He ain't the only player who gets abuse screamed at him every week.... Rowe (spud!),  White (spud!), Casboult (learn to kick ya clown!), Kerridge (turnover merchant!), Murphy (soft!) and Gibbs (get ya hands dirty jibs!)..... I hear these blokes castigated by these lales all the time but they don't get booed.Thomas has had four years to earn respect through actions...  and hasn't delivered so he has left himself open to criticism.  If he could turn it around I'd fathom the crowd would very quickly jump on his bandwagon.
