Corey Thompson on Steve Matai

[Bulldogs Bin]

I think Corey's performance deserves a huge mention. He was brilliant last night, in particular his defence. His one-on-one tackling was superb despite a miss or two and really contained Steve Matai. On form, he warrants a starting position.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Absolutely agree.

Really taking his chances nicely. Good to see how he is coming along.

 

[ElworthyLad_]

The disadvantage his got is his shortness

Totally agree ,has a massive ticker and great under the high ball

I'm quickly becoming a big fan of this kid. He tipifies what the Bulldogs have always relied on with wingers... small and tough.

He's been maybe our buy of the year in my opinion and I think he's only just scratching the surface of what we'll be seeing of him in the years to come.

 

[Wolfmother]

I am a fan he has passion ,skill, motivation and vision. A future captain for sure

 

[KelpiesHuskies]

he has done well in most of his appearances this year.

 

[Stoofy]

Big fan but not on the wing. Should get a shot at fb.

Marley, I know you hate the idea so I will get you a rake!

 

[JMP2024]

Absolute top class winger, very clever given his size. In the mould of Perrett, does the 1% consistently.
Would be my first choice starting winger week in week out.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

Corey's taller than Hazem El Masri...so saying he's too short for FB is bullshit...

 

[coreyhart]

Just like our other Corey from days gone by (i.e. Corey Hughes), Corey Thompson is all Heart (pardon the pun). Top player. Plays well above his (h/w)eight.

Totally agree ,has a massive ticker and great under the high ball

I'm so sick of hearing this he's too short BS. I'm pretty sure he is the same height as Slater and we never hear people call him too small

 

[NallaC]

He goes well should be given a shot a fb.

Thompson future captain for the dogs? What are you smoking bra

So you wanna compare skaters skill to thompsons? Lol skaters build is completely different and is just a complete athlete

 

[Mr Invisible]

I wonder if perhaps over the offseason Thompson will train up as fullback for 2015?

 

[Kratos]

Can't believe people saying he is too short, Mitch Brown is tall as and is sh!t at catching high balls. At least Corey isn't scared of putting his body on the line.

 

[Karat]

I could be wrong, but is he out leading tryscorer this season?

He has been great for us all year in fact, our backs, while not flashy, have been first rate. They are a group of players striving to do their best for their club. Sometimes they can make mistakes, like everyone else. But they all have my vote.

 

[mearsey]

I have full confidence in him , imo he has overtaken Chase Stanley . Pretty soon he may be partnered by his QLD cup mate who sounds like a gun . Maybe Crusher Cleal is starting to put in lol
