Scott Thornton Stays With Dockers
With a lot of players wanting to go to Fremantle the Dockers will have to find things to trade for them. One possibility was defender Scott Thornton, the Dockers are loaded with tallish defenders and Thornton might have been a player Victorian clubs were interested in.
But Thornton will stay with the Dockers after agreeing to a new contract. Fremantle have Mundy and Johnson as young stars in the backline and Thornton is a player who could join them as the veteran Shane Parker will have a decreased role now.
Thornton's signing could also indicate that McPharlin could play forward more in 2007. While McPharlin is a great fullback the Dockers do need a spark up forward and the leaping McPharlin can provide that.
The Dockers also are bringing back Grover. One player not mentioned is Polak, and he is a player who could have a big impact on trade week.
It has really been a big week for players called Thornton.
