Injury relegates Thomson
June 14th 2008 02:00
PORT ADELAIDE coach Mark Williams has responded to a newspaper column by former Port player Josh Francou, saying midfielder Adam Thomson has been forced back to the SANFL because of concerns about his osteitis pubis rather than his form.
Francou suggested in his column that Thomson was out of favour and should leave the club, but Williams said the 21-year-old was an important member of the side and needed some rest to recover.
"It's tough for people outside the club to know but Adam has been rested in regards to o.p. and the signs of that," he said.
"We've valued Adam's input into the side much more than any other year to the fact that we didn't drop him, we gave him time off."
