It was lucky, Thompson said.After some initial struggles with location, injury and form, Enright quickly found his feet.Thompson was stumped when asked to remember the last time he saw Enright play a bad game.Once he got going after a couple of years, it was almost like you had to teach him how to play, and give him the games to play, and then once he learned the game, you didnt have to coach him any more, Thompson saidHe just turned up.He was just easy to coach and a great bloke.You just sit back and enjoy hes a Geelong player, because he was such a good player.Thompson, who coached the Cats to the 2007 and 09 premierships, rated Enright among the best five players during his time at the club.He adds Enright is also easily among the best five people he has met during his decades in the game.Him and his best mate - (Matthew) Scarlett. Both of them are top blokes, Thompson said.Theyre wired the same way, I think. Jaguars Super Bowl Jerseys From China . Here are his mid-season NBA awards.
