A versatile and athletic tall, Thilthorpe played 15 SANFL games for West Adelaide prior to being drafted. Standing 200cm tall, Thilthorpe is suited to the modern game and has shown an ability to adapt to multiple roles – whether playing as a marking target up forward or as a mobile ruckman who can cover the ground. Thilthorpe made his AFL debut with the Crows in Round Six, 2021, against Hawthorn and kicked 5.0 from 16 disposals and five marks. In 2023, he featured in 22 games, up from 11 in 2022. The tall forward injured his knee during the pre-season in 2024, but made an impressive return, kicking 15 goals in seven games. The forward had a stellar season in 2025 that was awarded with his first All-Australian squad selection after booting 60 goals. Thilthorpe's impact continued to shine, as he featured in 20 games across the 2026 home and away season. His best performance came against Essendon in Round 24 where he recorded 15 disposals and five goals.
