List Mgmt. Welcome Tom Barrass (Pick 43, 2013 National Draft)

[tesseract]

******* Adonais. And he can football. Good thing we didn't get Rance.

Interesting typo (if you meant Adonis). Adonai(s) is a Hebrew name for God, and is used in place of the ineffable for Jews, Yahweh, or in English, Jehovah.

Bow before your God, mere mortal!

It would be pretty funny in an unfunny way if the game went down to the wire and Barrass has a kick out from a behind, which he sprays and goes directly to a Sydney player, who wins the game in the dying seconds.

The mood in this thread will change in a hurry, but at least we know he'll end up being our B&F winning full back.

"B&F winning full back"? Pffft! You're selling him way, way short. If what Mr Casson said be true, and Tommy B is destined to become GOAT, perhaps he can be an animal sacrifice to himself.

Just referring to Mackenzie's gaffe at the end of that match in 09(?)

I know. My comment was more for my own amusement. Sad, but there it is.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

While we're talking 2009 gaffes why not hope for this too?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Kennedy told 6PR this morning that Barrass will play this week

Oh my

2009 Gaff

 

[Eaglespur]

Darling-esque pipes coming along nicely.

I'd say he needs to do a little bit more close grip bench and tricep pull downs.

I'm blaming you if this happens now

 

[Avalor]

Unlikely for a first gamer, but I hope he tears it up. Really looking forward to seeing what he gives us - a Gov clone, they say ... if so, can't wait till Sunday.

Wash your mouth out young man.

 

[Dark Sharks]

I'm surprised there's even a "will he or won't he" vibe at the moment.

No doubt the club/simmo is spouting all sorts of other options, Yeo to go back (don't you ****ing dare), Sinclair to go back, Mcinnes in, etc etc.

But I mean come on. Barrass is LIKE for LIKE for McGovern and his WAFL form has been outstanding. He's the obvious choice by the length of my johnson.

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

So there is a small chance he will play ?

Heard Nathan Schmook on Sport FM this morning and he seemed to offer a pretty good level of insight on Barrass. He didn't seem to actually know his name but he was aware that the Eagles have some 'first year' player who plays the same role and may be able to fill in for McGovern. Just thought I'd share the expertise that Schmook was able to provide.

Those years he spent as AFL Media's WCE correspondent must have been torture for him.

 

[Off Tap]

What's everyone's thoughts on his game yesterday?

I reckon it was a ripper for a teenager. Showed enough pose under pressure yesterday to indicate that he has a future. He's going to be a 200 gamer for sure.

Agreed.

 

[mick06]

Thought he was ok. 1 on 1 in the air he seemed to zone off a long way and just let his man go, though perhaps this is the instruction. Had quite a few nearly moments in packs and his ground ball win against goodes a highlight.
As expected a bit nervous with the ball taking his time and not spotting up targets perfectly but we have def got something to work with here

 

[Empire_Persian]

Liked the kids game yesterday - very composed for his first, not awkward like other key position players, and had some grit.

 

[Big Cox 88]

Loved him beating Goodes in a one on one.

 

[KaaL]

Was that 50 paid against him? He looked a bit shaky with the ball, it's understandable being a first gamer. He seems lost out there.
