Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

[Kangaroos4eva]

How much longer are people going to persist with the notion of Tarryn Thomas as a small forward? He's taller than Ziebell and likely still growing.

They are lured in by his defensive traits and the fact that he is a fairly silky player.

Because we don't like using the term medium sized forward. He is a forward pressure player at the moment, that is his major contribution. Then he will be the creative HF goalkicker, then classy mid.

Who said he's a small forward?

He's made to play in traffic.

Clamps on tackles like an MMA fighter and can dish off inside a telephone box.

Physical development.

He'll play soon enough anyway.

His no less developed than stevenson was last year.

Do you believe those things?

Completely different players anyway mate. Stephensen is fast twitch, Tarryn is height to weight strength.

 

[koshari]

Looked to have pretty fadt twitch muscles when he launched himself for that mark in the tassie granny.

Tarryn's also been playing TSL seniors for the past 2-3 years, and is a good lean cut kind of skinny. Which makes me think he’s more like Bailey Scott than Curtis Taylor on the readiness spectrum.

Thomas for Turner is the SOLDBCOTY (sticking out like dog's balls call of the year).

Has to play this week if we're serious about improving.

I said he could fill that spot, I never said he's a small forward. He's a midfielder but his arsenal allows him to play as a small forward with his tackling pressure and ability to kick goals RE: Tassy league Highlights.

I'd bring him in to get a taste.

 

[hilly]

Might be risky to play him. Unlike the 17 other clubs, we never have anyone who could possibly play as an 18 year old and upstage the greats of the game that kept Fremantle to about 28 goals.

No Mazda?

 

[nicko74]

I am more interested in his licence to dominate

 

[King Corey]

Great news for him. He can drive himself on Sunday to watch our best 21 in action.

 

[koshari]

good to see a liquorland conveniently positioned across the road from the license testing center.

"Best"

 

[Billy Not Really]

How tall is TT?

Can he be a second tall forward option?

No.

 

[Billy Not Really]

No.

**** it. Just plonk him forward somewhere anyway. Like a HFF.

 

[shinboner magic]

Will debut in bards last game as coach - so round 12

A late in today?, just noticed Rhyan Mansell (kid from tassie we were looking at and Tarryn’s good mate) has uploaded a picture of Tarryn to his IG story and captioned it with “Good luck on the debut brother”.

I’m dragging my arse to the footy today, I really hope so. Something to look forward to.
