Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part III] - [C.Twomey] AFL rules TT is eligible to play in all competitions as of 14 October

[Devington]

He could:

• Move back to NSW (he was originally?)
• Play bush footy for a bit
• Earn some coin at country leagues
• Continue to keep himself fit and let his footy and talent show
• Get onto a VFL/SANFL/WAFL list and play next year with a view to getting on the Tassie list

Or, he could try suing the AFL and earn money drug dealing in the meantime.

 

[krakouers]

Play bush footy 2026, proceed to vfl 2027, then sign with Geelong/Richmond 2028. Sounds easy enough for a reasonable person as is the legal test, but somehow I can't see him following that. This is all provided he keeps fit and stays out of the media.

See, would have gotten him a gig last year even at a lower league… few low level appearances and donated any money to women’s charities and domestic abuse centres… had him do unpaid work with girls teams helping them, even if he had to go public and do a formal apology with the Huddle team
Get him a gig this year with a ressies VFL team and work his way into the firsts… don’t nominate for the Mid Season no matter how tempted, Aim either for a rookie spot or a late draft pick, or look to get Picked up the next year
Dunno wether they tried that and was shot down or what… just seems very peculiar

Yeah… plan ZZQ

Ballarat RSL - the driveaway prices are hot hot hot

Agree. If he has any desires to improve as a human being and returning to the afl field one day he should be working voluntarily or at the very least donating to women's dv related organisations. But unfortunately he doesn't by the looks of things.
Just sounds a very toxic person.

Instead he'll apply for a "motor dealers licence" and make "bank" selling "second hand cars"

Do you mix baking soda with “used cars” ?
Asking for a friend…

Baking soda, Ajax and very finely ground glass shards if you want a nice "cut and polish"

The odds of him going to jail are far greater than him ever playing another AFL game.
Wasted talent, shame

 

[krakouers]

well... guess this ends the whole "oh he's going to Gee and winning him a premiership in the next draft" conversation...

My brother in Christ, this will only enhance the redemption story!

It might just delay it a little

 

[roos_fanatic08]

How stupid would you have to be?

We dodged a major bullet here, just disappointed we wasted 12 months of resources trying to get him on the right track.

Collingwood list manager just cracked a stiffy.

Yeah, 2 years min… plenty of time to be the poster child of the Tassie team

 

[Pres]

I think most of us assumed he'd start dealing drugs when the footy cash ran out but I'm a hair surprised he's at that point already.

 

[nelroo]

He hasn’t hit rock bottom yet this bloke. Jail time might. He obviously is not wanting /able to change. Was never really about football for him it was the lifestyle.

 

[tricknologist]

Thank god we turfed this walking disaster. Where are the usual suspects who throw dirt at the club for getting rid of him?

 

[Only Forwards]

Lol

 

[Dinkers]

I'm sure those that were upset by the thought of Tarryn suiting up elsewhere are breathing a sigh of relief.

Where as those who felt the club didn't handle the situation well, still feel the same. Of course now he hasn't an income to suit his lifestyle, and isn't smart enough to clean the shithouse at NMFC, he's turned to drugs to make ends meet. Meaning feed his no doubt extravagant lifestyle.

And days end it is tragic from a sense of wasted life and wonderful opportunity, one that most don't ever get.

I was disappointed in him for his actions while at North, and I'm disappointed in him again. I would have been ok had he got his shit together, returned and played well elsewhere.

 

[tommy_uman]

Letting him go was the best decision this club has made in 5 years. Its a shame he was ever at the club and having an influence on younger blokes (eg. JHF - I know he's spud but haven't TT as a 'mentor' ....)

 

[nelroo]

If it’s his first time trafficking.. I assume that is what he has been summons for it maybe possession? How likely is jail time ?

 

[Elroo]

Summons issued, what a peanut.

It does depend on the amount of course, and this seems his second attempt in 3 weeks . Goodness.
