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

[nicko74]

Has the potential to be a genuine match winner. And Snake is right, he will do it once or twice and will then become the focus of all opposition coaches/analysts from then on

Just reposting this again.

How good is that play at the 1.42 mark? The defenders had no clue.


Not sure what his best position will be long term. Could he become an Andrew Mcleod meets Luke Hodge creator from the half-back line?

I think an Adam Goodes type role would be perfect.

Utitity and used where and when required from game to game, even within games.

That’s why we need to surround him with premium talent

He's already won a game for us singlehandedly.

His first quarter against Gold Coast.

My family is from exactly where Tarryn grew up (i know a stint in NSW too)

It's a tough area. No suits and ties, hard work.

As much as i think he is very talented, growing up and playing against (some bloody big guys compated to 16yp) men fast tracked him considerably.

The thing I love about tarryn is that he seems so level headed and nothing seems to faze him.

Our youth coming through is super exciting - just need a gun Ruck and key defender to round out our future

Answers every interview question with some form of ‘love playing with the boys’ lol

TT has "IT" - Clean, Evasive, Footy IQ, Toughness, Skill, Offensively Damaging.

As others have mentioned, will absolutely become a focus for opposition teams as early as 2020 when they plan against our forward line.Will definitely need support down there - really need one of Taylor, Hosie or Walker really need to come on as that other damaging half forward that can pop up and kick a couple goals when TT gets locked down.

TT is going to be play lots and lots of midfield.

Like whenever Higgins doesn’t line up in there.

Yep, all the training I've seen he's playing mid. Rhyce was playing him mid at the back end of the season.

He's our best chance to be an absolute top line classy match winning mid a la Dusty, Fyfe, Bontempelli, Dangerfield etc.

giantroo - would it be possible to put together a clip of TT's highlights from 2019? I reckon it would be a beauty!

Best young player on our list by a fair way.

Scott looks good.
