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

[AdmiralBenson]

The actual number 1 pick of the draft.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Special, game changing ability.

 

[Shermanator]

Special, game changing ability.

Always clean too - one touch specialist

 

[Bugsy Malone]

3rd most pressure acts ever by a 19 year old against the pies. This kid could be one of the best players in the comp in a few years.

 

[giantroo]

 

[ferball]

That's an amazing stat.

Not really surprising tho. He'll probably have the top three for a 19 year old by season's end.

 

[giantroo]

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Impressive young man.

Not sure what that pre-draft nonsense was about, but I’m glad we got him.

 

[Kimbo]

The confidence increase already. He knows...

 

[DarkPhoenix]

"When it's my turn to go, I'll go. No question about that"

BAM

 

[The Warlord]

The big breakout game is coming, you can just feel it. When it does, look out.

Kinda like how California is now just waiting on The Big One.

 

[thumping]

The kid makes you smile! We’ve got a bloody good one In TT!!!!

 

[RobZombie]

Bread had the best touch over about 40m I’ve ever seen. Pity about all the rest of it.

 

[tazaa]

His last quarter was elite

Can’t wait till he hits his prime

Interesting comparison to what Rayner did last year with Tazz this year.

He has been so much better than I expected.

Rayner is lucky to even be playing this year. Purely gifting games because of his number 1 status.

It will be interesting to see if Fagan backs him in to play a big final if he keeps performing like a s**t truck?

Thomas has statistically been better than him this year.

Hitting the scoreboard every week so far in his debut season:

 

[Snake_Baker]

Connor Rozee has returned 3 x 0.0 this season.

Tarryn will be just as good as a forward and BETTER as a midfielder.

Tarryn will become a 40+ goal elite midfield/forward.

 

[King Corey]

Still waiting for the "extended until 2022 update".

 

[Mav]

Connor Rozee has returned 3 x 0.0 this season.

Tarryn will be just as good as a forward and BETTER as a midfielder.

Tarryn will become a 40+ goal elite midfield/forward.

Rozee played very little time forward when playing senior footy. His best footy was across HBF and in the middle and he's been stuck into a dysfunctional, ever changing forward line to learn. Thomas should be a better forward.

I reckon we're going to see some ding dong battles between these two in the years to come. They are both very clean with their hands, both make great decisions and both are very good overhead.

 

[BoomerRoo]

Still waiting for the "extended until 2022 update".

It's not far away

[shintemaster]

How clean is he. Pretty sure the only time he actually fumbled tonight was an intentional one when caught on the boundary line. Amazing touch.
