2 goals and 2 goal assists in the first quarter. I’m blown away by what he’s doing already. Going to be a dead set colossus.

Given the quality of his possessions (5% cleaner and half the clangers of rozee), if he builds a tank and gets to more contests then look out. the damage he could do with say 5 more positions a game on average would be immense. compared to Rozee it would appear that Taryyn has a little more room to rise to. Rozee has pretty insane numbers atm, one would think he is possibly playing closer to his ceiling already? regardless Walsh, Rozee and Thomas are all going to be stars.
God forbid - Thomas could be another Gary Rohan and is already at his peak...
You are so right mate or this higher ceiling stuff is so hit and miss it should not even be a talking point. What actually do people mean when they say player x has a higher ceiling than player y in what context do they mean. All players mature differently some faster some slower some not at all so to try and predict some ones ceiling is virtually impossible and ceiling is not the right word potential maybe.They are all kids in their first year.
All this talk about "ceilings" is ridiculous. God forbid - Thomas could be another Gary Rohan and is already at his peak...
I get your point mate, but I'll give you odds on that not occurring.
I concede Thomas has already produced Gary Rohan stats in 10minutes of footy.
But just pointing out that talented rookies can go to **** pretty quickly.

The crumb is a thing of beauty but then watch as he presses ‘PAUSE”; the play opens up in front of him and then ‘bang’ pings it to s teammate . I think it was ultimately taken over iirc but nice work!!!

Rohan is having his best year this year. By miles. He could improve a bit more over the next couple of years as well.
Dunstall and Riewoldt (a surprisingly good special comments man if you can tolerate his voice) made the point on the broadcast that with young players, you judge how they do things rather than how much they do things, as an indicator of how good they might be.
Wasn't hard for him, he should've left Sydney years ago, he was completely misused and overshadowed by Franklin.
He played when the game was there to be won what more can you ask forLoved his first qtr but we disappointed that he went out of it after that. Only 4 touches from qtr time but expected of a youngster. Her really knows how to use it and its very explosive

He got tagged after the first quarter.
Dew was anxious of him.
Yep amazing first quarter and the kid has so much upside, he is going to be a superstar, but he won't be getting the rising star nom this week due to the fact that he fizzed out of the game after quarter time.Loved his first qtr but we disappointed that he went out of it after that.

To clarify, i was pretty much simply using the term to suggest given the quality of TTs usage that he may become a very dangerous player compared to other draftees of the same year, feel free to replace the term ceiling with whatever makes you more comfortable.You are so right mate or this higher ceiling stuff is so hit and miss it should not even be a talking point. .

Not a very strong week for nominations tbh, I expect he'll get it, unless they give it to Naish for a pretty decent first game.
He'll get it on supercoach points... TT that is.It's a media award so the silly points should see him get up (he deserves it anyway).
