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

[Val Keating]

He’s so annoying the pipe.

It’s weird I’ve grown to like him. I used to think it was just a put on but now I think he’s just legit optimistic.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I remember when he got charged. It was a pretty low act.

Didn't he fully knee drop someone once?

Pretty sure he knee-dropped onto Ken Hunter who took a diving mark in front of him.

 

[Mordecai]

So is he signed up yet?

 

[barnrokn]

Yeah sure.

But he was that dirty the cops had to get involved and charged him (the only time ever in the leagues history) for assault causing grievous bodily harm and the VFL de-registered him for his king hit on Bruns.

The thing is, it probably wasn't in his worst 15 acts on a football field.

In the dirtiest era of football, he stood out as the dirtiest campaigner (by far) in it.

Neville did have a head that required regular panel beating though

 

[barnrokn]

Yeah, he just king hit him from behind, out of nowhere.

It was a pretty low act.

Bruns clocked Tuck earlier and Jacko was swinging at anything that went near him
Different Times

So is he signed up yet?

Would we agree a five year deal is about right?

 

[koshari]

Holy sh*t balls. If he extrapolates THAT month (what 4 games?) into a season he'll top 5 Brownlow/win Sid and push us close to playing finals.

Iam dedicating Eddie Van Halens eruption to TT for 22

 

[Hojuman]

Coward is an apt description. Hi MO was taking blokes out when they didn't suspect it. Cable and Keithy copped it. Mind you, he wasn't handing out much in the '75 GF with Rantall up his arse and Breidas and Kekovich lurking around.

Don't reckon Sam or Arnie would have held back that day if anything had have erupted. Few blokes on both sides could hold their own though.

 

[Colbys Boots]

Matthews was a tough player and at the same time an absolute coward.

The dirtiest player to ever play the game, with daylight to second.

He never won the Brownlow for good reason, he should be thankful there was no MRO panel back then, you could chalk off 150 of his 300+ if there was.

He would have been run out of the league with the current cancel culture. It's quite amazing (but not surprising) that it's very rarely discussed in the boys club circle jerks these days.

Almost unbelievable that the AFLPA MVP was named after him also.

And Ted Whitten would be charged with sexual assault for his infamous squirrel grip.

Certainly enjoying himself in the off-season.

I wouldn't be opposed to some training montages amongst the party montages

Nah that’s boring but since you asked here you go

 

[Kangaroo Cat]

Nah that’s boring but since you asked here you go

You have made me so happy

 

[giantroo]

He's back!

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Lots of work to do on his fitness. Jy put a third of a lap on him over the course of one lap.

 

[The Warlord]

Does he need to work harder?

 

[buttox]

Does he need to work harder?

99% of our list does.

 

[Shinboner1]

Sounds like he's not been doing much training in the pre preseason.

Doesn't appear to have come back with a gut and a coke habit either though.

Surprising considering all the partying I've seen him doing on instagram.

nah he's regularly been posting stories and I noticed he's even got into endorsing some of the nightclubs too.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Not worried tbh. It would be nice if he came back in top condition, but it sounds like the players are getting physically smashed this preseason anyway.
