Problem solved

I see he got zero centre bounces on Sunday. Don't know what to make of that. Extending him seems like an error, I would have let him go. Think he is just an average role player who had a good September in 2021.

Don't really agree. I'm not really a fan, but 2 years is a good call. We'd barely get a 2nd rounder for him and there's not a lot of blokes on our list that's any good around that mid 20s age. Is it Goodys coaching? Is Tom just average? We've got 2 more years to find out and atm the depth for his spot is Laurie who looks worse than Sparrow. Hopefully Taj or Kynan steps up and pushes for his spot.

 

[Proper Gander]

Keep him around as the team enigma I say

good player. runs both ways, does the team things, puts his body on the line and is a long, straight penetrating kick. Being played out of position. I'll take a player with his competitive streak over a guy that gets numbers on the stat sheet.

Good player only? You've downgraded him from 'great' i see.

It seems the stat sheet only matters when it favours your argument.

That's not very nice to Clayton

Thankfully Clayton does both

So you're suggesting that there's a conspiracy theory that for whatever reason I must say that i like Tom Sparrow footy or the alternative is that i actually think he is a decent player.

There was a time when people wanted ANB out of the team, for years. I was never one of them despite his low numbers. The ANB haters are still out there but very quiet these days.

 

[Topkent]

Just don't ******* humour him. Seriously nothing he says makes a word of God damn sense and he just drags everyone down with him

 

[danster168]

Beggees belief how this bloke gets a game...

The more annoying part is we've just signed him to a bloody 2 year deal.

This aged well. Time to wake up. One of our best today.

Great player again or sticking with the downgrade you made this week to good player?

Don't think it covers anyone in glory flip flopping on players week by week, bad game = he sucks, good game = he's a gun.

At least give it a half season or so.

He was very good today, laid 7 tackles and seem to have a purpose rather than last week where he just looked lost. However it's only been one week, if he can start to do it consistently then I'd suggest you can start calling people out.

People questioning his spot in the team, well he just showed why he was today. People should give credit when its due.

 

[Headless]

Good game.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Happy to say he had a good game. 1 out of 3 so far, certainly not due

Pretty much this.

He played a pretty bog average year last year, this year he has played one good game and two bad ones.

I want the guy to succeed, at his best he is very handy. Consistency is his biggest issue and I hope he can overcome that.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Thought he was good today. More of that thanks Jack!

Good game today Sparrow but I want to see that again and again, and again and again and again

I can only assume he reads this thread and I got him fired up.

Sugar isn't the only one getting in their eyes and looking in their ears.

 

[ABray10]

Has been needing to lift and he did today. Forgetting stats, he had some really impactful moments.

Hopefully gives him a benchmark for the rest of the season
