Player Watch #39: Tom Blamires

[DocSholl]

Tom Blamires = the Blichard

 

[Makeshift Park]

Who has he been training with?

The defenders?

 

[giantroo]

 

[Dinkers]

Blamiers aye, always thought a VFL mid should be getting the ball 30 plus times at that level.

I think Blamiers, Goater and Hardeman will transform our stale backline.

Then Logue , Comben and currently Pink to fill the KB roles. With Daniel nee Dinkers for the 7th defender. Free up Mckercher and FOS. Yes than can still spend sometime down back .
And away we farking go .

I see no reason Blamiers won't be successful with how the modern game is played.

And if he and Trembath both become best 23, will we reconsider our mid/pre season selections as a positive.

He was part of the back 6 at Friday's session.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

A bit sneaky by WC there.

Thanks. Was RHJ part of the defensive group too?

 

[Passmore]

Thanks. Was RHJ part of the defensive group too?

No. He was on Orange team.

TBH I have zero idea about Tom, but what I’m reading is?..

• deemed not VFL level
• works ass off to make VFL squad
• then works ass off to win VFL MVP
• deemed not AFL level
• works ass off to make AFL squad

Give me one of these types any day!

Good luck young man.

‘He wasn't aware players could still trial and be signed through to the deadline on March 2. But the half-back had put his head down at Frankston over the pre-season and was ready when Rawlings called.

"To be honest, I didn't even know that it was still a possibility that SSP trials could go to that late," Blamires said. "I got a call on a Friday morning when I was on a morning walk, just as I normally do, and Brady called me saying, ‘We'd love to have you down to train for the next couple of weeks'.’ - Delist. Working in AFL capacity and unaware of important dates and info. Liability already.


Kidding. really want to see he and urqs plus McKercher/Ldu as a rotation

They're ****ing everywhere in the VFL/States leagues.
The AFL has had an injection of these players in recent years.
North should draft more.

One correction Sherm - VFL Young Player MVP.

Not the Brownlow equivalent.

That would require us reining in the nepo hires so we actually have list space.

It would be an intersting exercise to use every pick outside the top 20-25 picks on the top, established and ready to go VFL performers.

 

[Makeshift Park]

No pressure Tom, but if you could show us today how you're gonna become a Starcevich-Atkins hybrid who can convincingly sub both McDonald and Wardlaw, that'd be awesome, thanks mate.

Should done that in clarkos first 2 seasons and even Shaw/noble yrs instead of taking duds like Howe , Turner , menadue

 

[sheridan]

[kanga kanga kanga]

Officially the best tom on the list.
