Player Watch #39: Tom Blamires

[spurs]

I heard Blamires isn’t playing this week, anyone hear anything?

 

[bennymate]

Please don't drop him

 

[roos_fanatic08]

el stupido if he doesn't play.

 

[chubbspeterson]

He might need a spell. 6 AFL games in a row would be an adjustment with the intensity.

He runs basically more than anyone. Sod the intensity

Yeah as long as it's only a 1 week spell,

 

[Pravda Roo]

No haven't heard anything spurs.

 

[Themanbun]

Get fkd selection panel

 

[Samsquanch]

I’m guessing everyone wanted FOS back in but tough on young Tom as he looked to be doing pretty well I thought.

 

[Masked Avenger]

The lad's been besmirched.

I thought it was his best game last week but what would I know.

 

[tazaa]

Horse for courses, he deserves a game ahead of Spargo and Dovaston. Even Powell.

I don't know. Match committee trying to be too cute here.

-Dovaston the 1st pick from 2025 draft
-Spargo the fancy trade from Melbourne
-Blamires the ugly SSP pick

 

[Shack18]

Very surprised, his run has been very important, opens up space for teammates etc. don’t like this omission, would have had Spargo making way for fos

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

****ing omitted, while we have scrubs like spargo running around

**** off

 

[DocSholl]

Bizarre. We finally had the two wings sorted and we pull this shit

 

[amaz199]

I can see why.

Had a great second half but the game was over. Needed a spell I reckon.

 

[Sticksphat]

Apparently against GWS we don't need run and total effort.

 

[DocSholl]

I can see why.

Had a great second half but the game was over. Needed a spell I reckon.

He was likely exhausted from running to make options we didn't use until the second half. And the game wasn't really over until the third quarter, when he had it 12 times

 

[Dinkers]

Well I suppose we now are running Zurhaar down back, FOS comes in, Simpkin goes to a wing.

Where was he going to play, you cannot suggest he is like for like for Spargo or Dovastan.

"We're all equal once we're on a list."

Sure.

 

[Twinkletoes]

He might need a spell. 6 AFL games in a row would be an adjustment with the intensity.

In all honesty I suspect that’s exactly what’s going on.

 

[roo blitz]

What ? I dont get it. Never saw this one coming. Doesn't say managed and he is playing in the VFL team so dropped. Go figure. Bizarre.

 

[hotchilli]

Stiff but also can appreciate how he’s.being squeezed out as a flow on with the return of FOS.

 

[DocSholl]

Well I suppose we now are running Zurhaar down back, FOS comes in, Simpkin goes to a wing.

Where was he going to play, you cannot suggest he is like for like for Spargo or Dovastan.

I think you could play Simpkin across.half forward pretty easily.

 

[muttley45]

Get back soon Tommy, and bring Hardeman with you

 

[amaz199]

Going from state leagues to the big leagues is a major jump.

If we lose it won't be because Blamires is out although his contribution thus far has been tremendous.

There is a 23 out there that can get the job done.
