Not that I want him but isn’t he 196cm?

1 cm shorter than Cameron and Kennedy doesn't sound like the be all and end all. I'm more interested in the fact that he's 24, and as a young kpf kicked 35 goals from 36 games in a pretty terrible saints side without a lot of forward line support. Seems like he could be an astute pick up.

35 Games of AFL football...no I am not sure what his longest sequence of games has been. I don't disagree that he hasn't impressed, his injuries have not really helped him do it. He is a tried and tested rookie in a sense. As a free hit, you go with it I think. I wonder from a pure football consideration sense, how this impacts Tom? Does it make him even more settled and happy or does it give him something else?

Hes only 193cm and has diabetes.
Not especially agile.

Just my opinion. Hope im wrong.

Ive seen him listed at 195cm but am aware that this could be wrong. Seems low cost with a potential high reward so I'm on board - probably less risk ($ wise and injury wise) than Daniher imo, which to be fair is also offset by much less idea of what his ceiling might be.

TheMase · Oct 5, 2020

Tom is 193cm and I didn’t see many complaining about him becoming a key forward.

The voice of reason . He was a big bodied kid in 18's , now he's fit , trim and ready to go. Oh well we stay with Sam Reid who wouldn't even catch Covid at Rydges on Swanston

SwansProudly · Oct 5, 2020

So if we have Paddy and Tom McCartin in 2021 and by chance draft Tom Papley's younger brother Will - we have two sets of brothers

So in my 3 score and ten+ years <cough, splutter, where are my glasses?, my hearing aids?, ...> we had the Daniher brothers and Tony and Paul Morwood.
Any other brothers?
I doubt two sets of brothers?

Unsure if been posted elsewhere or if this is the right thread given it's social media, but this was hilarious!

Why don't we get Blakey's brother?

His worst year on record and he's still one of the top contested marks in the comp

If we sign him and he plays, I want him to perform for the team like anyone who wears our colours.

That won't stop me from holding my breath every time he jumps for the ball

Aye. But I used to fear for Kelly and Skilts and heaps of others.

In our last game I held my breath when that knuckle dragger Hawkins put a knee deliberately into Tommy McCartin's head well ahead of the arrival of the ball. Luckily Tom was ok.

Tommy got the free and scum Hawkins lost his rag.

IMO the knuckle dragger was deliberate in his actions and should have got weeks. He was pi55ed off at losing the free. He had been churlish all game at being bested by an undersized Tommy.

With what 1.4 and made top 30 that’s barely worth mentioning

he was top 4 for dropped contested marks*

* might be true I don’t know

From the change in your avatar, I am assuming you like the name "Jack Jumper" for the Tasmania's NBL team?
