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

[Heaps of fun]

I'd heard that he was 191, but I don't think anywhere has confirmed that.

191 or 192 would be good, any higher than that, it starts getting to almost tweener levels, not sure he's a key tall.

Bontempelli is 192, Goodes was 191, O'Loughlin was 190, Cripps is 195cm but he's very inside and lacks the agility.

191-192 is the sweet spot.

I call it the Andrejs Everitt Zone.

Are you basing that on his slight frame?

No, seen him play 6 or so games. And his marking didn't seem particularly strong. Even today at training he had lead back hard into space and got a longish kick put into space. The kick did sit up a little but Clarke came back with the flight and did enough to cause him to drop it.

To me Thomas needs time and space to utilise his strengths. I can't see him getting this as a forward.

Fair enough. I thought he played a lot forward in the tassie league.

FWIW, The best forward since Carey, Buddy, is an average mark and uses space to kick goals.

I’m not saying he’s the next buddy, but I don’t want to pidgin hole him either. I reckon he could be anything.

Buddy's marking is only average compared to other great forwards.

I made mention back in October about a thing I heard that TT is tracking like Buddy now with his growth but I still can't remember where I heard it (I'm sure it was TAC Superstars or whatever that show is on a Sunday morning on 9).

Actually had the Tasmanian AFL Academy team on hand. Born 25 March 2000.

First glance you’d swear it was his Dad.

Sounds like we’ve recruited a generation of Montagues and Capulets.

Far cry from Mullett

Looks like TT and other Tassie players will now be eligible to play for our VFL side.

Hopefully he can work on his sore feet, bad knees, dodgy shoulders and addiction issues by the time VFL starts then.

Both entities have been involved in talks for a while now. Was certainly a topic of discussion at the TSL GF when I attended… I actually quite like the idea in principle, more info would be good tho.

Nothing can cure his Marfanism though.

Interesting that Scott is allowed to train with us, despite being part of GC academy?

Maybe he has nominated us unofficially

He is also part of our F/S academy so can train with both. Probs can yrain with Cats too.

I think they are free to train with all clubs, I think Blakey had a few runs with us.

Except this year, the boys have been in our FS academy since 2014.

Looks like Scott chose to train at all 3 clubs while Blakey only chose the Swans. Not a good sign.
