Recommitted Tarryn Thomas [OOC 2024] - Staying at North

[Rich01]

He didn't play at half back against GWS.

If he did, he broke some kind of record considering he attended 62% CBA's, had 19 disposals, kicked 3 goals, had 6 clearances and 7 score involvements and was named North's best on ground....

Yeah that looks like only over 20 possession game he had in the middle. He only had 2 others, against the Bulldogs and Geelong 24 possessions) where he got a lot of ball off half back and in defensive 50.

The rest of the games he’s played he’s had disposals in the teens, with his last three games only averaging 12 possies.

If he’s in the top 3-4 in b&f votes for that period as you are claiming it really shows where the club is at.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I don’t see us trading him this year under contract

But I guess we’d be tempted if someone offered overs that seems unlikely unless gc do to get rid of their first pick that will be absorbed by a bid on walter and think this is their best option for it

 

[Brenton87]

Hopefully TT will stay at North Melbourne and a possible trade for Mac Andrew is laughable, he's only just showing his potential now and contracted to 2025.

 

[pupstar]

Have him in my supercoach so you'd be wrong watched him very closely,

He has had the odd few games where he has done well however he's also had his fair share like the weekend where he is playing on ball and can't get near it,

Being top 3/4 in a team that's lost 17 straights BnF isn't the selling point you think it is not that I think he is anyway

Why is he in your supercoach team then, if he only had the odd good game.

Why would they think that is their best option for their most valuable trading piece?

They need points for their bids and clubs will be banging down their door to get their hands on that first pick.

TT is not going to be anywhere near to the most attractive offer.

Cause he was cheap due to his massive issues on/off field last year

 

[Makeshift Park]

Flanders had been cheaper all year until round 18 and has the same DPP.

 

[perplexed]

Agree. His on field form has been overstated by north supporters since his return.

Averaging 18 disposals and a goal a game in the middle in a side with not much competition for spots is average at best.

How many players average 20 disposals and 1 goal a game this season? Four. Dusty, Trac, Bolton, Rozee. You are completely clueless. He is going fine.

Heh, yeah putting him in that group is where he’s at. North fans sure over rate their own.

Pick 5, lol.

Oh ffs! I didn't put him in that group. You mocked him for averaging 18 and 1, when it is clearly decent output and there aren't many goal kicking mids doing better.

You seem to be popping up in a lot of threads about North posting this type of nonsense. RUOK?

Was averaging 21 and 1.3 a game prior to the West Coast game.

Played shit all year apparently…

 

[Iva Bigun]

What does playing well have to do with anything? Thomas has been playing well.

Andrew has major off field issues also.

Chalk and cheese there mate

 

[PenAndPaper]

Was averaging 19 and 1.3 a game prior to the West Coast game.

Played s**t all year apparently…

FTFY

 

[FlyHigh18]

23 years old... most lads settle down offield around 24-26 and (not coincidentally) hit their prime on field.

hate to see us miss that. or another club benefit.

at the same time, it's not guaranteed. i'm so torn.

 

[Obeanie1]

Sounds like a good deal for North. Not so much the Suns. Perhaps TT and 20, even still.

Flanders likely wouldn't cost pick 20 on its own never mind adding an ex top 10 pick.

Straight swap sounds about right.

Salary is the issue. Suns won't be offering big dollars. No club would TBH.

There’s a pretty big difference to excessive partying and drinking when compared against the behaviour of Thomas.

 

[Obeanie1]

Assuming he does want out… if I were north, I’d pay half his contract elsewhere if we got a pick or player we wanted out of it.
After all, it’s quite unclear how we’re even going to reach the salary floor this year.

Happy to swap for Gaff if they have the cap space to burn.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Happy to swap for Gaff if you have the cap space.

North be like

 

[Obeanie1]

North be like

Gaff looking back on his decision.

Funny thing is don't be surprised if he finishes at North.

They need players who actually try and run all day.

Very funny to make these cheap shots at North like North supporters don't know how bad we are.

Enlighten us what you are insinuating here?

 

[Foxman98]

It's not a cheap shot though?

He is simply pointing out that he has only played 3/4 good games this year and has been very quiet disposal wise in the last 3 weeks so suggestions that he is top 5 in your BnF aren't realistic or if he is that your list is in dire straights

He was in the coaches votes against St Kilda 1 round ago.

This is the "no shit" bit.

 

[Foxman98]

This is the "no s**t" bit.

But thats the thing he isn't he won't come top 10 let alone top 5 your list isn't that bad
