Toast Tom Barrass Appreciation Thread

[2006_Eagles]

I'm not sure how to structure this post other than to say pick 44 for Tom was an absolute steal. He just looks like he knows how to defend. 200 game player easily.

We can build the backline around Barrass and McGovern.

I can't be happier about our backline development, hoping these boys taste some premiership success before they retire.

He's a serial offender in the stupid comment stakes though isn't he

My Wife recons I won't shut up about him.
Bloody good reason though, by the time his career is over he'll be mentioned in the same breath as Glass and McIntosh.

Love watching him work.

Everything he says is either very reasonable or incredibly dumb, it's weird.

I think his debut game last year was in Adelaide where he showed amazing glimpses of the player he could be

 

[EagleShore]

Some very good marks today, judging it like a pro. Will back his kicking in time and become quite a deadly talent.

One of the few positives to take out of this season really.

Goes for Fremantle so not surprised he knows sweet FA.

Barrass is an absolute win for us this season. Had he played last week we probably wouldn't have lost.

I hope you responded like this

 

[Bender_]

There was a contest on the wing where both Barrass and McGovern flew together for an intercept mark and my penis moved.

 

[Keys]

I hope you responded like this

This is ochre you're talking about

He would have responded with overwhelming indifference

Was at the game and this kid is special, really special.

 

[Beutbrute]

Barrass looked pretty good for the rest last week

 

[dave123]

I got shot down in flames when I said we would have beaten magpies had Barrass played last week

I stand by my statement ....we would have beaten them last week if he had played

 

[Godfather32]

Barrass looked pretty good for the rest last week

Didn't look any different to his last 3 or 4 games

He doesn't panic

He doesn't fall over much

Knows when to mark - when to spoil

Barrass hasn't done a thing wrong since he debuted.

Couple of skill errors here and there but every defender does them for the first few years.

Only got dominated against Adelaide last year because they were dominating us all around the ground. Would have happened to any defender.

This guy is why I was arguing for McGovern to be moved forward during the off season. There's no reason why it shouldn't happen (unless of course Mackenzie and Schofield never return to form)

Would love his lockdown game to come in leaps and bound.

Schofield was ok today
