Toast Tom Sheridan

[electricfeel]

Hahahahah... Train... has anyone else heard the stories about that nickname?

What are the stories?

 

[PapaJ]

That's interesting.
Might have saved our bacon all the rubbish going on at Essendon.
Have been watching him a little more closely after the games etc the last few weeks and he seems to be enjoying himself and appears to get on really well with the other young guys. Seems to be settled, for now at least.

Who knows, but certainly if he had one eye on Essendon, it would have become a whole lot more unattractive in recent months.

 

[PapaJ]

Also from the same article, but how the hell does someone two years older and who grew up on the other side of the country become your childhood idol???

Thought the same thing, which is why I place little credence on it. I could believe as a 15-16 y/o, watching Fyfe debut and be likened to Hird would catch an impressionable Tom Sheridan's attention - but childhood idol is going a bit far.

Kind of wondering what poor tommy has to do to get a rising star nod... A number of good games in a row and still nothing... Although I think pies fans would have rioted if their love child Grundy didnt get it this week.

Maybe he wants to be a helicopter pilot. Some sort of Clearwater Revival .

To be fair when he has played well there has been some pretty exceptional performances by others especially the last two weeks by Grundy and Viney.

The name TTrain to me reminds me too much of GTrain - The Toast infected export that went to Saints.

 

[Ktrain]

Hmm ... I probably shouldn't be posting then.

Self appointed KTrain? or did someone give you that name... It's a fine line

 

[yakka man]

I love when young players say things like this vvvvvvvv. Tommy said that.

“I’m just thankful for the opportunity to keep playing with the boys, it’s a great culture down here.”

 

[clogged]

Though I'll go anti-Sheridan again here and say I thought he should've gone straight to Mayne for the old high five. That was as equal Mayney's as it was Tom's, both used the both exceptionally well and ran hard to get it.

Fair point on the high fives, I also note his neck is quite pencil like.

 

[Silent Alarm]

I heard it was self appointed.
I'm not sure in football circles you are allowed to give yourself a nickname, doesn't someone else have to make one up?

Yeah, a self-anointed nickname and the guys at Freo paid him out for it. All in good humour though. You definitely don't rock up to footy training and say "call me T-Train, boys." But like George Costanza trying to be called T-Bone...

Far more simple at West Coast . If he'd gone there he would be Sherry.

My favourite nickname at the club is still "Humphrey" for Stephen Hill after Humphrey B Bear Not sure if they're still calling him that though.

I hadn't heard that one
Is it because he is quiet or because he gets around in a waistcoat and scarf with no pants on?

Haha because he's quiet

 

[ritz]

Also Kreuzers nickname - needs to fire up a bit more me thinks!!!

 

[Kram]

Never rated him much as a player before but was very solid last night, think he's actually gonna repay Ross' faith and make it as a decent footballer.

 

[Unique Name]

He finally has a bit of size to him. He actually used his body quite well a few times last night to out-position his opponent. A few nice runs and kicked well moving it forward.

 

[Taylor]

Opposition players bounced off him last night.

 

[Nolo180]

I always thought he lacked toughness and wouldnt cut it as a running defender. Happy to be proved wrong if he keeps playing like that though. The stats say he only laid one tackle but at crucial times he put his body on the line.

 

[theGav56]

Nothing wrong with a stint in the wafl.

When he bowled over Picken I was sitting in the stands nearby and thought...Nice one Fyfie...then I did a double take when I saw an 11 on his back.

He's got the bulk and a bloody man bun. we're getting a team of fyfe clones...nttawwt.

 

[Nodgey]

yeah I dunno if it was the man bun or whatever, but he looked not only bigger, but taller than I recall. And seemed to want to use his bulk too. Encouraging signs.
