Toast Tommy Barrass

[Matele]

Couldn’t see a thread anywhere.

Dude was absolutely clutch in the first half. Keeping us in it when the boys looked nervous.

Also this.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Doesn’t get enough credit due to being in the same side as McGovern.

Reads the ball beautifully. Will retire with multiple AAs under his belt.

 

[PintSzedSlasher]

Absolute gun.

 

[Quinz]

Immense performance. Cox took a few in the second half, which was the only thing keeping Barrass out of Norm Smith votes IMO.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

The Mad Dog from Scarborough was the longest odds for Norm Smith coming in, But was every chance for some votes the entire time. What a great man.

I've upped him on this site many times. Big fan. Unheralded. e.g. Most of the media after the first final failed to credit him for his work on Cox.
From memory there was a game earlier in the year where we didn't have McGovern and he held it down without an issue. Might have been round 8 against GWS. Made me think at the time that if McGovern does go, we would be okay.

Mad Dog was immense yesterday.

We are blessed to have two extremely good readers on the play as our key defenders. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you just want TB to defend solely but then you get games like yesterday and you say just play your natural game son

 

[FKASC]

Yep, been clear since before he debuted that he was basically another McGovern.

Pretty lucky to have two blokes who read the play like this in d50

Will continue to get better

 

[DanWCE]

One of our best on Saturday.

 

[avishka5]

Tom’s sister Em seemed to be very happy during his interview.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

He was obviously very impressive on Saturday. Kinda wish that Cox didn't beat him those few times in the 2nd half though.
Would've been a very tough job given that he gives up about 18cm to Cox.

 

[SloppyJoe]

He's a weird unit.

But he's our weird unit.

 

[flylikeaneagle]

he was absolutely outstanding. spoil after spoil against against a bigger guy, huge marks, good decision making under pressure.

 

[dewcefault]

Doesn't get the accolades he deserves... was immense all game

 

[SloppyJoe]

He's forever sexually barrassing the other players in photos...he's Hutchy getting the treatment

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Jimmy Bartell covered the 2013 draft and had him at 8.

 

[Quinz]

Easy to for get he missed a chunk of games with that back injury during the year, we had a lot of problems to overcome to get the flag this year and he was another one.

 

[DirtySandman]

He's a weird unit.

Certainly something different about him.

Always composed, in the right spot, and does the right thing.

Could well, one day be one of our best, like ever.

 

[woosha24]

Pew Pew!

Gun.

 

[avishka5]

Honestly think he would be one of the hottest young talents if he was playing in Melbourne or played in a side that didn't have McGovern. 5 months older than Lever but more of an all round KPD and more athletic and better hands.

 

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

Everyone was after Tommy Lycett and Sheed all year. These three were immense in finals. All three games. I wasn't a massive fan of sheed but his last 6-7 games has been huge.

 

[Cainozz]

 

[ioppolo]

That is the awkwardest photo ever

 

[Monocle]

He's a weird unit.

Thats a given he is a Hale School Boy.

 

[avishka5]

Thats a given he is a Hale School Boy.

Good week for them with TB and Titch.
