, the 38-year-old will play a pivotal role in driving the Blues’ skill-development program.

 

[Coops93]

Getting some decent premiership pedigree in the coaching ranks these days, I like it.

 

[RPCB]

Too far if I post another “You spelt Joel Selwood wrong.”?

Welcome aboard Tom.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Seems like a good pick up. Some solid AFL experience coming through in the coaching ranks.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Good.

 

[bradfisher14]

I'm so happy with this appointment.

Always had big respect for him as a player. A second round pick who fought through massive adversity to carve out a hugely successful 200+ game career at a benchmark club (hopefully a few of our injury prone guys will follow this example). He's been working at NAB league level most recently with the Falcons which should give our recruiters great insight into the talent coming through the next few drafts.

Go well, Tom.

Ah yes, the non hated Lonergan

Ffs, thanks for the image reminder.

 

[BlueGum]

Welcome Tom.

[Jeremias]

I like it a lot. Great story of pushing through adversity to forge a successful career.

If he can impart some of that desire and overall mindset to not just our younger players but the squad overall, we'll go places.

 

[El Topo]

Great stuff, our trajectory from here is all about development and growth from within

that he should have continued on playing all those years ago.

 

[thylacine60]

Charlie Curnow in the first training session back is going to run head first into the front entrance to Princes Park and then run with his chest puffed out into a brick wall and then start the training session. Swats away butterfly, pokes eye out and breaks bone in wrist.

 

[ferrisb]

Football is about passion.

I mean check out how happy Tom looks to be wearing Navy Blue...

 

[Red Bull]

Another with the “team first” mindset.
Appears a definite prerequisite to join the Carlton/Voss stable these days.
Voss/Cook know what it takes and know what they want … love the way it’s coming together now

 

[Jatz]

Like this pick up. Been around a successful operation for a long time.

I assume this is a Brian Cook appointment?

there's a bit of Sydney Swans about the characters we're accumulating under Sayers/Cook/Voss

 

[Yubby]

I know Tom and can tell you he's an absolute stand-up guy with great character and will be great for our culture. This is a really fantastic appointment by the club in my opinion.

 

[iAsbestos]

Welcome mate

 

[Revenant1965]

I reckon a great appointment. And some great insights above (including observation about development within). Blue skies ahead...

 

[cookie monster]

So it's a second appointment in player development that didn't exist at the club 2 months ago.

Seems a real intent to improve this part of the club. I like that

 

[tarczonandjane]

I’d have to be able to link and archive HUN articles. But you all might be interested to know that they are reporting we initially approached Ratts for this role.

 

[The Bighouse]

I know Tom and can tell you he's an absolute stand-up guy with great character and will be great for our culture. This is a really fantastic appointment by the club in my opinion.

Isn’t that code that he’s in the mob…?
And you’re vouching for him (mobster too).
