Taryn Thomas worth a rookie spot if he is cleared to play AFL?

Done some dick things. People can change.


Shit no.

"Done some dick things" applies to a bloke like Gary Rohan. Taryn Thomas plunges to a completely different level of irretrievable degeneracy. He's had multiple chances and interventions and still is a massive arseh*le towards women...

Absolutely, if he’s cleared to play then people with more information than me believe he’s cleaned up his act, and he can seriously play. Tall powerful outside mid in the Isaac Smith mould is definitely a list need.

I always chuckle to myself that people defend Hamish for taking Chayce Jones because he was going for high character kids, and conveniently forget that we bid on Taryn before drafting Chayce. Maybe his ability to identify character is no better than his ability to identify elite talent.
 
Even with the green light you would always be worried other incidents or future incidents may jeopardise Thomas season and you are down a player and also down whatever the cost is

It may well happen to a draftee but here you have clear evidence of an issue that is ongoing
 
Hemisphere Management's Dave Trotter seems to think Elliot Himmelberg to the Suns is looking likely.
I think most here would agree that this is a positive. The next question would be, what band of compensation is this likely to generate for the Crows? Will the Crows try and force a trade so the compensation they receive isn't watered down by Isaac Cumming being potentially recruited by the Crows through free agency?

Past Peformance IS an indicator of future events
Particularly if reliant on the sane decision makers who have proven to be out of their depth & lacking IQ...
 
Not this guy... He's had plenty of chances already

Maybe we do a token trade for Cumming??

But only if the Berg compo is worthwhile worrying about.
My gut feel was we wouldn't get anything for him... however generally the players that have got nothing are 30+ or have played not many games. Worth noting we got a 3rd round for CEY (26), Jake Kelly & a 2nd rounder for Atkins, Seems we have done pretty well out of the system over the years.

I think we went okay with Doods too.

A token trade for Cumming would destroy any compensation GWS receive

Somehow including him in a trade for Luko (if that is going to happen) would probably be the easiest way around it

We'd get no FA compensation though


Edit: I don't think we'd get any compo for him if Cumming comes in as FA anyway
 

Houston remains on Victorian radars; Owies waits on Blues​

By Peter Ryan and Marc McGowan

September 17, 2024 — 12.56pm


Back-to-back All-Australian defender Dan Houston remains a live trade target for Victorian clubs as Carlton forward Matt Owies prepares for an extended wait to discover his fate.
Houston is contracted for four more years at Port Adelaide, but is keen to return to Melbourne if the Power can broker a deal that suits all parties.
The Blues, Western Bulldogs and Collingwood are working away in the background, with the decisions of players including Isaac Cumming, Harry Perryman and Jack Lukosius a key factor in whether Port agree to part with Houston.
Port would prefer to retain Houston, but two industry sources told this masthead that contracted Gold Coast swingman Lukosius was leaning toward the Power as his preferred destination over the Crows.


Lukosius has not decided, according to a separate source familiar with the situation, but he has a close relationship with Port’s Connor Rozee.
Cumming has informed GWS that he will exercise his unrestricted free agency rights to sign with a South Australian club, but has not indicated which one and is viewed as a 50-50 proposition despite the prevailing industry view that the Crows were favourites.
However, unrestricted free agent Perryman’s decision could impact Cumming’s call, according to two sources familiar with negotiations.
Cumming, who is friends with fellow Broken Hill product and Adelaide great Taylor Walker, has family connections in Adelaide and is highly rated at the Giants, but has had soft-tissue problems this season.


He could follow Perryman to Port Adelaide if the latter chooses to pledge his future to Alberton.
The Power remain favourites for Perryman’s signature despite both Collingwood and Hawthorn also holding interest. The Magpies recently upped their offer for Perryman after failing to convince Adelaide’s Irish defender Mark Keane to join the club.
Out-of-contract Collingwood forward Joe Richards is also weighing up a three-year offer from Port – which could extend to four, according to one industry source – versus a two-year deal to stay at the Pies.
Demon Alex Neal-Bullen has already nominated the Crows after requesting a trade home to SA for family

Adelaide may lose forward-ruck Elliott Himmelberg, another unrestricted free agent, with Gold Coast keen to add him to their big-man stocks after his brother Harry’s club, GWS, made inquiries on him 12 months ago.
