Past #26: Tarryn Thomas [Part II] - will honor his contract and play on at NMFC in 2024, so says the reality TV manager

[kirbonavich]

What is this sorry?

Because someone has a persona in public doesn't mean they can't be a crummy individual behind closed doors?

Stop the presses, Tarryn was friendly to a supporter once in public, so none of this can possibly be true.

He should be renamed Teflon Tarryn on this board.

He's barely put a foot right at the club in 6 years, between poor training standards, the club having to baby sit him in offseasons, going completely tools down 2 seasons ago for half a season under Noble, presenting in ridiculous shape in day 1 of preseason last year, a year long court case and multiple behavioral courses/suspensions/relapses/suspensions/courses. In between all of it has been multiple injuries with all the while further contributing to his woeful fitness levels.

Now another offseason sandal twelve months later....

I don't really give a rats toss bag about this particular scandal, he is on the thinnest of thin ice. He OWES this club, the supporters, the coaches and his team mates an absolute shitload of sustained performance (years, not a 12 week block where he's interested or it's a contract year). Any more of this crap with him, no matter how minor, is just unacceptable given where he is 6 years into the amount we invested in him and given how much ground he needs to make up.


The 20 odd games in 6 seasons he's actually played at an elite level certainly seems worth it at this point......AND he might still hang the club out to dry contractually at the end of the year, as despite all this support, all the time, all the crap we have waited for with him to deliver.... he has tested the waters via his manager multiple times in the last 18 months.

I like this side of you.

Am hearing it’s nothing to be concerned about.

Heard the same this morning and now I get a message from someone else telling me his career is finished. My previous excellent source on matters TT is not connected to this matter so we will wait and see. NM's patience must be running out.

"Even if it's been exaggerated, he obviously hasn't just been sending gifs of puppies and rainbows."

I have seen some of the messages related to last year's turmoil. No puppies but plenty of female dogs referred to.

Andrew Tate has a lot to answer for.

The headline makes it sound like he just didn't turn up, instead of it being deferred because his lawyer wasn't available today.

Integrity and honesty be damned. God I hate modern journalism.

The % of AFL players that follow or look up to that guy is something I don't think I want to know

But the word “bitch” isn’t even an insult in modern society.

It’s celebrated by men and women in r&b culture from Beyoncé to lizzo, Ariana grande etc.

It’s now a part of main stream culture where “resting bitch face” is something people are proud to be called.

It’s now used to describe men as well as women.

I would have thought not that many. He appeals more to incel guys who want to be just like his fake persona.

I'm specifically talking about people who have jumped at the chance to find him guilty on this occassion, which for the club's sake everyone should hope he isn't.

Make up your mind

 

[gokangas]

Make up your mind

As I said - I don't know. No insiders this time. I suppose it won't have to be too big a story to see TT finished - that's the risk. He is living on a knifes edge anyway so a little fugg up might be enough to say seeya. Hope it is nothing. Time will tell.

Tend to agree. If he’s threatened a woman he’s done. If he’s used foul language he probably survives.

 

[Bobby B]

The issue with this latest episode is what are the effects on the:

1. Sponsors
2. The identity of the club
3. Recruitment/retention of membership
4. The players

IMO - TT actions over the last five years have caused a lot of damage to the above

Time must be up

My daughters - Who support North are disgusted by his behaviour - it puts them off the club

As gk said earlier, the media will keep sniffing and take any angle... They just posted the below - which I believe is comments by a previous/different ex-gf.

’ ex says Roos need to stop making excuses​

The North Melbourne midfielder’s ex-partner says the club and the AFL are “letting women down” as the footballer faces fresh domestic violence allegations.

Yeah not sure about that. He seems to appeal to a lot of heavy masculine types too. I think even the rock quoted him at some point.

Haha I'm shocked to be sitting here while you have an each way bet.

Not sure it was meant this way in this case.

Tarryn has become an easy target by his own fault mind you. However he's not going ti be given any benefit of the doubt by the public regardless if he's innocent.

Long road to redemption for him but I hope this latest accusation is minor or nothing at all and he continues on the straight and narrow.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

So the club has a duty of care ( morally ) should TT be given the arse, so will be interesting watching how this is handled.
he didn't have a great upbringing, and I'm not trying to make excuses, but sometimes these things aren't as black n white as some think it should be.

I recall a young fella the Blues drafted against his families wishes. That ended the worst possible way.

Are you perhaps mixing up Chris and Shane Yarran?

As always.... context. You can absolutely still call a woman a bitch in a demeaning way that is taken as such

 

[Disco Dew]

All this bitch talk reminded me of this classic vine

 

[the big lebowski]

Of course you can.

My point is that the word has been normalised, de-gendered and indeed celebrated, to the point it’s not a big deal.

NMFC is letting women down.

Give me a spell.

 

[shintemaster]

Outrageous slur to call him a nepo baby.

Just because he was only 19 years old when he got a job at the place his father was one of the stars of the network for 30 years and without ever having studied journalism, it doesn't mean he didn't totes get the job on merit....

Finally.

Thankfully you were here big_e to hold these outrageous fiends to account. They will besmirch anyone who has been grinding for years for their first break out of classic tall poppy syndrome.
