Past #26: Tarryn Thomas - Roo until end '24

[czero]

1) To some extent it is virtue signalling. Without the signalling the benefits don't come.
2) This is a contemporary political stunt facilitated on the back of Peter Scanlon's chip stack. If we didn't need his money to survive, I very much doubt this stuff would exist. He had some leverage and he used it. North were never engaged in any of this stuff prior to 2007.

I don't think it is correct to call it a stunt when its been going and growing for 11 years. You might as well call the scanlin foundation a politically motivated stunt... which I'm sure you would not.

We didn't have two bits to spend on anything prior to 2007.

AFL should just take over all academies and all players go into the draft, the amount of bullshittery going on just dilutes the effectiveness of the draft as being a mechanism for balancing the distribution of talent to where it is most needed.

It helps develop grass roots football though.

That is the AFL's job.

Yeh I also have huge issues with eating all the time and not putting on weight.

Not.

yeah, me too

 

[naturally north]

His body type, takes some time.

Look at this pic of Adam Goodes at same age and same height (apart from his man beard).

What is TT 37?

 

[Kanga Glory]

Looking forward to watching Tarryn’s game on friday

I very much doubt they will change anything this year.

I don't trust the AFL corporate team to empty my garbage let alone trust them enough not to introduce an immediate trial in 2018 of a new one-off rule that would see TT unable to be drafted by us as an Academy pick. Of course this trial would exempt the NSW and QLD clubs in the name of equalisation!

Needs to work on his left peg. Very reluctant to use it in that package.

This is bad news for Tarryn.

I expect delisting by the end of 2019.

 

[King Corey]

This is bad news for Tarryn.

I expect delisting by the end of 2019.

A bit dramatic.

I'll settle for his cost drifting out to the 4th round.

with such a deficiency he will be lucky to get picked up in the second round....spread the word.

 

[Pykie]

The play at 1:30 is pretty good considering this was played in the wet.

That banana clearance was good though

If you want an undergrad Bolshie SJW catch-phrase to describe it, then "philanthrocapitalism" is the term you are searching for.

Rhyan Mansell named in the forward pocket for the Allies this week. McGuiness out of the side.

 

[Junk yard]

Made it 4 plays in and the young fella had his head over everything. EXCITED. Can't teach that shit.

After living in the gym, building core strength and power

He could be a-ny-thing

 

[Jazny]

He is the perfect size and shape for a midfielder, when he puts on some more muscle
