Is he even that talented? I get the million chances the De Goey’s of the world get, the teams want to win games and he’s a legit elite player but has Tarryn Thomas shown really anything?

Kind of a Jagger-Tarzan
If you had a name that would be better suited to a low level pr0n starlet, you’d have your issues too.

Well he has threatened to show something.
So you're saying it doesn't make sense to have a team for all queenslanders while there is another team that also exists in queensland?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
He does love the threaten
The suggestion of North Queensland kangaroos is the questionable one for me. QLD is a huge state, and North Queensland is so far away from the Gold Coast, it is almost a different state, and when it comes to sport, is viewed as such. It might encompass the three supporters they have up there, but would disenfranchise the Gold Coast & Brisbane supporters.
Something like the East Coast Suns, would encompass everyone.

Shhhhhhhh, don’t spoil it!
Well done by the looks of it
To me this is a great example of there just being too much media around the AFL. There is so much media associated with the AFL that it just pumps out absolute garbage.

Had to get out of there. Voss clearly doesn’t rate him or his fit, for whatever reason.
I thought he was delisted and just on carltons list as a top up
Crazy he cant get a game

Have you seen him play?
Voss is doing a lot of things wrong at Carlton but not playing Paddy Dow isn't one of them. Awful footballer.

Sure he has his flaws (disposal, primarily), and he’s always seemed to lack confidence at the highest level.
But if he still couldn’t crack the team this week with all their injuries, the losses piling up and his VFL form, it makes no sense that he’s still there.
Hayes’ish.

Blues midfielder quietly signed contract extension, “on the radar” of rival clubs
Carlton never reported this one.
www.sen.com.au
It seems he was contracted to 2023 before Voss came on board. He hasn't been delisted because Voss hasn't had a chance to delist him yet.
That said, if Carlton are at the point of giving ****ing Lachie O'Brien another game, may as well play him for the sake of pumping up some trade value if nothing else. Although they may be working under the (not unreasonable) theory that it's better for his trade value to be racking up 35 touches a week in the VFL than 12 touches a week in the AFL.
Yeah this is true. Might need Queensland in there too somehow.
I think everyone missed my little dig at the Camries lol

AFL great Dermott Brereton has taken aim at players who stage for free kicks and called on the league to come down harder on those caught.
The former Hawthorn hardman fired up following a host of contentious decisions in recent weeks that resulted in players milking free kicks.
Brereton said the only way to start stamping out players who flop for free kicks is to start handing out financial punishments. “We can be called dinosaurs, but it does take courage to play Australian rules football in any era. “The one thing that our era was irked by was people flopping, people staging for the benefit of either a free kick or 50-metre penalty. “I can remember doing it myself as a young man thinking, ‘I’d get a free kick out of this’, and respected opponents standing over me while I was pretending to be hurt yelling and screaming at me, ‘Get up you weak cheating dog’ … with a few adjectives thrown in. “The insult hurt so much that I just said ‘I can’t be doing that ever again’.”
The forward great said the league must step in to eradicate the acts and called out players who use flopping in their games. “But it’s almost like some people in the media now say, ‘Oh, he’s challenged the tackler to do better, he has challenged the umpire to make a decision here’,” Brereton explained.
“No, you know what? We’ve got a 360-degree game that’s very difficult as it is and if we have players flopping and staging it is a blight on the game.
“We need to stamp it out … if we allow it to flourish in our game in the heartland of football, that just shouldn’t be (allowed), we shouldn’t allow that.
“We should be just stamping it out … I just think it’s nonsense and an awful way to go about your craft as a footballer, a professional footballer.”

What falls under 'staging'? Where do you draw the line?
Where does a forward 'putting some mayo on it' when feeling a defenders hand on his back sit?
How about the technique of lifting the arm to draw high contact? Dropping the knees?
Two of the biggest proponents of the above, Hawkins & Selwood, have been celebrated by the industry for a decade and both have multiple premierships and AA spots to their name.
Sorry Dermott, too little, too late.
The genie is out of the bottle and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

What did they think would happen when they let Duckwood get away with it his entire career?
The reality is they've celebrated big name cheats for years, and now you have young blokes without the same name recognition like Weightman or Ginnivan taking it to the next level and suddenly its a problem.

Joel Selwood has done irreparable harm to the game of football. What we're seeing now is the inevitable result of a generation of footballers who grew up hearing Selwood venerated by the media now making their own way into the game.
