Recommitted Tarryn Thomas [OOC 2024] - Staying at North

[Makeshift Park]

A sublime talent with serious baggage.

Contracted for another year, but rumoured to be exploring trades.

Last week, David King suggested he could be traded out for GC’s first.

Could Roos offer troubled star for the “biggest asset up for grabs” this trade period?

“I'm wondering whether the Kangaroos can do a deal with the Gold Coast Suns.”

www.sen.com.au

Is that trade deal a serious chance? Failing that, what would clubs be prepared to give up for him?

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I sense fans of clubs will be less into him than clubs will be.

 

[perplexed]

Can't see how it would be in his interests to get traded now that it seems he is finally on the right track. I also find it irresponsible that other clubs would be whispering in his ear at the moment.

I dont think David King understands how the bidding system works.

Crazy given he is paid to know this

Agree.

I also can’t see Hardwick wanting this bloke anywhere near his players as he tries to build a strong team and club culture.

And if he were to move, it’s hard to think of a worse fit than Gold Coast.

Yeah, we thought the same with Willie Rioli last year but clubs will do what they want.

He isn't a top 5 pick talent.

And he has baggage

Mid 2nd rounder.

Depends who is the coach.

If Hardwick was there it could work. He has experience getting flags out of players with other issues. Pickett, Stack......etc

And doesn't seem to realise the Suns would have a top ten pick if they didn't need it for Walter, which they aren't giving up for a bloke who isn't worth a top ten pick and looks as likely to be in prison as the footy field in a couple of years time.

Got some talent but not a chance in hell GC would give up their first for him

 

[Makeshift Park]

Hypothetically, what if North don't bid on Walter.

Walter goes at 4, Read at 8, Rogers at 11.
(going by Twomey's phantom draft)

That's 4914 points. 20% discount gets you down to 3931 points.

GC currently have 4396 points, minus pick 5 is 2518.

If North offered pick 17 going back, that would get GC to 3537 pts, from which point they could go into a minor deficit next year.

That deal is too much in GC's favour, IMO, but if they added Mabior Chol

, or even a third rounder it gets pretty close.

In sum:

North out: TT, pick 17
GC out: pick 5, and either Chol, Graham or a third rounder

 

[Foxman98]

Bloke has little to no trade value huge off field issues and has produced very little since coming back this year outside of the saints game

He has actually been pretty damn good since he came back.
eg. 23 disposals and two goals against the Crows was another highlight.
19 and three against the giants.
etc
There have been a couple meh games too, but overall he's performed surprisingly well, especially when you take into account his lack of preseason and all the legal stuff.

We don’t really know what the Suns’s draft hand will be. If say Flanders still leaves they’d probably get a teens pick, and have no need of other 2023 picks.

 

[Makeshift Park]

We don’t really know what the Suns’s draft hand will be. If say Flanders still leaves they’d probably get a teens pick, and have no need of other 2023 picks.

And if Flanders leaves, if makes more sense for them to go after TT for their positional needs too.

 

[Dangerousfield]

Buyer beware here. Potential buyers could end up with an expensive and corrosive pig in a poke. Sometimes even talented players aren't worth the effort needed to try and keep them on track.

Gold Coast, regardless of coach, is one of the last clubs that needs TT types, they need strong minded focused types to drive them forwards.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

I sense fans of clubs will be less into him than clubs will be.

Gold Coast probably the best club for him if he leaves tbh.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Gold Coast probably the best club for him if he leaves tbh.

He's got a family base in western Sydney, I think either of the NSW sides have a good solid structure for him as well.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Sydney won't have the capital after Barrass though.

If GWS don't / can't go for Reid, then their second first rounder, maybe? (~13)

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

He's got a family base in western Sydney, I think either of the NSW sides have a good solid structure for him as well.

I think the Swans will stay away (mainly because of what happened with Elijah Taylor a few years ago) but GWS is a possibility.

From a different perspective, I think he could be a good fit for Fremantle as well (if he wants to move to WA)

 

[Wild Bill]

Agree.

I also can’t see Hardwick wanting this bloke anywhere near his players as he tries to build a strong team and club culture.

He brought Pickett into the Tigers. He will bring TT in if it helps him win a flag.

Hopefully if North are looking to trade Tarryn they handle the situation better than we did with Jake Stringer

was more talented, was part of a premiership winning side 12 months earlier, had already made an All Australian, was contracted, had less baggage and was the same age as Tarryn is now. We made it very clear he wasn’t welcome back, and having only two clubs be interested in him (I think Geelong considered it, otherwise it’s just one club) we only got two second round picks for him.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I cant decide if Gold Coast are dumb for going for him or genius

• Feels like a place he can get away with his off field shit and not have it hit the media like elsewhere
• Also feels like a place he can get away with his off field shit and give minimal effort

Valuing him is extremely difficult if it went ahead and I have no idea what he would go for. Top 10 pick on talent, pick 50 on douchebagery

 

[Wild Bill]

Bloke has little to no trade value huge off field issues and has produced very little since coming back this year outside of the saints game

He was in the best V GWS & Dogs. Maybe a straight swap for Smith who has dropped away and has his off field issues.
