Speculation Tarryn Thomas

[CatToTheFuture]

The reality is that an exceptionally talented player will be forgiven much more for much worse, than a "40th on the list" battler.

If TT was in that class, then I'd at least understand clubs desperately downplaying/whitewashing/ignoring his terrible off field behaviour to grab the next superstar. I wouldn't LIKE it...but I'd get it.

But he's clearly not in the class.....so why on earth would a club make this much trouble for itself?

Desperation.

If you gaze long into the saints list, it begins to gaze into you

How many “battlers” get rated as the 6th best player in the comp over a stretch of a season.

He’s an absolute gun

 

[Rich01]

WHY?

The bloke's not even that good a player.

If it was a once-in-a-generation talent, I get that clubs would be prepared to sweep a bunch of terrible stuff under the carpet, but TT is nowhere near that.

RTB needs the sugar hit of a finals appearance next year rather than building a healthy team culture.

 

[Shinboner roo]

If the Saints rumor is true the club would want ironclad agreements with there sponsors/coterie groups and what about the women's AFLW programs, if or when he 'relapses' as he has cleanly learned nothing after multiple chances.

Gross and stupid. Ross brought in a bunch of trouble makers towards the end of his time at Freo, which pretty much destroyed our culture and arguably cost us Lachie Neale

Saints fans should be burning their memberships if this goes though.

All 6 of them.

 

[Dazb86]

Tom Morris reporting Saints have met with him and interested on signing him on for 2025

Surely this is fake news

 

[Dogflogger]

we are due for a cheap good footballer lets just hope he can keeps his hands to himself off the field

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Surely no club touches this bloke, had enough chances.

 

[ChairmanZia]

TT to saint makes quite some sense as they are desperate.

Ess geelong won't touch him after THAT email from Hood, plus of course the latest police investigation.

Saints or bust. He will be another harley bennell

. If his career resumes at saints, he would be very grateful to them totally forgetting 6 years of support at north but if things goes wrong, he might sue them for racism.

TT is a rapid cur that bites at whoever is close enough to him. I have unfortunately seen a few too many of those types thus far in my life.

 

[Jazny]

There will be a small media outrage for a couple of days, then it will go away, and you get a very good footballer for free. I dont see why a club wouldn't do it, as long as they think he has been willing to put in the work to be a better person. If he has made no effort, then pass.

Ridiculous comment. Why would you say that? Just because he is indigenous?

What do you reckon?

I mean he is a piece of shiite of a person, that was clear too when he was meeting up with christ scott during his time away from the club only for him to reach for his phone again and went finger twichy.

Daniel Kerr, Michael Braun & Adam Hunter all agree

 

[sydney_gws]

When is his next court appearance?

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Are St Kilda trolling the AFL after all the “talent being taken out of the draft” hoo-ha

 

[rei154]

I reckon I could get on board with 50+ years of no premiership.
I could get on board with decade's of empty promises and falling short.

But if my club went after someone like this, I'd jump ship and not feel an ounce of sadness for it.

Saints fans deserve better, even if better means the cup is a few years further down the way.

 

[Cyber_punk]

As was revealed on the North board he has become a born again Christian recently. Guess that was enough to convince the Saints.

Don't prisoners do that kind of thing all the time to get their sentences reduced?

 

[Warhorse]

From a player point of view he is exactly what St Kilda needs. A fit and firing Thomas has the potential to be a top 5 player in the league.

But systemic racism is alright @ Hawthorn FC

 

[Lia]

Shouldn't be in the AFL system for another 12 months at a minimum I would have thought. Zero evidence of behavioral change as of yet.

It would cost more in reputation to bring him in than it would be worth.

Ahh yes that religious route.

Lot's of people who committed serious crime go down that route.

What a disgraceul individual.

What's next if he screws up, oh lemme see, checking himself into the mental health clinic like jon patton.

 

[ChairmanZia]

For the saints, reputation is hardly their most pressing concern.

When was the last incident?

Is there an approved designated length of time?
