wafl gf - more toms

Post: # 1149421Post Con Gorozidis »

Wow tom must have been a popular name in the early 90s.

Tom lee and tom swift from claremont both look likely types.

Anyone got the word on these two? Draft prospects ?

Swift was a top 20 pick for WCE.

Sorry Con, but your use of the apostrophe needs improving.

You can't use an apostrophe to make a plural:
"tom's" -- unless you mean Tom's possession of something -- is just Toms. plural.
And "90's" -- ie the 1990s -- is '90s. plural, (of an abbreviation).

Here endeth the Sunday sermon.

He's had two now hasnt he?

Good player.

If that was Tom Lynch's year, I wanted Jackson Trengove badly. When he went past Adelaide at 10 I was excited!

Then pissed off.

Even more pissed off now.

Had a major injury cloud over him though.

That's a bit too tricky. More Siposses I guess.

By the way JB, aren't you missing your own apostrophe somewhere?

One knee reco for Tom Swift....12 months at 17yo

And one lateral ligament tear.......8 week injury at 18yo

Tom averaged 37 disposals a game in the under 16 carnival and was in the top 3 in that age bracket in the country...45 disposals in one game

At 190cm.....he moved and accumulated a bit like pendlbury....not as good with his disposal..

Sorry, but him/her is a grammatical error, not a spelling error.

I'm interested to know that about Spelly though!

Sorry to have highjacked this thread too. I'm much more interested in how many Toms we can pack into our team.
Love some of them already!

Aleroy Gilligan is worth a look in my opinion ... He is fast has a bit of X factor about him and is a good tackler possible mature age rookie ?!?!?
