As I mentioned in the Hopper post, Hopper did a nice long kick to Lynch in a 1-on-1 contest with Weitering.
Now the Play Of The Day for mine is Taranto coming in from Lynch's right as Hopper kicks the ball.
Taranto has broken away from his opponent, moving closer to the Lynch/Weitering battle,
Taranto looks directly at Lynch/Weitering, working out what he should do
And Taranto decides his best option is to stick himself between Lynch and Weitering causing some disturbance
Now he's between Lynch and Weitering, remembering a couple of frames earlier, Weitering was all over Lynch’s body one-on-one
Lynch has some space now to do his thing.
Because of Taranto’s move, Lynch has 3-4 steps on Weitering, Taranto's opponent is 5 metres away to our right ball watching
Weitering by now has to start scampering to get around Taranto as Taranto had the smarts to get himself in-between their contest
Taranto's move has given Lynch all the time he needs to take the mark and tie the game up
Old matey on the left here clearly not wanting any body contact
Old matey on the left is catching flies or clapping Lynch’s mark
Well done Tim Taranto, great footy smarts and that’s how you impact a contest off the ball
Taranto or Rioli for the 3 or 2, take your pick who you like, but a great start for the Tigers statistically and impact wise by Tim Taranto
