Robbie Tarrant

[zippadeee]

If Tarrant is fit, he will be awesome and pretty similar to what Lake was for the hawks

Awesome player than will actually be an upgrade on Astbury ( if fit )

Thing is though he is a UFA, so it may end up nullifying the Chol comp, so effectively it will be Tarrant for Chol.

Chol will get us sweet FA in compo anyway.
They will screw us like they always do.
So i say just do it

I think he will be on a par with Astbury. Astbury was super reliable and allowed our other defenders to play the attacking role.

But otherwise an excellent post.

I won Pakenhams Best Dressed man 2012-2016.

But I don't subscribe to the theory we need to recruit 30+ yr olds to stay competitive for a top 4 finish. It's a very short term, low return theory.

Well that would be some field to beat

If we do get a pick around 45 as rumoured for Chol , I’d doubt will use it any way Nik

This is not meant as an insult to Astbury.

So it’s official he has told Norf ya *smile* and is on his way to Punt Rd , welcome Bob

Who was the last ex #lolnorf player we had for us?

Aaron Edwards?

Well. It's going to look real bad if he turns out to be a crock. He's a much better player than Talia and will play high for us if he can get on the park. That would leave Noah as the plug (not a hard role to learn). And free Vlastuin to play small.

Tarrant wants out: Veteran Roo to take up offer from big Victorian rival

The lure of a premiership has led key defender Robbie Tarrant to leave Arden Street

I like it

We could still get to keep the Chol compensation pick if the Tarrant contract included incentives. The AFL does not include the incentives when calculating the compensation. i.e. Richmond offers $200k pa + incentives (even if they were easily achievable) North would get no compensation.

Could help with the CCJ trade deal. Possibly gives Richmond a bit more leverage now.

He had to wear his dress thongs.

We should get pick 38 (end of second round), but they'll screw us. We'd use it with other picks to get 17/18 off the Dogs, so hopefully we keep it.

Well. It's going to look real bad if he turns out to be a crock.

Nothing to indicate he's a crock, Jack. Missed the first half of the year with a cyst on the kidney, played 10 of the last 11. Prior to that he'd played 22, 23, 21, 21, 22, 16 (of 17).

He's a much better player than Talia and will play high for us if he can get on the park. That would leave Noah Miller or Weideman as the plug (not a hard role to learn). And free Vlastuin to play small and Balta to play forward.

 

[No 4]

Talia is a negating lock down defender - not much more to his game.

Tarrant is capable of locking down but also is a great intercept player and provides rebound out of defence - he is a much better player than Talia.

Also, expect Tarrant to be included in the trade for CCJ so it won't impact the Chol compensation - I expect an amical deal as they will want to look after Robbie too.

very good point raised. A trade between the two club and still have Chol compensation. @#$% hell there is so much to look at when dealing in the draft!

 

[tigertime2]

Always liked Tarrant. Great defender and a great pick up.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

So no free agency compo for Chol then, that is OK but IMO CCJ will go PSD

 

[tigertime2]

What about Zibell?

 

[Tigers of Old]

Wonder if we'll work out a trade with the Roos now.

Just hope we're not been brainwashed by the SHocking virus in recruiting old codgers.
