Taranto is a beast of a runner
Always had a massive tank and was not utilised the best at GWS trying to plonk him fwd at every opportunity
Hasn’t the pace of Lambert, but we could do a lot worse if we use Taranto to replace him.

Nooo Noooo TF :oops:
Yeah. Partly my fault as I was too paranoid noticing some of my hair thinning out so I decided to go and see A&M weekly. Radiated my head with some infra-red light and other rubbish which did SFA. Money wasted. That's naivety for you at that age.

Compare that to superstar recruit $800K per year Zac Williams who apparently showed up to his new club last year in, well, shall we say less than impressive shape.
Been thinking about this and it’s an astute observation. First day of training at a new club, Taranto made a huge statement.

How long has K-Mac been our time trial king? 3 years? 4 years? And first day of everyone back Timmy T smashes him.
But it’s not about our bald big strong winger. It’s Timmy making a huge statement. It’s a leadership moment. Little things like this make an impact on the group day one. Standards got raised.

Thank you for attending My Day 1 overreaction Ted Talk.

Getting married at a young age did the same to me. And I don't mean the head butting of the bed backboard.

How good is it to have a trade recruit come into the place and set new standards at training? This is the epitome of good list management - getting people in that are talented, hard-working and of good character. No wonder we're the best club in the land.

Watched the Fox Footy mini grand final (30 min package) 2019 GF - Rich v GWS. The 3rd quarter goal to Lambert (many will know this - "its Tiger Time") that kick from Torranto that lead to the turnover was horrific.... On the up side, just as the commentator mentioned " where will GWS 2nd goal come from" 10 seconds later Hopper snaps a goal - that was a smile moment hoping we see a few more snap shot goals at the punt road end from 2023 onwards,

Not if we get another Dow, Corey Ellis, Tyrone and Vibes Lennon :mhihi
Tambling , JON , Dow , RCD , Fiona the list goes on and on
Pick #14 + #21 is a bargain

Would we trade Shai Bolton for these picks ?

Why is the media so hard on this kid? If he chose to go to Geelong or Collingwood and winning Time trials by 15 minutes, they would be slapping themselves
