The fact that Hardingham is half kangaroo and Pears is now relatively useless in one v one's.

I was just joking around, TBH they're both pretty crap.

Hardingham is a better one-on-one player. He's a very competent small/mid-sized defender. I am staggered that he isn't on an AFL list.
What he does without the ball isn't the issue.

Disposal is an issue - Still the first priority is to beat an opponent.

Tearing it up while wearing a hat.
Is Tayte still injured anyone? Would be great if the poor guy could get a prolonged run without injury I reckon he could still be OK...

Wasn't training in the modified group when I was at Tullamarine six days ago.
So its likely hes not injured any more and training with the main group??

He was playing in the main scratch match. There were seven not playing that I could see- Fletcher who was coaching, Fantasia who was umpiring the scratch match, and then Carlisle, Myers, Browne, Aylett and Dempsey who were in the modified group and either running laps or doing light work on the other oval.
Great thanks for the update Doss, hopefully Tayte has a big year this year

He's had a horrible run, but when he last played in 2013 i thought he looked okay. He moved well, got his hands on the ball, but was poor/average one on one. He's what 24/25? I hope he trumps Steiny and Gwilt this year and gets a decent run in the team. I think he has earned it.Great thanks for the update Doss, hopefully Tayte has a big year this year
It's not over for him (or ASADA) until the fatprick sings after all!

Maybe because he used to umpire?

Was he an umpire as a junior?

I have no idea, just that it's a possibility.

Maybe he wants to umpire after his playing career and getting a taste for it now...

Maybe he's a twig and can't play contact sport...
He was the last to arrive at the club on the day. Damm traffic!
i reckon they should get all the players to take turns at umpirinng the scratch matches so they learn where the umpires would be positioned so as best to get free kicks from the bastards
