Hater? Doubter I can understand, only due to injuries. But hater?

Agreed bit harsh to hate a player who is never on the field.

As a Taz hater i must say he did very well. Defended well and gave us some drive from the back.

Wasn't he great mate??? How many games until you are on the Taz Train???

What has he done for you to hate him? Busted his balls to get to where he is while you sit there on your fat ass hating.... dont be a dick

 

[Kimbo]

the big lebowski to login and discover he's been hammered!

FFS - trade!!!!!!!

Result the same. I've given up on Taz.

He's not big/strong enough to play as a number 1 or number 2 defender, and he isn't quick enough (obviously) to play as a rebounder. If he plays defense its because Scott is looking for a spot for him because he can't break into the forward line.

There is far more to being a key defender than being "big and strong".

Otherwise lets put Wallace there.

Fact is Taz isn't up to it whether healthy or otherwise.

Been proven quite a few times already that he isn't up to AFL level as a KP player. Whether predominantly due to injuries or lack of talent. So yeah, it is fact.

Your overrating of Tarrant is what is silly.

Disagree. He has shown more often than not that he struggles at the level.

Just a reminder of some of the stuff that we can find in this thread. Not saying he has proven these wrong yet... But those of us that remained believers are feeling ok.

The one thing that stood out about Taz on the weekend was how quick he actually is. I knew he had a bit of pace, but way he closed down his opponent the lead was very impressive

"hater" is a term ya jerks

Stop being a Big Lebowski hater

Consistent form like that could save our season. Tippett seems to be better at fullback.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Rightio lads, there's so many "jerks" and "dicks" posted on this board this week that people are going to mistake it for Grinder.

Personal barbs are unnecessary.

It might sound silly, but with Petrie and Waite having just a couple of years left at most, we could use Taz up forward again, before too long.

Turns 26 this week, does Taz. Has only played 40 games. Hopefully a good run of games from here on.

Heard a roos supporter say "I've been paying him out for 10 years, he can play" after Tarrant kicked that goal. Classic

 

[Engimal]

God I hope he can back it up. Not only for his career, but it'll free up Thompson to do what he does best rather than playing a stock standard 1v1 role.

 

[Gasometer]

Can he do the deed on the Cats Gorillas this weekend?

 

[Saintly31]

Absolutely loved his work on Sat night.

I've been very critical of his awful performances but he showed really positive signs down back. (unlike when he first started)

One of the best things to come out of the game, fingers crossed he stays fit and continues to show that kind of ability and output.

Good post mate.... Especially when considering your posting on him.

I cant wait to see him match up on Porkins (if he comes back). Taz to thrive and take the chocolates!
