[Orange Peanut]

I was worried when I saw the sad face on the thread title BTW, thought for a minute he'd chucked it in...

 

[gokangas]

Not sure how much more we perservere with Taz. Surely time is up. Anyone really confident he will play a season?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

I think he could have a Hansen like emergence if he went to defence.

 

[Harris 10]

Its funny when i suggested Taz moving back i got slammed from many on this board.
Good to see the club is thinking that way as if(big if) he can get fit he could make a go of that role.

 

[Passmore]

Absolutely worth a shot. He ,Narni and Tippett competing for a spot.

 

[King Corey]

Way prefer him up forward.

Not agile enough for defence.

 

[NMFC 1811]

Feel for him but this is his last roll of the dice. Cruelled by injury.

 

[Jay-Z]

If the poor bastard finally gets healthy, we will have him, Waite and even Hansen who could conceivably switch between either end of the ground as needed. Gotta be good.

Love the new avatar

Would he be similar to a 'Rutten' and be the rock while Hansen and Scooter intercept and peel off?

 

[justroyal]

Didnt he start there?

That could work yeh. Would have to use his height and size to advantage.

That's the thing. Throw ur f***ing weight around a bit. If I was that bit I'd be taking people out down at the shops. Why? Cause I can!!!!

Happy for Taz to have a crack as a KPD in 2015 (even if it's just learning the ropes in the VFL in preparation for '16) - we need to continue to get everything we can out of what we already have on our list rather than hoping for master trade moves and draft miracles.

Like it or not he's NMFC and I'll back him in until he hangs them up.

And there's a good chance if TT looked like Robbie he'd never get past a mirror without needing a quick pit stop.

You aren't alone.

Definitely worth a try.

TT has a pit??? Always assumed he had an outty.

Has been driven by neccisaty, most people now realise we need a gorilla back.

I tend to agree. As a defender, it's not enough merely being happy for your man not to mark it. Just picture Taz nudging his man under the ball, and once it goes over their head he is pretty much out of the contest, while the natural defender would then help sweep the ball away from the area, to be run out by the smaller players. Can Taz do that? Is he agile enough once it hits the ground?

Happy to just see him recover and get to 100% fitness. Then depending on how everyone else is going, we can determine if there is a spot for him, and where.

 

[King Corey]

Both. The big man tends go with his mood.

 

[KillaKanga]

He has a mood ring of sorts?

 

[King Corey]

He is a man of many euphemisms.

 

[Roobound]

Cool. Concrete hands will see him in the running for the Golden Fist.

Not that it is worth a pinch of camel poo but the last l saw Scooter was leading the golden fist. Did he end up winning it?

Yeh he won it.

What does he actually win? A fisting and a golden shower?

It's an award that makes the Brownlow seem relevant.
