Past #25: Robbie Tarrant - traded to RFC for CCJ&picks - 2yr deal at RFC - 174 NM games/44 NM goals - retires 13/7/23 effective immediately

Does anyone have any idea why that mark wasn't paid to Tarrant with about a minute to go in the 3rd Quarter? Had no idea live and just watched the bit of the replay and still none the wiser... Doesn't look to have been touched, hit the ground, run off his mark etc.?

I think it was paid, but he looked to the left so umpire called play on

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Umpire thought the ball hit the ground.

 

[Tander]

Yeah just like Yarrans didnt hit the ground...I hope OPSM are giving these guys free or discounted eye examinations...Somehow I think the result would be disturbing.

 

[the big lebowski]

Another great game. Rutten hardly touched it.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Effort wasn't there today. Need to learn how to position himself and time his leading better.

Black and Petrie were equally as crap however.

 

[Fart Cummings]

could be heat of the moment but id consider trading him

 

[Pykie]

Seriously, he's trade bait if I've ever seen it.

 

[LB2Snake]

Petrie was smashed MUCH more than Taz. Smashed!

 

[trooroo4life]

Another great game. Rutten hardly touched it.

Apart from Blacks goal and a couple bits of good ground level work, you could say all three talls were terrible.

 

[Cold Gin]

"Tarrant got hands to it, couldn't hold on..."

Vying for the title of most oft-used phrase in AFL commentary.

 

[roomagic1984]

where is that fork again....?

 

[Roopassion]

He just drops marks that it looks like he's got, it's so frustrating.

 

[Spitta09]

Daw would offer more. At least hed give goldstein some chop out who was out on his feet once again . Same story different match, scott is a stubborn muppet

 

[gokangas]

Tarrant terrible but lots of mates. Trade bait? Don't think he has much value.

 

[LB2Snake]

Seriously, he's trade bait if I've ever seen it.

We'd get bugger all pykie. He's got concrete hands.

 

[blackshadow]

Seriously, he's trade bait if I've ever seen it.

Correct.

Hopefully Daw's tank will be much improved over the preseason.

Petrie, Black and Daw as our three talls.

 

[Tander]

Black was horrible today...

 

[blackshadow]

Black was horrible today...

Bullshit.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Black was horrible today...

He at least competed when the ball was in dispute.

Tarrant was like a piece of 2x4.

 

[Pykie]

Are we forgetting Dawes commanded Pick 20?

The Dog's would happily hand over their second pick for him.

Needs to learn?
Buddy he's not 19.
He's not good enough. And never will be.
We need a better third tall if we're going to play one who offers something different. Tarrant doesn't offer enough and has no distinctive quality as a forward.

 

[scooby1279]

3 talls and all did nothing. Black at least got his hands around the ground. If tarrant doesn't mark it, which he hardly did he offers nothing apart from a decoy.

 

[Tas]

We could have had Wayne Carey, Jason Dunstall, Tony Lockett and Gary Ablett snr there and it wouldn't have made a lot of difference. 42 inside 50s and most of them were complete shit.

 

[hotham]

Tarrant has never impressed me as a player
