Talia takes great care in his recovery to the point that he doesn't train as much as others. He had a torn meniscus in his left knee in 2020, then had off-season surgery and during recovery stage, he developed a serious injury in his left foot requiring surgery. He's had setbacks since the foot surgery and hasn't trained for probably over a year.

He said he was running 10 clickers not too long ago.

Maybe, might have both been factors. My gut feel is he didn’t pass their medical so they chased Tarrant.

Agree, everyone would recruit Talia instead of Tarrant if both their medical passed unless Talia unlikely got a bigger offer from another club? Port Power should have gone for Tarrant instead they were distracted with Dawson who isn't much their need.

Surely it would've been mentioned now if there was. Last I heard (after Richmond chased Tarrant instead), was that there were still a couple clubs showing some interest. That's still better than Hartlett having to ask if there's any interest.

Hence likely it's a career ending injury, nerve issue on the foot is very serious and career ending.

So in your mind, the only possible reason Port didn't go after Tarrant is because they've spoken to Dawson? That's demented, even for you.

I said distracted (learn to read will you Pepeaga), especially after the PF fallout. Particularly given Tarrant was a "shock" news he wanted out of North and Richmond quickly pounced. We know Port Power only had a salary cap of $800K which they unsuccessfully chased Merrett so doubtful they could fit both Dawson and Tarrant inside that cap, likely why they gone for Finnalyson as the backup trade to use up some of that cap since they already knew Dawson was more than likely to join us.

I'll really miss Daniel - in his heyday he was very consistent and was almost never truly beaten by his man. Seems like a top bloke as well.

yep..he was THE best lockdown key defender in the league when fit.

Imo, Port are going for the wrong people if they want to keep that window open. If Talia is medically fit to go, they are idiots for not looking at him as he solves their biggest problem down back for a year or maybe 2. They should also be going 100 miles per hour to get either Shiel or Mitchell to help in the middle. Forget Dawson, Finlayson etc - they are not the areas port were horridly exposed in.

Saying all that, I hope port don't get any of them and fall off the cliff next year

Edit: imo, a fit Talia no way gets turned over by Naughton in that final like their defenders did

I reckon Norton is exactly the type of player that would trouble Talia.

We know they had at least that. Rockliff and co retiring helps with further. I filly expect Port to bring in 2-3 players ( and trade some out) to try and improve. They do most years so no reason to suspect that won’t happen this year

Not so sure as naughton likes the contested mark contest..he is excellent but that is also talias strength to negate..the 1v1

Yes but there’s stand still and contested mark and then there’s run from 500m away and leap and contest mark.
 
Crow till I die said:
Yes..true

Edit. But didn't he take some rippers v port standing his ground in contests though

Probably because they didn’t have a Talia :p
He can do it all.
Is the one player I’d love to steal!
