hop's would be top 3 if not leading the Jack Dyer medal count now.
Body is holding up and he is invested in the games.

im not sure you watched Hopper's disposal last night? Id rather get bullied and make a play than show strength and butcher the football.

Was that when he gave 2 metres to some Bomber who then kicked a goal? His effort chasing some Bomber from the goal square to I50 was woeful. I was watching him thinking he must be injured.

You might want to check how much disposals the Bombers mids had, Taranto only had 23 disposals that's not much considering how much time he spends in the midfield. he had a lot of lazy efforts last night, he would be the fittest bloke on the list by a mile yet still didn't chase at times, you see Tom Brown chasing and he is way younger.

He was bad last night. Must have a niggle
TT has a tagger hanging off him most of the time and will make regular 2nd, 3rd and 4th efforts so no wonder he shanks a couple and can look laconic at times when catching his breath. needs to be that 40% mid, 40% fwd and 20% pine time player.
hopper can be the 75% bull and get kmac2, sonz, clark, campbell, banks, meatball, young smith and ross as the support crew. Kmac gets in there if someone needs to have the clamps put on.
Our midfield isn't great so no shock.
We had K-mac and Sampson Ryan playing a lot in there as well so that doesn't help.
TT is allowed to have some off days I would've thought. At the end of the day he is here to be a big body and help protect the younger kids.
He's for the most part been pretty good and still has been elite defensively in pressure acts and tackling. He isn't going to carry the team.
Watching live at the ground, Essendon just seemed to have far more numbers everywhere on the ground. We were outnumbered at every contest. Wasn't simply just Taranto having a lack of effort, our system and outside game is just poor and developing.
He has an off day when he needs to make space and use the football well.
His defensive work is shithouse, Because when he makes a tackle he is standing or positioning right next to the player.
He stalks the player, waits for the player to take possession, and then tackles, which does nothing but reset the bounce.
These little big things are going unnoticed here. It's like he plays for the stat sheet.
Essendon had more numbers at the ball because they are more mobile, TT, Hopper and Ross are not mobile.
They're flat footed. This has been discussed 100 times in here, but still people don't get it. Its obvious.
So if you look at it from a pure football perspective, they're not very good midfielders.
TT should be tried as a forward pocket player to see how he goes. not sure what to do with hopper.
We don't have JR and a young lynch to pluck wayward kicks in hope, we need measured disposal.
We are in serious need of good, fast midfielders.
Going through the motions...
Prolly saving his body to edumicate the young midfielders...and drawing a nice big fat paycheck while he's at it...
Not going to go that extra hard yard...or intensity...

has he lost interest ?
Blokes having the highest rated season of his career.
Some of you will sook about anything.

Taranto is averaging 85.6% time on ground this season, that is very high for an inside mid and this allows the younger players to get longer breaks off the ground. This is the highest percentage in Taranto's career. It probably explains why Taranto is not looking too energetic on the field at times.
All his stats are looking really healthy, including coaches votes(he got 1 on the weekend) and player ratings, which are at a career high. Obviously there are some better midfielders around, but Taranto is doing a great job for us while we try to find some match winning mids of the future.

He's a lifer with us, we aint trading him. He is not the sexiest player ever, but he is just what we need while developing our next gen midfield. And he is a perfectly decent player. We are getting very close to having all the talent we need at the club, so we won't need more draft picks, absolutely no need to trade Taranto.
Taranto is a good mid, he just isn't a centre bounce mid. Doesn't win enough centre clearances and is part of our issue IMO
Around the ground he is more than fine, I can see why GWS played him as a half forward that pushed up and down the ground.

bulldust, is that why we are getting smashed every week?
Some just can read footy better than others.
In my humble opinion the reason we are getting smashed MOST weeks is because we are at the very beginning of a full, scorched earth list rebuild.
