Player Watch #14 Tim Taranto.

[fargothegreat]

Daicos is out for the rest of the season, which gives this bloke three games to catch him in the Brownlow. Hopefully he can have a bit finish and take it home.

I will also win a nice little bit of pocket money if he does.

Not unless Bont is out as well.

 

[tiger_tough]

Hes still currently 2nd in the afl brownlow predictor somehow. If he can finish strong he may end up in 1st.

 

[kozi]

Wins a brownlow but not top 150 in the league
Karen's job will be untenable from brownlow night onwards if Toronto gets it. I can't see how he continues

Will be Geoff Raines 1980 all over again but without the flag.

The media suck balls


why do they despise the tigers so much….talk about a mafia


With Timmt T…they neglect to look at the stats, instead look at his deal because Karen Corn is still crying about it …knob

TT is a good player…needs help in the guts

media bias at its best

Karen went on about it again last night on Classified - in relation to a discussion on PARISH deal no less - constantly referencing Taranto and Hopper.

Taranto was a gun this year, Hopper less so but a little injured.

The amount over the journey we're paying isn't going to be seen as significant and the flog thinks.

Fails to mention our Prestia and Lynch long term deals having already paid off as well!

Rent Free i know but seriously - he's actually a little sick i think ....

I just want to smash him, I heard that, he kept referencing Tarranto and Hopper as the big no no stupid deals sides are making. Hes such a ****ing troll

 

[Madtiger2006]

Needs to do more with the ball. Usually just handballs backwards or rushes a kick

you forgot, kicks more goals than any other mid in the comp, dominates clearances, tackles like a beast to add a few.

 

[tiger_tough]

He does need to sort his kicking efficiency out though. Newman and Yze were both highly skilled.....

Yeah but his deficiencies are an issue

 

[Truetiger]

Everyone has deficiencies lol.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Everyone has deficiencies lol.

He panics whenever he has the ball and has to give it to someone else or blind snap kick over his head on the wing lol

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

After the bye, did his role change? Or did the opposition smarten the **** up?

Reckon Dusty cleans him up to get the dyer medal

does everything except what he should be doing, He can't create play, throws the ball on his boot way too often, doesn't look where he is kicking, and is not creative.... if he won the Brownlow I would stop watching football and turn to rugby. TT better suited to rugby. DONT HATE HIM, i hate the way he plays.

 

[Boston tiger]

I’m wondering if we put pressure on him near the end of the season to be something that he isn’t … that is a creative user of the ball. Has a great footy IQ in getting the footy but once he gets its he’s a bit one dimensional and I don’t think he can change that.
Can get the footy and bang in through the sticks and at it all day. Might just have to embrace that.

Exactly. His composure is not afl standard. Maybe he can play with an ear piece and he’ll learn to be composed. If he can learn to relax when he gets the ball and look around and look for options he’ll be a very good player

 

[fargothegreat]

I think he kicks the ball too much. His high endurance means he's very good at getting involved on the spread, but too often we have a chain of handballs that ends with him being the money kick inside 50, and that's not his strength.

 

[Wavvey]

I have said this since day dot, his kicking efficiency will sky rocket when Lynch is fit and firing. We all know he loves to win the ball and just boot it forward. Lynch will benefit him hugely by either taking the big contested marks or crashing the pack and not allowing intercept marks.

If Balta goes forward he’ll be a great benefit too being able to play 1v1 on the Aliirs and Darcy Moores of the league.

 

[Grrr]

Had to do an awful lot of work and at times carried the midfield, pressure, tackling and running. He had very little support with Hopper injured and not really firing. Prestia just going and Cotch likewise. Maybe because he was at a new club he tried to hard if that makes sense.

He certainly hacks it forward a lot, but he was usually under pressure. He certainly tailed off perhaps due to fatigue. Maybe next year he might settle and find his niche a bit more and concentrate a bit more on his main weakness, composure.

I think Dow is supper important next year because he looks to get first hands on the ball and sets teammates into space with his handball release. No coincidence that with the demise of Edwards, Prestia's form also slipped. I think Hopper is also important because he likewise is a pretty cool head with the ball in hand. If he comes good that will also help Taranto.
