Some of you campaigners need a brain check

He’s playing in the bottom side of the comp. He’s not Jesus Christ

Yep - he was one of our best in a great win v Carlton, and he had a shocker yesterday.

JHF had a shocker too. Harley Reid had a shocker first round. So did Naicos. Neale had [emoji637][emoji637] touches round one.

TT is a gun and our midfield would be absolutely cactus without him. He had a poor game. It happens.

Which club would do that deal? These contracts are Dimma’s legacy to us. There is no way these guys will be best 22 in 2027 let alone beyond that.

Who knows we might need to pay some of his salary. Other clubs have done it. But you might be right who would bes stupid enough to pay so much for so little and for so long.

I haven’t paid much attention to him but he’s a theory.
If he’s stressed it might be because of what we are asking of him. He’s a get it and kick it player. His best games were when he first came to club and he had that freedom of just worrying about getting it. Unfortunately get and kick it went out of vogue a fair while ago unless you are forward.
One from left field is that he doesn’t want the ball as much as he did because the more he gets it the more his weakness is exposed.
Either give him the freedom of just belting the ball forward and he’s back in his happy place or do what GWS did and play him forward and then ….
 
It's time to admit that GWS knew what they were doing playing Taranto forward.

He is too slow to play in the centre full-time. He doesn't have the power and speed to get the required separation from his opponent. You can get by playing him there against teams with a slower midfield, but many midfield groups (like Collingwood and Port Adelaide's) are too quick for him.

For now, we obviously have no other choice but to play him inside full-time because our younger midfielders aren't ready yet. However, we should transition him into the forward line within the next two seasons depending on how our young midfielders are going IMO

You're kinda on to something, just your vision is a little off. Your focussing on his face....... you should be focusing lower. He actually has an ingrown toenail and his haemorrhoids are flaring up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
Playing him and Hooper we are going no where no consistency, brain fades, poor disposal yesterday was like passenger like.

Yeah I know but he just looks stressed or even a bit disinterested …. Feel like he either needs a break or the coaches need to find a way to motivate him

Feck if that is the case then we are sheet in the midfield!
 
He wanted to be captain
Once nank the tank got it again
Timmy has lost interest plus
He was promised the world by dimma
And the club .now he sits at bottom with little hope going forward. I would be devastated and shattered to if I was him

Had a poor day. Usually he is solid to very good.

Tim will come back and be that central player again. Unfortunate, but also a reality check that without TT, even a good Hopper won't stop us getting shellacked. Got to have him stay fit if we are to be competitive.
 
His disposal is simply awful and not at AFL standard. I am sure he is a nice bloke but he is a momentum killer and we are literally better off without him. This is not a recent thing he has been like this for years hence my consistent criticism of him.
 
We have replaced Graham, Bolton, Baker rotating with Ross (187) Kmac, Lalor.(187)
So we have 4 187 players rotating through there.

Kmac2 is 187 as well.

We badly need a fit MRJ or rotate Green, Campbell in there. Alger?
