Watching his highlights, it was treating seeing his intercept marking, his quick and big (that's what she said) and very agile for a big bloke (that's what zondor said:stern look). Just needs time and a little patience, I'm glad brad is backing him in.

So, afl.com.au are going with this:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-03-16/tarrant-a-lock-for-roos

Cliffs: Swallow says Tarrant is a lock for round one.

I haven't had time to listen to Swallow on SEN but from the quotes in the article it doesn't indicate that it's as definitive as the writer suggests. How I read it is that Taz is a lock to be in defence this year - not a lock for round one.

Anyone who listened to Swallow (audio contained in the article): Did he actually say Tarrant is lock for round one?

If it's the SEN interview, Swallow said Taz would play defence, not that he was a lock for the Round 1 team.

Listening to the interview now.

Is Mark Allen (where's he from btw?) fair dinkum? Tried to list all our key forwards to ask the (now tired) question of how the coach is going to fit all the key forwards in. He rattled off Waite, Brown, Petrie, Tarrant... then gave up.

Even watching the 5 minute long highlights package of the NAB Challenge games will show you that Tarrant is playing down back. The information has been out for about 5 months now. Lazy media performer is lazy.

Expecting intelligence from Mark Allen is like expecting * to be honest.

He came across ok and interested in learning more about North's setup but that was a bit ill informed.

Compared to most media folk he seemed good enough.
