He was a lot better then I thought he'd be. Rapt for him. was very good and rarely beaten, not just killing the ball but winning it back. Keep it up Tazza
Exactly the same. Showed a bit more guile and hustle than I'm used to seeing from him. Tick.

FFS - trade!!!!!!!
Result the same. I've given up on Taz.
He's not big/strong enough to play as a number 1 or number 2 defender, and he isn't quick enough (obviously) to play as a rebounder. If he plays defense its because Scott is looking for a spot for him because he can't break into the forward line.
There is far more to being a key defender than being "big and strong".

Otherwise lets put Wallace there.

Fact is Taz isn't up to it whether healthy or otherwise.
Been proven quite a few times already that he isn't up to AFL level as a KP player. Whether predominantly due to injuries or lack of talent. So yeah, it is fact.

Your overrating of Tarrant is what is silly.
Disagree. He has shown more often than not that he struggles at the level.

Just a reminder of some of the stuff that we can find in this thread. Not saying he has proven these wrong yet... But those of us that remained believers are feeling ok.
