Past #25: Robbie Tarrant - traded to RFC for CCJ&picks - 2yr deal at RFC - 174 NM games/44 NM goals - retires 13/7/23 effective immediately

[Snake_Baker]

Arguably the best full back in the competition over the past 5 seasons.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Gave another precocious upstart a hiding today.

Playing as well as ever.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I'd ask the mods to include "The Head Master" in the thread title, but seeing as this is an original Lidge, it should be left as it is.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

On track for another top three finish in the Syd. He's a goliath.

 

[Twinkletoes]

Absolute gun.

 

[AdmiralBenson]

Yeah i think he deserves more plaudits than given.

He started season slow, but at his best he's AA quality.

If the midfield continues to run both ways like Sat, we'll see more of Taz at his best.

I'd have hated to be a defender in our poor games with opposition streaming in from all angles from midfield.

Love him. Jacks a great captain but I reckon Robbie is the heart of this side. The way the players reacted when he kicked that goal against Sydney shows how loved he is. Nothing but respect.

Just read this off the afl app,

When asked which players were most affected, Scott said he didn't want to individualise, but then added:
"I felt sorry for (gun Bulldogs forward) Aaron Naughton."
Why?
"Because he was playing on Robbie Tarrant. I thought, 'I'm going to have to make sure here that 'Taz' doesn't go out and get reported'."
Naughton had no impact on the game, with just eight disposals and one goal in the Bulldogs' loss to North

Brad Scott has revealed his greatest challenge as an AFL coach came in the minutes before the start of his 211th and final game

Can't agree Jack is a great Captain but rest of your post is spot on.

He deserves it too.

Why turn something positive into a negative? Jack is a great captain.

Why is Jack a great Captain? Personally i rate Swallow just as highly and he wasn't a "great".

I love his endeavour sure, but it's incorrect to suggest that so far (especially all the missed goals where Captain's should lead by example)

When did Aaron Naughton become a gun forward? One good game and he is all of a sudden a gun forward?

By that logic Cam Zuhaar is also a gun. Lol

Had a few good games this year. And tends to bob up to break the game open. I really rate the kid, but Robbie is one of the hardest match ups you'll get.

Yeah not sure why the writer had to add that in.

The media love the Doggies. They are everyones second team, remember, apparently?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

An absolute colossus tonight.

Should be in the conversation for an AA spot.

How is it that Grimes, Blicavs, Keath, Talia, Moore and Andrews get more credit than this bloke? I wouldn’t swap any of them for Tazz this season.

 

[Snake_Baker]

For crissakes, he HAS to be in AA selction contention this ****ing time!!!

 

[the flying ham]

Love the man

On SM-G950F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[tazaa]

The love fest is over Darcy Moore but he is 100% a lock right now

 

[The Nostradamus]

All Australian type year

 

[giantroo]

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Starting to get media attention which is half the battle with AA. If he can hold Cameron in a fortnight then he'll be hard to shift.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I still reckon Rance has got him covered.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

'He takes the best forward every week'.

Take note, Alex.

 

[Val Keating]

Most underrated player on our list. Dudes a colossus
