Player Watch #6 Robbie Tarrant - Retiring effective immediately

[RJKTiger]

Most of the North board think our window is shut.

We might not win another one but to say we are on the decline because of our sh*t year is a bit of wishful thinking.

It's pretty fair assessment unless the game plan changes dramatically. We need a gameplan revamp almost as big as our 2017 one tbh

You mean the game plan that's very similar to what Melbourne will be using in this years GF?

You have to have the cattle on the field to implement the game plan, we clearly didn't have that for large parts of this year, one soldier in one soldier out works for a short while only.

Got flogged by St kilda in 17 prior to finals and looked miles off the pace in 19 and 20 at times.

We use a game plan that looks a lot like Melbourne, with a bit of the Dogs in it.

Get a fit and firing team, with a rejigged game plan and we're on. Definitely .... if we stay fit.

after the game and was asking him about his journey from being overlooked in 2 drafts and coming from the VFL to now become a premiership player and who he had to thank for his journey.

Brown thanked just about every single person in his life except Norf Melbourne or anybody that had to do with Norf
GOLD



Brown : Thank F*** we goy yje hell out of that S**T Hole

Wasn't bad enough they didn't offer him 2 years at the start and then come back on there offer and increase $$ , now they recruit Lynch from crows laughable.

 

[Football Tragic]

Forget the age, Tarrant is one of the best full backs in the league...and we got him for nothing...from North! This just keeps getting better and better.

 

[_Wang_]

He is a gun, if we are having one last go at a flag with our list its a good call

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Yeah but how good is he really?!?

IF our best 22 ~26 have a good run with injury we could be contenders again. Tarrant is plug and play replacement for Dave. At the same time I hope we draft ready to go types. I'm no draft watcher but get a draft haul like Wrenny's
Finn Callaghan/Josh Ward
#15 (#17) - Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera/Josh Rachele/Josh Goater
#17 (#19) - Jacob Van Rooyen/ Matthew Roberts/ Matthew Johnson
#38 (may be lower) - Mitch Knevitt/ Jack Avery/ Luke Aleer

If the wheels fall off the season again then just plug these guys in. Plus RCD, Ross, MRJ, Miller etc. get ready for a few more retirements end of 22 season.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

He is a big upgrade on Astbury
Just hope we get 40 games from him next 2 years

Yep ,give it one last shot .
We owe it to Dusty and co too have another crack.

Robbie is a great pick up and I think you guys can win the flag next year

33 year old great pickup Think your more deluded than some in here as we got next to no chance next season unless a couple picks fly out of the box.
Well be here next season going through the same thing blaming injury's bla bla instead of understanding our list is on the way out. Bring in a player that age and resigning someone with Parkers skills again well not sure where we are going.

BIG UPGRADE on big Dave....pull the other one. Dave has about 3 cups and 6 or 7 big scalps in finals under his belt. if Tarrant can keep in good fettle, just needs to be a leader and a rock just like big DA was.

its pretty obvious now that Dave played his last year or so under duress, with a ruckman short and a few backmen down and with garth and miller not quite ready for the big stage in 2021 to tackle the big brutes of the comp.

Tarrant is a better player, no shame in that. Cant judge them on team awards.
