Toast Big wraps for Yarran

" Chris Yarran was picked up as a No.6 pick in the 2008 draft. He's a player who caresses the ball rather than grabs it. At half-forward, a goal always seems a possibility when he's in near the ball.

But Yarran's performances at half-back during the pre-season makes you think of more possibilities again. He looks to love the fact that he can run straight at the ball. If he stays at half-back, he'll double his possessions tally. He could even become an All-Australian."

Looks like he is starting to get some 'outsider' recognition for his work in the NAB Cup/Challenge.

If he can keep it up for the entire season there should be a few lining up to sing the praises of the recruiting and coaching staff who will have unearthed an absolute beauty.

Consistency will be the key for Yarran this season.

If he keeps up his NAB form i think he will definitely be in AA calculations.

Aside from 5 he is the only player that sends a ripple of anticipation through the crowd when he has it. Maybe 38 as well. As HBF screamed repeatedly on Satty: "Silk, Silk!"

That's a shame.
Was hoping that Yarran's change in position would be kept under wraps, so a forward tag isn't put on him until a couple of match winning performances.
I guess Yarran is too skillful to be kept under wraps.

Agree though, but it would be kind of nice if it could just be played down a little longer

**** yeah... we could have gotten that Rich dood who would be signing for either the wet toasts or GWS at the end of the year.

Love what I've seen so far, but I want to see how he handles the forward tag before numerous loads are blown

 

[bluepride]

Yarran will still fly under the radar for a few rounds.

Thread was a toast hence the word toasted, not directed at the skin colour.

You and your racist attitude.

When he is tagged it'll free someone like Russell or Bower, maybe even Gibbs up to run amok. They can't tag everyone if they want to kick goals. Can only be good for us and he has the tools to beat a tag anyway.

Ease up

 

[thylacine60]

He did ease up, Sin. He didn't say better than.

 

[choo]

Ease up

Not NOW.
Watching him on Saturday, thats who he reminded me of.
His decision making is brilliant.
Last year as a forward he was a follower
This year as a defender he is a leader.
He was directing team mates including Jammo.

Don't worry mate, we're all hoping for the same thing. I'm as big a fan of Yarran as you'll find. Just a bit wary about comparing a guy who's building towards a breakout season to one of the best players of the last twenty years, hope in time you're proven right though
