Harry Taylor?

196 cm 92kg and still growing.Yes I think there is such a thing.I did hear today that 5 clubs have contacted him so just hoping he is still available at pick 30, and he is hoping the Crows draft him so that is a positive!

Of course I am going to alert other clubs. I'll stand with egg on my face if he is not picked at 30. Surname T....

And would that T be identical to the name of another player that we'll be drafting later on?

 

[Cap]

so what the hell are they going to do with the additional pick they have from Welsh ??

 

[BlackDouglas]

I cannot see the footy gods being kind to us two year in a row and having our ideal player fall into our lap. I will be stoked if we can land Brad Ebert at pikc 10 but I highly doubt it.

Picks 10 – David Myers (midfielder)

Pick 27 - Levi Greenwood (midfielder)

Pick 30 – Nick Salter (key forward)

Pick 38 - Mitchell farmer (quick small forward)

Pick 58 – Jared Petrenko (Quick midfielder)

Pick 71 – Todd Grima (forward)

Pick 75 - Taylor Walker (forward)

Robbie Tarrant (Key Fwd) - 25 April 1989, 196cm 92kg. Vic Country/Bendigo/South Mildura
"Weaver: It remains to be seen if the AFL clubs are still interested in old-school gorilla FFs. Tarrant has shown some remarkable bursts of form for his club. Thrown defenders about like confetti and waged one-man warfare against backlines. At 196cm he is tall, he is physical, he will bulk up, and roam about the forward-50 letting people know he is there. Not as quick as Barry Hall or Fev but from the same school.
"
"Ant555: Robert Tarrant -196cm, 92kg-Bendigo Pioneers. I have to put Tarrant on this list as i'm pretty sure someone will take him. Can’t give him much of a rating because I have only seen him play once this year (against Rangers). He was reasonably good in this game and took some good grabs but his kicking wasn’t great. Every other time I have seen Bendigo play he has been injured.
"
"Pykie: The Kangaroo's key needs are KPP's, as well as a few outside midfielders, my belief is the first priority outweighs the last, so I opted for the old fashion power forward.
Robbie is truely old fashion, Riewoldt is considered a power forward these days, but he plays more up the wing, running his opponent off his legs. Tarrent is in the Fraser Gherig/Brendan Fevola/Quinten Lynch mould, a well built forward that likes to body on body defenders. He can take some truely spectacular marks when he wants to, but can somtimes go missing at stages in games. His kicking for goal of what ive seen is good, field kicking is OK, but nothing 6 days a week of AFL training cant iron out. He is definately a project player, but a project player that is assured of becoming ""somthing"" rather than nothing. He could become a truely dominant player with a hard work ethic, but the raw package is there, and is for that reason i took him at this stage. If his head is right, he'll be a fine prospect.
"
if we get this guy....(no idea where his name came from )

I would be amazed, seems way to logical that we would go for a guy that seems to be exactly what we need. however the bold part may be a bit of a concern.

Tarrant is not aboriginal.

 

[Markthirtytwo]

Taylor?

Tarrant is not aboriginal.

That's true, despite what a post from Big Footy said earlier this year.

Taylor?

That's what I was getting at. Not sure if he's 192cm and 96kg, though they are Robbie Tarrant's measurements, so maybe that's who was being talked about even though he's not indigenous. Harry Taylor and Joseph Daye are the only indegenous tall forwards I can think of and Daye's name doesn't start with T.

The reality is that McDermott and Jesper have absolutely no idea about any of the players they have listed. But that won't stop the former skipper having a crack on Sunday if he doesn't think the club has picked the 'right' players.

If Brad Ebert is still available at pick 10 and we over look him this place will go into meltdown; so how is that any different?

Oh I forget he has to say everything is peaches and cream because he once captained the club, even if they are not however the average punter who simply supports the club can bag the hell out of it.

He has an opinion and he is entitled to it

Jarrhan Jacky. Unfortunately Robbie Tarrant went at 15 for the The Kangaroos. Jarrhan will be the pacy indigenous forward.

That really surprised me that he went that high.

Are you Nostrodamus in disguise??

Well anticipated.

 

[- PC -]

Who wants to write his article for him?

''Crow Joke''

Brad Ebert. Best local talent. Off to West Coast. Dont blame Port. The Crows bypassed him for a kid who will stay at school.Admirable traits in a young man. Matt Rendell has to go. Why oh why didnt the AFC go for some local talent?

Thats the 1st paragraph. Im gonna score points for every phrase I get right

 

[BlackDouglas]

Nope just pissed to be correct.


Knowing how much potential this kid has is easing some of the annoyance, now we just need to remove the idea that he has to do his schooling in Victoria and get him here on a full time basis.

 

[Crow-mo]

why? neither you, nor I or anyone really has a clue.

that's the danger of taking 100 people who don't know, and thinking that because we all now think this, that there is extra merit. 100 x 0 =?
