Chris Tarrant will give Matthew Scarlett a lesson in football this week

When Tarrant has been fit and Collingwood in half decent form Tarrant has run Scarlett ragged in a quarter. If Freo win enough of the ball Tarrant will beat Scarlett and scarlett will be moved off him. That’s unless Scarlett plays on Pavlich of course - which I think is likely. Either way, Geelong will win the match.
Scarlett has been crook so i suppose if its to happen itll be this week, but it will be hard for Tarrant to get the ball with the poor supply his midfield will likely serve up.
Taz wont give Scarlo a lesson........not sure he could actually teach him anything!
But Taz does usually play well against Scarlett and Geelong, his running and hard leading has been too much for the Geelong backs in the past

If someone posted these exact words last year, before a game between Geelong and Collingwood, this thread would've stretched to 40 pages. Collingwood fans are an interesting breed. They can only discuss their players sensibly after they've left and moved to another club.
Tarrant is a good footballer, but he has always received too much publicity. He worked hard and played a role at Collingwood, but he was never the matchwinner their fans wanted him to be. I haven't seen a lot of Freo this season, but in the games I've seen, Tarrant has been okay. He is such a shocking kick though, which is a big drawback for a footballer.
Consider them marked. Do you represent all the Clokes or just the ones who are in the VFL?
So scarlet will know how to moon women and drink after Saturday.....
Seriously tarrant has always played well on Scarlet but as usual has a poor return because his leads are out wide or too far from goal. Pavlich is your star...how he goes against a very good backline will be worth watching.
Right, and no other supporters have any bias whatsoever when it comes to discussing their players.
Chris Tarrant is the most overpayed player in the game.
If he had a huge pre-season and focused on nothing but football he would earn that money but sadly....

The twit that started this thread wanted Collingwood to pick up Matt McCarthy at the end of last year,so you can see we're dealing with someone who isn't playing with a full deck.

Tarrant has a better record than most on Scarlo this is true but the Freo midfield aren't that scary so opportunities might be scarce.

Collingwood fans are the same as all fans, tend to overlook a players weaknesses and focus on their strengths. If they move on they know their strengths and weaknesses but can comment more objectively as emotion is taken out, usually!
Wonder what ur view on Hodge would be if he wasn't a Hawk!

( on a side note ) Whats with everyone hating hodge? I think he's a gun. Great mark, fast, good skills, pretty tough. I dont get it?
That may be partly true...but can you tell me which group of supporters are any different?
Is your 2007 opinion of Spida Everitt the same as your 2006 opinion of Spida Everitt?
Don't forget, Chris Tarrant left Collingwood for the club that were a premiership favorite with many footy followers. That club currently sit in the bottom 4, and Collingwood are effectively equal 3rd from top.
I think Collingwood supporters are entitled to have a bit of a harmless dig at Chris this season. Especially considering many thought our entire structure would collapse without him.
Things may change in the future, and the Dorkers and Chris may have better seasons to come. But for the moment there's nothing wrong with Collingwood supporters enjoying the disaster that is Fremantle....
Geelong by 21points, and Scarlett to be directly involved in at least 4 goals...
I too reckon Hodge is a gun, just dropped his name as he is a Hawk who Chewy talks up a fair bit, if he left the Hawks i wonder if Chewy would still talk him up?
All supporters talk up players at their own clubs and talk down players who leave!
Spida Everitt at the hawks was one of the best tap ruckman going around, once he left he was a cancer who was stiffling the development of 'the big man' Taylor!

Egan will take Pavlich and Scarlett should line up on Tarrant.
If Tarrant wants to lead up the ground and takes the majority of his marks on the wings/midfield, Scarlett should let him do that, because it's not going to really hurt us on the scoreboard.
In fact Scarlett should probably zone off, and be that loose man in defence, so that he can rebound the footy down the other end which he's very good at doing.

Dangerous. Tarrant doesn’t kick well for goal but that is a mental issue. His field kicking is generally good and Pavlich will appreciate any latitude given to Tarrant just as Rocca did at Collingwood.
I don’t see why Scarlett wouldn’t line up at FB on Pavlich and Harley get first crack at Tarrant. If Tarrant runs him around and it hurts via Pavlich then someone like Egan would be moved onto Tarrant. FWIW the blokes that give Tarrant the most trouble are not the strong talls they are the nimble and they don’t have to have much height. Joel Smith types are the way to stop Tarrant – when he isn’t stopping himself. On his day though it doesn’t much matter if he gets decent supply.
