Past Chris Yarran

[Faz 2000]

He's actually got really quite a solid build, doesn't he? For all of 19yo, he's pretty big across the chest/shoulders. He obviously needs preseasons to build his engine, but I'd think he may be a nasty matchup for opposition teams in a few years' time with a combo of speed and power.

Yarran's 4th goal in that vid is a ripper!

Remember opposition fans calling this guy a bust 6 months ago? Yeh, West Coast fans have a 3+ page thread on how they want to extract Yarran from the Blues and how he's "scary talented".

We know.

Oh, yes, we know.

Gets along well with the younger brigade too.

I'm so excited about this bloke for 2010. He has shown some glimpses so far this pre-season, and if he is on, the opposition need to look out. Hopefully it will be round 1 vs Richmond.

 

[DarkTint]

Yeah Yazza could be weapon X come round 1. Before they know it he could finish the night with 6 goals and 3 brownlow votes. (We can all dream)

Scary thing it's going to happen sooner or later. Just a matter of time.

 

[Sin City]

One massive improvement I've noticed, most likely from increased confidence, is that he's really good at picking the ball up off the ground and accellerating away from his opponents now. Very good string to have added to his bow.

 

[DarkTint]

I think when he does have that big breakout game in the seniors there will be no turning back from there.

He is the kind of player who only needs 5 kicks for 5 goals.

LOL, I love yaz and he's played like 5 odd games, I'll probably be stalking him by the time he's played a 100.

Who you gonna call? Gamebusters: The X-Men of the AFL

As Carlton's Brett Ratten said of No. 6 draft pick Chris Yarran this week: "He is X-factor material. Consistency for young men is the hardest thing and that's what he's trying to replicate week in, week out."

Who you gonna call? Gamebusters: The X-Men of the AFL

I expect a return of 12 to 15 games for 20 to 30 goals.

Absolute dreamer you are!

If ratten has the b***s to pick him rnd 1 he will be dropped latest rnd 3!

This is a buddy draft thread to discuss the progress of a player, not to denigrate them when it is not constructive and not to stalk other posters.

Your value here is questionable to date.

 

[Silvagnis]

How could anyone doubt Yarran?

Forget the skill with both feet...

I love watching Yarran tackle and run opponents down.

BEST Carlton: Carrazzo, Betts, Gibbs, Murphy, Kreuzer, Simpson, Yarran, Bower, Scotland

Idiot.

Yarran was just amazing last night.
3 beautiful goals and brilliant tackles.

*drool*

Agreed. Setting up any highlight reels?

Don't get ahead of yourself. He had edwards on him and a first gamer. His first goal was great, second and third were handed to him. 11 possies isn't all that special.

Wait for after essendon - he will get dropped! I have no doubt.

If I'm wrong get stuck into me. When I'm right, don't gop hiding!

 

[Mister Carlton]

You are already wrong.

[TheKITC]

I'm not usually one for comparing players or getting carried away in hype...

But I think Chris Yarran could legitimately be a Jason Akermanis for us.




disclaimer: In strictly an on field, playing style and capacity sense. I don't expect him to be a hand-standing, ridiculous looking, opinionated clown.

disclaimer disclaimer: FWIW I like Aker

Yarran shoots to be round one Rising Star

If history is anything to go by, Yarran is in a strong position to take out the main award at the end of the season as three of the winners (Rich in 2009, Sam Mitchell in 2003 and Paul Hasleby in 1999) have been round one nominations.

And Carlton's win over Richmond was a fair indication that Yarran looks set for an impressive year as he shares the small forward duties with Eddie Betts.
