*Cough*

It appears we chose well.

I'm believing more and more each week that he'll become our best player down the track.

So much class...

Three Boys Dreaming

In 2005, 48 of Australia’s best young indigenous football players attended a Melbourne camp, designed to improve their skills and set them up for an AFL career. The speakers and coaches drive home the message, it’s not just about talent – it’s also about commitment.

Over the ensuing four years, documentary-maker Michael Cordell followed three boys; Daniel (14) from rural north west Tasmania; Western Sydney teen, Daen (15); and Chris, a shy 15 year-old from Perth. Each boy struggles to keep the dream alive, coping with the usual woes of teenage males and the added pressure of being indigenous in today’s Australia.

Unlike the ABC documentary The Draft about Headland, Ramanauskas and Fevola, only Yarran made it.

What's Daniel's last name?

GUN.

Yarran just has so much time and pace when he gets the ball.

CY received a hospital ball from Thornton in the back pocket, yet he calmly gathers the ball under pressure, takes on Ward and gets past him after the Footscray player went to ground. Dummies Johnson by faking a handpass to Walker, has a bounce and burns off Ward to launch an attack with a pass to Henderson on the wing.

What a jet.

Any word on if the 'Three Boys Dreaming' will be out anywhere some time soon? Would love to see that shy Yaz as a 15 year old with skills beyond his years.

And that mo is a ****ing winner.

Aggree about the mo

It screened in Sydney back on June 4 for the Sydney Film Festival, but cannot find it anywhere else. On the producers website it is listed alongside their other productions like Bondi Rescue, Recruits and Two Men in a Tinnie as being made for the ABC so hopefully it will be screened on ABC1 at some stage, would have to keep an eye out for it though, would love to see it too

 

[Salaryman]

Not in the MIFF guide?

 

[Mandragoran]

Couldn't find it in the MIFF lineup either unfortunately

 

[Silvagnis]

Yarran has re-signed for two years.

Great news.

Looking forward to Emma Quayle's interview with Yarran.

Presumably in next week's Sunday Age to promote the game.

I guess that means Sydney will win...

 

[Sin City]

off back to wa by all reports... ash hansen and a 2nd round pick?

Would much rather Jurrah, or even rich for that matter

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

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

If we don't try and send him back to w.a next year we will waste any currency the kid has.

The guy is a liability and should be traded to w.a at the end of this year or up to the GC.

Terribly homesick. Congratulations on the new contract Chris

Yarran inks two-year deal

“I’m happy to sign a new two-year deal with the club,”

"It’s good enough for me that the coaches and everyone have got faith in me for a two-year deal. I was rapt with it when I got it and hopefully I can return the favour and play some good footy to the end of this year and in the two years to come.”

“Luckily the contract came through [because] I love Carlton, I love the club and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” Yarran said.

“As a high draft pick I thought I let the club down. I didn’t really play enough games as I thought I should, so I just wanted to repay the faith the club had in me,” he said.

“They drafted me pretty high and I thought I let them down a bit last year . . . but this year I’m having a lot of fun and I’m playing some good footy.

CFC TV: Chris Yarran re-signs

 

[Mister Carlton]

Great news. Yarran is a gun.

Yarran by the Yarra

Last year, Carlton captain Chris Judd and Connors took Yarran out to dinner a few times. None of the first-year players, Judd pointed out to him, were doing any of the extra sessions. If you did them, we'd all be thinking 'wow', Judd said.

One day last summer, trailing in the time trials again, Yarran called Judd and asked him to come run around Princes Park with him. "Juddy had flogged himself the day before and it was the last thing he wanted to do, but he couldn't say no to the kid," Connors said. "A lot of people were good to Chris last year. But he's changed. He's started to think, 'OK, hang on, if I can just get my body right. . ."

Three Boys Dreaming... the sequel

"Of the three boys, he [Yarran] had, and I think still has, an extraordinary focus," Cordell said. "Daen and Daniel had their own problems to deal with, but they were much more like regular kids in that they were easily distracted, whereas I think Chris had this unusual kind of steely drive and determination to train and work hard and succeed.

"He always seemed very serious about what he was doing, and it was quite hard to get super close to Chris, but I certainly have a lot of respect and admiration for the determination he's shown, because he's had a pretty tough family life and there have been plenty of opportunities where he could have gone off the rails.

Three Boys Dreaming debuted at the Sydney Film Festival last month and will screen on the ABC later this year, with Cordell also planning a screening in Melbourne and possible cinema release.

He went home three times for funerals, each time grateful for his club's support. "I heard that too," he said of the persistent rumours he had walked out on the club. "It was stupid. It was never true at all. Where would that have come from, you reckon?"

Yeah where did those rumours come from...?

****ing BigFooty.


**** me, if you didn't love the Yaz before and don't after reading this, then there's something wrong with you.

The AFL need to bring forward the 2011 season just so we can watch Yarran again.

Flicking through Yarran's highlights and goals on the game analyser was delicious. Gilbert had the pedal to the metal trying to keep up, but Yarran was motoring along without looking he was even pushing hard to get free.

Feel comfortable putting Yarran beside two talls in Kreuzer and Henderson for upside and talent. Already looks like a ball of fast twitch muscle under the jumper, but still needs to improve his endurance and workrate.

The Blues might have the quickest side in the AFL in two years time.

 

[zeeCFC]

He's a joy to watch in full flight, needs a bit of work on his decision making (or the speed of it) as my only criticism of him is that when we are trying to move the ball on quickly and Yaz gets it in the midfield, he has a tendancy to hold it too long.

Once the endurance is up though I'm sure he'll cement a spot in the 21/22

 

[Silvagnis]

Yarran's clearing and pressure kick from deep in Geelong's backline to a teammate on the wing was perfect.

And on his wrong foot.

The deliberate grubber he kicked to Simpson on his wrong foot in that match was pr0n.

I can't fault his decision making.

 

[zeeCFC]

true, he did pull a handball out to Carrazzo from huge pack vs. Port to start our final term burst (with some help from Judd)

maybe he needs to think less AND JUST DOOOO!

Agree, he holds onto to the ball too long at times but always ends up making the right decision but needs to do it more quickly.

 

[Mister Carlton]

BIB, just posted that he has gone back to WA. It must be true...

 

[Silvagnis]

Yarran turns 20 in December.

Delist.
