Draft: Chris Yarran

[bomber69]

If its any indication on this kids talent, Prescott rated him as the best Aboriginal at the Clontarf Academy that he had ever seen and Ryder was an attendee there.

Edit: Prescott, not Dodoro!

 

[Burzum]

Are you sure it was Dodoro and not Prescott?

Pretty sure it was Prescott.

 

[bomber69]

Ahh, Prescott my bad.. I always manage to get those two mixed up

 

[longytap]

Hmm, a "potentially" lazy small forward with hamstring issues at pick 5?

Spot on, last thing we need!!

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I wish we had more picks in the top 10. Imagine getting Yarran, Hurley/Trengove and Sidebottom. Surely this years draft is classified as a super draft.

Can only be declared a super draft when the players prove themselves at AFL level. A lot of talent there but still need to develop to AFL standard. Yarran could be a JON, Sidebottom a Dale Thomas, Swift a Tambling etc.

Back to Yarran, I admit I am limited to youtube highlights of the draftees, and the TAC cup final and 2 state under 18 games, where I did not see Yarran play at all. Therefore my assessment of Yarran in particular is made up purely from heresay and youtube (both bad indicators). But I just have a REALLY bad feeling about him, and there are so many other players I'd rather take in front of him... Ie. Rich, Vickery, Hurley, Trengove, Hartlett, Sidebottom, Ziebell and even, yes, even Swift (I don't like the amount of footy he missed through the crucial last two years)...

His highlights from the WAFL make him look better that S.Burgoyne.

the soccer forward, pick up and goal at 2.23 was something speeeeeeeeecial. Though i did notice alot of his shots on goal he could've had a shot with the left, but chose to checkside it off the right..

That may be so, but he effortlessly changes between his right and left foot.

 

[Ziltoid]

If that is so, then it's alllll good

 

[bomber69]

He is the best kick in the draft along with Rich.

He is the best kick in the draft along with Rich.

hold on there big fella, i am pretty sure that Rich, Ziebell, Sidebottom, would all have something to say about that. he is a very very good user of the ball, but one would have to say that one of the forementioned actually has him covered.

 

[loopy_cam]

He said along with Rich.

I did say Rich, but Sidebottom would probably be the only one I feel im being harsh to here. I know Ziebell has sublime disposal, but he is too rushed in his kicking for mine and tends to miss alot of targets. Sidebottom does come close, but Yarran gets the chocolates just

in an article i read in todays "west australian" newspaper yarran stated:
“At the start of the year I was playing through the midfield more than I was later on in the year but my fitness dropped off a bit with the injury and I couldn’t go through the midfield as much as I would have liked.”

so maybe he isnt just a fp and maybe he CAN play a midfield role for us.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

I have absolutely no doubt about the talent levels of Yarran, in pure football terms he is freakish.

So maybe i was right when i said a few weeks ago that he was more than just a small forward

Ant, you don't want to question the great bombersno1!

Anyone that had seen him play could've seen that.

Unfortunately, that accounts for about 0.01 of the people on this site. Not that that stops them from making wild judgements.

:-o NOT THE GREAT BOMBERSNO1 !!!

 

[FandangoDingo]

:-o NOT THE GREAT BOMBERSNO1 !!!

I'm having difficulty deciphering... Does it mean "Bombers (are) Number 1" or "A Bombers Nobody"?

I dunno... Kids now days.....

 

[cocobonobo]

hahaha totally agree.
i dont know myself.
i dont think bombersno1. knows himself

its so hard to keep up with these new languages nowadays...
for example..
msn/txt language

and then there is the carlton supporters language which is just slurred. haha
