Ducked out of work today and went and had a look at the Pies train. Was suprised to see Josh out there and more suprised to see him do everything.If he doesn't play Sunday he'll definitely play the week after. I'd play him out of a forward pocket. In more good news, Tom Davidson also trained and looked really good. If he can get the body right I really believe he could be a Tarrant clone.
Josh Fraser news.

Davidson is supposed to be a better kick than Tarrant. I recall a discussion a few years ago when they were comparing the two and people thought Davidson was a more fluent and longer kick. But after all those injuries who knows?
Would love to see him and Tazz working the forward line.

He looks and plays very similar to Taz. I have always said he could be just as good, if not better than Taz if his knee would just stand up!!!
i dont think josh will get too big a role, he isnt fit enough to be at full capacity just yet. really looking forward to seeing what the booch can do. and it would be nice to see 3 or 4 of booch, swan, heater, rusling, davidson and travis play most of the remainder of the season.

Read the paper today and saw that not only Fraser is in, but so is the Booch.
Considering this is a Rogan Thread, is he fit to be playing on Sunday, or is there a likely chance he will come out for say...Walker.

Tarrants kicking isn't awful, he isn't as bad as some, I could be completely wrong but I reckon he has an ok conversion rate for a forward.
It certainly has dropped off the last few years (2000/2001 was rated one of the best shots for goal in the comp) but it isn't that bad. 2 goals 2 is not shocking from a forward and neither is 4 goals 2. I'll complain about his kicking when he starts CONSISTANTLY converts less than half of his shots.

It would be interesting to look at his conversion rate, I maintain that he is shoking infront of goals. 4 Goals 2 may be good but when one of the two behinds could have won the game then it is a bad miss.

He kicks 58% on his career, and over the past three years, he's kicked at 55%.
It's not THAT bad, but it does need to improve.

He's up there with Rocca and Buckley but behind them IMO. That's part of the problem though. We rely on a FF that can't kick and averages about 2 goals per game. How costly can it be? 2002 premiership and 1 and maybe 2 games this year.tarrant said:
Tarrant, a player and a pick for Judd?
Tarrant would quit footy before he went west.
Eagles wouldnt trade Judd for Rocca Buckley Fraser Taz and our top 2 picks...and why would you.
