I can't see how any of our forwards would be of interest to Melbourne and I don't see what you are going to have left to trade after getting lever.

Maybe I am right most likely I am not but I know one thing and you are an angry individual

Hahahahahaha Matt Taberner is telling his current club he wants to assess the offers? Mate, take whatever you can get!

This bloke is one of the worst young full forwards who was patronised to 50 games. Pavlich taking the main defender couldn't even help him. The club makes him run down to full back and the wing all the time to get a touch, and up forward he's seriously below average but so happens to be the only genuine forward over 196 centimetres at the club. His marking is weak because he always has to come in from the side, he is incredibly soft, he never tackles, and despite all of this he doesn't even have a good set shot on him. Like if he could kick 75% of the shots he took, fair, but he can't. I swear he got notably worse this season too. Also can't get involved enough to have a kick on the run or from open play either.

If he goes to another club I'll be chuffed, if we get even a literal chip packet for him that's amazing. But I genuinely thought he'd go nowhere else if Freo delisted him.

But of course he won't go from Freo, for whatever reason.

I feel like being a key forward in the AFL is like being a male auditioning for a school musical

All you need are the right physical attributes, regardless of talent.
Sad thing is at least you have to audition for the school musical.

At Fremantle you get a game with the attributes, so long as you're just there.

He sounds terrible enough that Collingwood would be all over him. He and Mayne will be a lethal combo for us :drunk:

So the talk of Tabs leaving freo was a result of Nick Bowen's article http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-12/peel-first-then-freo-taberner-sits-tight

Travis King wrote his own article on what is seemingly the same interview http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-09-12/peel-first-then-freo-taberner-sits-tight

Seems to me Nick was looking to stir some s**t because pretty relevant lines like
"I've obviously been at Fremantle for a while now and I'm pretty settled."
"We've got a good group of boys and I'm close with everyone, so it's a good place to be."
are omitted as they don't fit his narrative.
FAKE NEWS
I don't see him leaving Fremantle.
