has told the Roos he wants to leave and chase a premiership at Richmond.

As revealed by AFL.com.au on Friday, the Tigers have offered the 32-year-old a two-year deal to join from next season.

Tarrant will be free to walk to the Tigers from October 1 given he qualifies as an unrestricted free agent.

The Roos initially tabled their former vice-captain a one-year deal before upping the offer to two years in recent days.

However, that delay allowed Tarrant to consider a move to another club for the first time in his career which he settled on Saturday morning.

Tarrant wants out: Veteran Roo to take up offer from big Victorian rival

The lure of a premiership has led key defender Robbie Tarrant to leave Arden Street

I think the tigers would give you a late pick to take garthwaite off our hands. I’m hoping he gets delisted, saw enough of him this year to realise he’s not up to afl standard.

Garthy drops the ball with both hands like an auskicker, no where near afl standard surprised he has even been on our list for so long

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Geelong would have given him double that

I just hope we dont give Talia 4 years

 

[fargothegreat]

I just hope we dont give Talia 4 years

So far we're the only two clubs that have been linked to Talia, so if we're taking Tarrant you might be able to get him for whatever you want! At a guess I'd say he'd probably want two years though.

 

[Suma Magic]

Not sure to be honest. I'd say if it wasn't going to trigger a compo pick for North yet still affected the chol compo for us we'd just give North our last pick and trade for him.

I reckon you are spot on there.

Im not against getting Talia (particuarly if henderson retires) but id prefer it was only a 1 year deal. Will probably be 2.

 

[Wild Bill]

Great get for Richmond, very underrated

Agree - stiff not to have an AA. If his body holds up he will be a great get. Wish him all the best. Been a great club.

 

[Rich01]

Both Chol and Tarrant compo’s aren’t going to be significant enough to not basically, cancel each other out. Slight chance at a band 5 pick to Richmond based on 4 year deal for Chol to 2 for Tarrant.
NM have zero incentive, at this time in proceedings, to do any trade for Tarrant. He’s a free hit as an UFA and CCJ could also be a freebie as pick one in the PSD.

It’s really at NM’s discretion what they do with both these guys, knowing full well, they can get CCJ for nada and get a compo pick for Tarrant. Richmond is at their mercy.

Yeah let’s see how it plays out.

His kicking is the least of his worries, gets pushed aside far too easily, body positioning is terrible snd skills ordinary. Probably a nice fella but shouldn’t be playing.

Looks like tigers are heading down Geelong path of getting in the old folk

Na I don't think so. Just covering a couple of guys in Rance and Astbury who retired prematurely.

 

[Ry009]

Odd decision, but if his body holds up and Richmond bounce back then it's solid risk.

Even if he doesn't, Tigers have a great club man, and a lot of experience for the youth there.

Don't like losing clubmen like Taz, but deserves a sneaky chance at a flag and security.

 

[Wild Bill]

Looking forward to seeing how the Tiger supporters rate him during the season. I really think he will surprise them with how good he is.

It's not really a risk though, is it?

Astbury retired after we offered him a new deal.

We get Tarrant for nix. If there was a cost involved pick wise, sure, there's risk. But if it's 4th rounder or after, or free, well it's just a free swing.


I get not wanting to lose him, and I sense with CCj etc looking like a thing, it will be respectful between both clubs.

I've always rated him.

I just didn't rate him quite the equal of Rance. But has he been consistently in the upper echelon of KPD for the last 6-7 years? Abso-bloody-lutely he has.

100% agree. Rance is in the top 3 backmen in the AFL times and has claims as the best. What Taz is super consistent at a great level playing on the number 1 forward.

Risk in the list management sense. I think you guys with a quick refresh can be bounce back to be a consistent top 4 side for a while, didn't think next year would be the year though?

I dunno about that 2022 seems very likely Cotchin and Riewoldt's last season, which I think is a good reason why the Tiges will hit this draft hard with kids.

It's whom they pick up with those picks will probably make or break the Tigers medium future window at a flag imo.

Bit of pressure on Blair Hartley or whoever Richmond's list manager is these days.

 

[PrinceCharles]

Not sure why he'd go to another club fighting it out in the bottom 4 next year.

Love the Blues supporters around this time of year. So feisty!

 

[Orange Agent]

Wants to chase a premiership?
Translated, Richmond have offered more coin.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Wish him all the best after a good career at north. I hope Richmond posters appreciate him for the champ he is.

Agree. Blair put together a list that has delivered 3 flags. No wonder Carlton are sniffing around.

Is that actually true? Haven't heard anything on that front ?
