Player Watch #6 Robbie Tarrant - Retiring effective immediately

[beema limapep]

Delicious!

(As an aside, Gibcus came second in the club’s 4x1-kilometre time trials of first-to-fourth-year players last week. He is 196 centimetres. He beat the midfielders.)

Must play R1

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Must play R1

Doing his chances no harm.

 

[sanaya]

not to tear him down but i'm honestly not sure if coming 2nd in our 1-4 year players is that impressive once you looked at the names he's up against!


+ baker + pickett + parker
(im assuming that 1-4 year players would include the 2017 draft who have played 2018, 2019, 2020 & 2021 otherwise that counts baker out)

obviously im not being too serious, good on the big fella hopefully he can get a couple of games under his belt next year. he'd need to be playing alongside balta and tarrant though because the kid is a bit lightly framed

 

[El Tigre]

Looking at that list, being 2nd as a 196cm newbie is a bloody impressive effort.

 

[tiger_tough]

Yep pretty bloody good for a first year key position player I reckon.

I'm getting that good 'vibe' and 'feelin' that Robbie Tarrant

is going to have a good year in 22.

Happy to give him another go against the Hawks, but he would want to play a lot better. Should not be a round 1 lock just because he's a recruit and experienced. He was bad today.

If he plays bad again next week, it should be Grimes, Balta, Miller as the KPDs and Tarrant can earn his spot through the VFL.

 

[Rayzorwire]

He's better than he showed today.

Pretty much on par with Astbury and a marginally better kick/ball user.

 

[richard parker]

I thought it was astbury in disguise

 

[Tiger_Gas]

why have we slimmed him down

 

[Rich01]

He will be fine.
Geelong are one of the few teams that have three genuine tall forwards to cover and they have played together for years.

Gibcus and Miller paired with Tarrant against quality players in Hawkins and Cameron, alongside Esava and this stretched us.

In round one I’d expect Tarrant to take McKay, Grimes to take Curnow, Vlastuin to take Silvagni and Broad to intercept. Grimes back will make a world of difference.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Hopefully not a big deal if he fails with grimes. Broad. Balta. Gibcus. Miller.

 

[59Stanley]

He was messy and fumbled. His errors resulted in 3 goals to them. He berated himself which he needed to do. Overall he will be an asset

Yeah he was funing at one point. I think he'll be fine.

 

[bc27]

He’ll be fine. Very important to team up with Grimes and allows vlastuin and Broad to play off the 3rd-4th tall.

He is coming into a very solid backline and will need to find his feet in that unit.

I’m not worried at all. The guys a fitness beast and will get better as he gets more game time.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

wouldn't worry about his performance, pre season is pre season, dust out the cob webs

Job done, onto the next game

Used to be a lot better - i wonder if its the age coming through now.. slowness in the legs

Looked much better.

Looks a good fit + grimes. Gibcus. Etc.

 

[tugga]

Certain starter round one.
Will give McKay a bath.

Dont need him to give him a bath but just keep him to 3 goals or less

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Dont need him to give him a bath but just keep him to 3 goals or less

So just give him a dry sponging of the key areas?

Too many on here writing off a champion after two scratch matches in a new set up.

If he was 28 years old they would be singing a different tune

The guy is a champion and the tiger faithful will love him imo
