Player Watch #6 Robbie Tarrant - Retiring effective immediately

[Muddiemoose]

One thing you could see in that clip. He has the respect of everybody in the room. That speaks volumes.

Without a doubt
Especially considering he hasn’t been with us for very long and hasn’t played a game this year yet the boys are showing emotion akin to a 10+ year player who played over 100 games with them

Seems similar to lambert in regards to trying to push themselves through a chronic injury to try and play

He proved to all Richmond people he can really play last year. And I have very little doubt he has proven equally as valuable behind the scenes helping other players develop. He leaves his area of the ground in great shape with Balta and Young performing well and improving by the week, Gibcus coming through and now the next thing will be to develop the guys replacing Grimes and then Broad.

I think Tarrant was an astute investment by Richmond. I doubt we make finals 2022 without his presence, and several young players Ross, Gibcus, Sonsie, Miller, Cumberland and The Joker(Maurice) played their first final in that match, it will only help them.

should put him on the rookie list for 2024

Thanks for the short term medium term and long term and indefinite memories

 

[Vassp]

had a bad run, right place wrong time, he was a dependable Key defender who just did his job well.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Was pretty good last year for us and if not for a dodgy ARC call could have played deep in a finals campaign

All you want to see from your players is 100% effort and he did that no doubt

Thanks Robbie a real gentleman who the players embraced

I remember some of your defensive acts as if you were a 10 year veteran of the club.

You held up your part of the bargain a great shame your body just could not go with you.

Speaks well
Not a dry eye in the house by the looks of it

Onya taz I hope you always call punt rd home

Good luck mate always was underated as a defender hardly gets beaten.

 

[smasha]

Played some terrific footy for the mighty Tigers,body just could not hold up anymore.

Congrats on your career and all the best for the future.

The clip really reflects the culture that has been built by dimma, leadership and Gale. Need to protect this at all cost. We have seen with other clubs how quickly it can be dismantled

 

[Rayzorwire]

It wasn't the fairy tale both parties hoped for, but both leave well and truly richer for the association.

As for Robbie's career, over that similar stretch you'd be hard pressed to make a case for more than 2-3 full backs who were his equal or better. Champion player and every bit as good a bloke from all reports.

Sorry he couldn't experience a finals win on the 'G with the greatest club in the land as a player, he really deserved that and more, but clearly he's a Tiger for life now, which means he'll get to feel genuinely a part of our future successes - hopefully sooner rather than later!

 

[RFCGloryJC]

should put him on the rookie list for 2024

Taz and Ty Vickery (re-rookie) provide the spine in 2024.
Griggsy to solve the ruck issue.

Lot of love for a 20 game list clogger.

 

[Daka]

It obvious it was coming disappointing it didn't work out for him but at least he took that chance to try win a Premiership.

 

[lizard man]

I’ve got something caught in my eye

 

[Demetrius Zaarin]

Taz was pretty awesome, last year, we only had an average losing margin of 14 points thanks to him! Could you call him the "Human Defender Machine"? Ave Robbie Tarrant
