Should Taz be dropped?

[nipper]

I know he has been good around the ground all year and he was good again tonight, but seriously, the guy can't kick to save his life. Do you guys think we should drop him and bring Murphy back in for a shot? At least Murph can kick in a straight line. I don't know what's wrong with Taz, it seems he really struggles for confidence and I have no idea why. He never look's confident kicking the ball, even from straight in front. How do we rectify this? He is hurting us bad and that's even more apparent when Pav has an off night.

He played terrific, he would have been happy with that being able to run the ground again.. drop him-"WHAT THA". Pav's struggling at the moment but you only had to watch Pav lining up in the last quarter, he was breathing so hard he looked like he was in oxygen debt. They do much much running there isn't much oxygen left over for those legs to kick goals. Some of those goals just wouldn't existed if it hadn't been for Taz. Taz is right handed and kicks left, therefore dropping the ball with his left hand. He might have to look at changing his kicking leg. When you see him live, is when you see all the extras.

Recruiting Tarrant was a mistake IMO but he has been very good so far. We just have to accept his kicking...

With all due respect.

I was actually quite gutted that WCE didn't pick him up.
Angry that as soon as Freo heard that Tarrant wanted to come to WCE, they had to trumpet the Eagles at any cost.
Happy that WCE didn't get into a stupid bidding war with Freo and pay over the odds.

Saying all that, Tarrant has been great for you but I would have thought that fixing your midfield (height & pace) would of been a greater priority.

Can't think of any A grade midfielders that got thrown up at Trade time. Chad Fletcher doesn't count.

One thing I've noticed is the body language between he and Pav. Something that becomes more obvious at the ground. It could sound a bit gay but I think he and Pav have some sought for mutual respect.

They are definitely creating some sought of synergy. One of the positives is if you have real friends at a Club it makes staying easier. Another positive, they will play for each other all the time which can only benefit our structure.

If we were 8 and 2 I'd be stoked with the Tarrant deal. It's hard to justify trading for a flag when you are sitting 12th ten games in.

Pavlich and Bell played a big part in convincing Tarrant to come to Fremantle. I was really happy about that, it showed that the senior players were keen to recruit him and would work hard to help him fit in.

Its easy to justify trading for a flag just after finishing a season finishing in the top four and winning 10 of the last 12 matches.
