Tarrant's decision making process...

[Zeke]

Whilst Chris is currently travelling well form-wise, I have noticed that he often misdirects short passes from on the 50, following a strong grab.

I think he needs to back himself more when kicking from on or just outside 50.

Am I being overly harsh or does anyone agree?

I agree 100%!!!

It's one of my pet hates - a specialist forward who passes from 50 metres out. Sorry, but if you're in the team for your goal kicking, any time you're within 50 you should be aiming for goal. And if you can't kick 50 metres, then you shouldn't be getting a game up forward!

This isn't only aimed at Chrissy either - it applies to all forwards. Too often they pass which results in the other team clearing the ball away, when having a shot could at the very least result in a point for us.


And also leads onto my next pet hate - footballers who can only kick with their right or left. All footballers, in this day and age, should be equally adept on both!

Get hungry Taz.

Taz needs to pay a visit to Allen Jakovich.

Tarrant and Rocca should both have a shot every time unless a team mate is a mile in the clear. Passing by key forwards is one of my pet hates. There is a decision, kick and a mark extra for skill errors and that ignores the threat of an opposition player reading it early and making ground. Tarrant should shoot from inside 50m and Rocca should always shoot from within 65m.

I agree. Plus Tarrant's disposal really isn't anywhere near good enough for him to be trying pin-point passes into a congested forward 50. Some of them come off but the majority don't.

Plus if they always have a ping in these situations their teammates will learn what area to run to straight away. Leave a Pagans paddock open for the screamer or ball to run onto if it drops short for Leon etc

Rocca holds on to it way too long, Taz passes off way too much
