Yep. And whilst I ain't a fan of statistics, the free kick count don't lie! He's had less than he should have. Biased or not, it's the absolute truth!!

Read the link I posted again. There are none of the major full forwards on as few free kicks as Tarrant. None.
I read your link. I don't see what it is supposed to show other than that Tarrent has had fewer free kicks than the others named. They don't show that Tarrent gets impeded and not free kicked any more than others. In any event, it looks as if the issue isn't going to be taken up by the serious press.

I don't even care if you, the "serious press" (oxymoron), or the scumpiring fraternity doesn't get it.

All's I know is what I see and I'm here to tell you that Tarrant not only doesn't get as many kicks as the other full forwards, but he week in week out gets scragged at least as many times as any of them.

But like I said, I don't care if it continues. Personally I'd rather us just take our medicine and get on with it. But I ain't making up the facts!

It's a pity your president doesn't take the same attitude. Outside the Collingwood Board, it looks like nobody's taking any notice of him.

Sick to death of Tazza getting scragged week in,week out & not getting looked after by the men in white :mad: The stats prove it & I dont care what morons from other clubs think,they are just being ignorant.Had Taz been playing for THEIR club,they would be up in arms & frustrated,just like we are NOW!

I still say the treatment from the umpires at the West Coast game was the worst this year, but yesterday was a close second. When Mike Sheahan goes in to bat for you you know it's bad. That song Three blind mice kept popping into my head.

And troll's need not reply, a quick look at the frees for table shows you that Taz gets nothing! Most forwards at least get the odd soft one, our boy doesn't even get the warranted or obvious frees and stats don't lie. Well done to everyone in the Ponsford for your collective sarcasm. And well done to the club on their public stance, Taz might end up having a holiday but whinging in the media works, that's why clubs do it.

I hear what you're saying about Tarrant being fast on the lead, but he's slower this year due to him carrying a knee injury, and as such, he is under more heat than in previous years. And how would it explain having a player like Mark Williams having 7 free kicks.
You might want to add Paul Medhurst to the comparison.
I saw him get one soft free kick at the end of the game.
All forwards find it tough to get free kick.
