Draft Profile Tim Taranto

[JG22]

Tim Taranto
185cm inside midfielder
Sandringham/VicMetro

Another great game on the weekend from Taranto continues to drive him up the draft order. All Saints fans would love him at #10 but he looks gone at this stage.
We're do you think he will go?

I'd be very surprised if he's gone by the Saints' first selection - the only real threat IMO is Richmond who may look in his direction if the trio in McCluggage/Brodie/McGrath are all gone.

Hopefully.
But his form has been outstanding and is rising quickly

 

[eDPS]

His finals games have been nothing short of outstanding. If he plays this week like he has the other finals he would have to be a top 10 lock maybe even top 5.

 

[eDPS]

Another best on ground performance with 4 goals and 17 contested possessions. Think he is firming for top 5 atm

Officially re-thinking my phantom draft - Tigers crying out for a Fyfe, if they somehow manage to keep their pick 6 after a trade for Prestia is completed; he is as close as they will get.

Today reminded me more of James Hird. Just such class with clean hands overhead and one touch at ground level and kicks goals from any situation.

Reminds me of Bartel.

Could be in calculations for top3 picks now

Superstar

 

[TRUMAN#1]

Only in the first qtr in the GF. But what I've seen is all good.

Would love him at Richmond.

 

[adammania9]

I think McCluggage to Essendon is done - and I reckon Taranto will be looking really tempting for Brisbane. He's not even in the comp yet and I already have a man crush.

He's 88kg 188cm, he's already ready to go and partly why he's staring

Will be a star. 100% on this kids bandwagon. Bartel/Bont/Fyfe-esque

Ready to go next year aswell

One of the biggest bolters in this year's draft. Scrimshaw great in the GF too. Sandy could well provide 4 of the first 10. They've been so good

McGrath, Taranto, Setterfield and Scrimshaw and somewhere in the 2nd round should be Florent and Lyons. They all work together so well aswell the amount of link up and sync they had with eacother this year was outstanding.

 

[Thuggee_Cult]

Silly question but is he any relation to the ex Coburg (VFA) player Vinny Taranto?

 

[Rack Watts]

Really? I think we will trade 1 to GWS.

 

[Matty411]

I'm on board - think he could be the 'hybrid' midfielder Blues alluded to. Surely won't go before 5? Question would be whether we go a Brodie or SPS over him.

I am pulling my hair out between Brodie and Taranto.

I am actually hoping one gets picked before us so we don't have a choice!

... and we take McCluggage or McGrath.

 

[mtooler]

Hopin he's there at 9.

Doubt it, aren't Sydney tipped to get Griffin Logue anyway?

Yeah fans think so. Id rather Taranto or SPS.
