Nathan O'Keefe is likely to get his debut before him, possibly this week.

What a **** DT buy. I pride myself on my DT picks, and this has been really poor from me.

Not impressed with myself at all.

They're teaching Tarrant to play a defensive role, so if they persist with that he won't be ready for a while I'd say.

Should be seeing Pratt back in the ones this week with Ed Lower probably not too far away from getting another crack.

The Dish is 2-3 away.

superkingdave · 11-05-2010, 12:29 AM

Think the defensive thing was more a preseason option, he's been playing up forward for Werribee

benchmark00 · 11-05-2010, 12:31 AM

Read a report the other day saying he got moved to defence. Will try and find a link if i could bf.

Robbie Tarrant (11 possessions, 5 tackles, 1 goal) had a relatively quiet afternoon but worked hard on the defensive side of his game.

Wasn't the article I was looking for but says it there. Think he was moved to the backline in the second half or something.

superkingdave · 11-05-2010, 12:36 AM

Think that just means he layed a few tackles

27. Robbie Tarrant:
Had a pretty quiet game. Got about 4 marks and kicked 1.2. Had a few handpasses and a good shephard to set up a goal in the last qtr but was nothing spectacular. Was hard on him though as every time that he was leading the kick would be either a full on **** kick or one in the air where its easy so spoil. In the end he had to start leading up the ground to get a kick.

Quote:

27.Tarrant- another game where he struggled to be effective and was overshadowed by O'Keefe. Finished with 11 disposals, 4 marks, 1 hit-out, 4 tackles, 2 blocks and kicked 1.2

Looking forward to Majak Daw making a late charge for the Rising Star award btw.

Thoughts on Kosi?

cameeel · 11-05-2010, 01:14 AM

He's rubbish.

benchmark00 · 11-05-2010, 01:39 AM

Not rubbish, just struggling.

The way the Saints have been playing doesn't suit his game, no doubt about it. Could be some juicy, juicy trade bait, dare I say. Can't see them getting rid of him though.

vic_orthdox · 11-05-2010, 01:40 AM

Reckon Carlton would look good with Kosi up forward, and let them play Waite down back where he's more consistent.

Craig · 11-05-2010, 01:41 AM

I think just as well I'm not going to Brisbane v Geelong on Saturday night. With the form Geelong is showing, and Brisbane missing a lot of their good players, it might be a one sided affair.

Would also free up Thornton to play in the Frankston 5ths.

Being chased by Lavington, I hear. $35,000 and a lifetime supply of peanuts.
