#13: Chris Yarran

[Boggle]

We will find out who really won the deal in the years to come.
FWIW, I think he's a great get.
Will make our forward 50 entries a lot harder to stop.

Yes -- as far as on-field performance is concerned it's all about (and always has been about) potential -- Yaz has it in spades but he's got to turn it on consistently.

This is why #19 is a win and #12 would have been a loss.

For now, though, I'm laughing my backside off at the back-peddling being done by the Carlscum supporters on the main trade board. Pretty much everything they said would happen hasn't happened -- and that is a juicy win sandwich regardless of what happens in coming seasons.

Actually, now that I think about it, it's a bit ironic that the only way those Carlton supporters can get a win is if Yaz really performs for us -- if he does end up booting 50 in a season (or something silly like that) then they can say "I told you so" but it would be a bit of a hollow victory, I would have thought!

Does Yaz keep number 13?

 

[Nostradumbass]

Yarran- Round 1 - 22 disposals 4 goals. Lock it in now.

off half back?

off half back?

yup, how impressive is that?

 

[Valixir]

Exciting times ahead indeed. Just wondering though why he specifically nom'd us as his preferred club (I know we're awesome and all) but does he have any ties or mates at the club or is it the culture/outside club alliances etc?

 

[Tiger4Ever]

Imo we have a problem of the lack of scoring from the back 50 or at least on turnover. I really think Yarran with his speed is something we really lack and I am rapt we have him. Either from half back or the wing just make him run run run. Yarran back yourself and get the best out of this new chance.

This, I agree whole heartedly!

 

[Calcium Man]

Good luck to Yaz... offers something very different to what we have at our club. Just need to watch his highlights to see the way he opens up the ground and makes defenders panic.

 

[Darth_Tiger]

Very excited to see this bloke tear it up for us next year. 19 was more than we originally would have wanted to part with and less than the blues wanted so its probably a fair trade. Welcome Yaz!

 

[Nostradumbass]

He's at a big club now.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Thank god that's over.

Welcome to the Tigers, small roaming forward surely?

 

[tonemeister]

give him rioli's number

Cyril, Maurice or Dean?

 

[docko911]

Yarran up forward would make sense given the Morris failure and need for both goals and tackling pressure. Yaz is no slouch in the tackle departed averaging over 3 a game for his career despite playing predominantly outside roles.

 

[Nostradumbass]

cartoon are so shit to you have to kick 2 goals for it to count as 1 goal on your stats sheet.

Hampson? Caciea or whatever his name is

Yaz on the right flank, Houli on the left with Ellis + K Mac on either wing. Right now we're looking ok for leg speed. Just need a lighting small fwd

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

SOS you dog shit lmao

Can't stare down the invisible man blair

YAZ is a jet, you don't let jets go bro

 

[DustinsGuns]

I know it's early days, but does anyone know if they club or Yarran speculated whether he is likely to play up forward or down back?

 

[Black Saab]

off half back?

As the sub playing ruck...if there is a sub next season.

 

[juss]

Really hope we play him as the small forward we desperately need. Could kick 30-40 goals and set up a lot more playing that role.

 

[kozi]

Don't think so. I'd say mostly off half back pushing up through the middle and thrown forward occasionally.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Cyril, Maurice or Dean?

The greatest of them all....Why even ask?

DOOOXY

This is the absolute benefit of his versatility. At HB he can free up Houli if needed. Twice the number of potential match up head aches for opposition teams.
He can also play further up the ground if required too. Great get at 19 Tiges. Well done.
