Player Watch #14 Tim Taranto.

D rioli

Hence why I said I'd argue that Taranto would be leading our BnF. Would be close between him and Rioli.

I'm more worried that Prestia has been putrid

 

[Dr Tigris]

The introduction of TT and Hopper seems to have disrupted our dynamics a bit. it should clean up as the season progresses.

At least we are winning ball and getting it forward. It's learning to play with that happening that has to happen now.

Was always going to change the dynamic in the midfield but some think it will just click immediately like magic. Doesn’t work that way. Will improve as the season goes on, just hoping it’s fairly soon but if not, we will end up better for it. We need to transition away from Dusty, Cotch and Dion being our prime onballer, and Taranto and Hopper are completely different types.

Agree.

We have the players to return to having atop midfield. Btu it's the gelling of them that matters now. Hope it all starts to click soon

He hasn't even been playing as bad as people are going on about he has just about been our best player this year.
He hasn't been perfect but who has been for us so far this season?
Prestia has been worse & I'd say Hopper has had his moments but not as consistent.

I wouldn't mind seeing Martin & Bolton in there more v Swans.

is 15th. Not 15th in the AFL, 15th at Richmond!

Perhaps the Failed Fireman needs a timely reminder that there are rules about telling porkies on-air? Anyone feel like making a formal complaint?

Is he deliberately lying because he thinks his audience are too ignorant to know how horribly mistaken he is, or does he just lack the intellectual capacity to read a simple chart?





Campaigner Data has him ranked 2nd only to Nank, averaging a higher output than last year.

And FWIW, he's ranked 26th overall in a league with 18 teams...ironically, right alongside a bunch of players who have been praised and lauded for their form this year and never attacked in the media.

Partly because they're quite obviously stars of the game who are in good form, but mostly because they don't wear Richmond jumpers.





Welcome to Tigerland, TT - if there's nothing real to attack us about, they'll just make it up.

Get used to it mate and get used to sticking it up 'em.

Thats fantasy football, not the official player ratings (which are a load of shit anyway)

It's from Champion Data?

Do they also create an entirely separate 'Official Player Rating' list - which has nothing to do with the score rankings they hand out each game?

chimp data dont know anything about afl anyway

Hard to put a finger on that , you’d think he’d benefit not being really targeted as our key mid

They still rate every game individually too, it's just harder to find now for some reason. TT is rated 15th in our side in that metric but as I said it's garbage. For instance Ralphmsith, Clarke and Miller are all rated higher than Tim. You can find the ratings here if you filter the team and sort by player rating

It's a mystery to me how the same organisation can rank a player highly in a supposedly comprehensive contextual examination of every single act they perform in a game, yet lowly on some other measure of worth which apparently weights everything from the same game entirely differently.

They clearly are garbage when Kornes could apparently just as easily use them to argue Reiwoldt is having a better season than Rioli.

Yep they're garbage. They rated Jack Riewoldt best on ground V Carlton. I think that says enough.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

i know this guy isn't our main issue but he fumbles, is slow, is not damaging, cant kick, on a 7 year deal its just alarm bells for me

He sucks. Plain and simple. Hopper has shown way more. Can keep his head at least. Taranto literally cannot kick

Hopper has more composure. I am liking him more
