Player Watch #14 Tim Taranto.

Yze is just going to have to turn this group of young cubs into elite talent. We need finals and flags within 2 and 3 years, respectively.

If everything goes to plan he will still be playing good footy by the time we're back contending and he'll have a bucketload of young guns around him.

Serviceable for player cost us 2 first rounds is underwhelming I'll cut my loses.

B and f last year? Short term memory loss? Who were the players selected in those draft positions

 

[Charlie Pannam]

I’d keep Taranto, not fussed about Hopper.
Hoppers longevity worries me.
Having said that next year is probably not the best timing to be moving on big bodied mids. We’re likely to have 4-5 mids under 20 ( plus anyone we draft in 25) and nothing else apart from Hopper and Taranto to provide support

Could not stand him this year and on current form would happily trade him. Has become everything I despise in a player, from only having one gear to kicking the ball off the ground and around corners rather than finding the open team mate. Statistically he measures up to everyone but his impact was putrid for a player with his talent.

Kane Cornes got one thing right - Turn over Tim he calls him. Not sure clubs will be queuing up for him.

 

[Wavvey]

Should be splitting time between half forward and midfield going forward

That my nic for him, he is much better forward of the centre.

His one wood is he is very competitive and shows up to every contest.....
But the rest of his gold bag is pretty bare, missing quit a few clubs.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Hopefully he improves his composure and kicking. He showed signs in his second year before getting injured. If he wants to be a good leader he doesn’t want to be another Kane Johnson lol

 

[Juke]

I don't get the sense that Taranto isn't committed to the club and he's probably been sold that he'll be around for the next contending period. His value to us as a leader and big body to protect our kids at minimum is more than we would receive in a trade at this point.
