Doesn't say who, but would be happy for him.

Melbourne wouldn't if they get Membrey?
Reunite with Ross at the Saints?

I suppose in a world where the Roo's want to pay Darling 800k next year and give another year on top, Tabs is an OK option.

Seriously, why did no one go remotely after Voss...

Maybe he told them to get stuffed after they all had a chance while he was over there?

Strange.
He’s 21, raw, has a knack to go in hard in the packs. Fits perfectly with Amiss, Treacy and Jackson’s age profile.
Kicked 2 v Port, having kicked 2 v GWS a week before. He’s handy.

He has also been solid for Peel kicking bags of 4 and 5 here and there.

Essendon gave Weideman a chance, who’s been absolutely awful. Maybe Voss didn’t train well?

Because Voss has already been at 2 clubs & didn't make it.

 

[Quazar2]

Would be hilarious if the Dons were having a look

Collingwood are looking for tall forwards. Be a good fit, they love their 30s or over!

 

[Taylor]

Interesting quirk, Tabs is an unrestricted free agent until after list lodgement, then he is a delisted free agent. Amounts to the same thing, a club can take him for cash only at trade period and unless that contract is stupidly high we won't see anything coming back our way.

Wasn't he only ever on Essendon's list?

 

[Swiggy]

Wasn't he only ever on Essendon's list?

Was in GWS Academy

 

[Paracleet]

Surely its Tabs agent feeding this nonsense to the West on the off chance it gets someones attention and they start to consider it...

 

[Purpletown]

Sydney are crying out for a generational forward. McDonald, Amartey and McClean are all b-graders.

Sydney's mids paper over a lot of their key forwards shortcomings. Papley is a very good small forward too.

Not really. I've held the view for years that Melbourne should be interested. He's not the answer to their problems, but he helps fill a gap. Essendon too. Pretty handy depth at worst. If Collingwood lose Kreuger and Johnson, again, cheap and handy depth.

Enter Matthew Taberner

 

[Superkoops]

I think we'd be unlikely to delist a guy with a 2 years on his contract

I agree. We either trade him off on the cheap or he stays. We have delisted players and reselected them as rookie with 1 year on contract but not with 2 years. That may be the go next year if he is still around.

McDonald having been a delisted FA and having free agency for life status already would be candidate no. 1. Emmett out of contract (bit of a risk and would give him a free agency status for life) also an option. Corbett is surely a likely delisting but him down at Peel would be handy. Not as demanding on his hip either. He can then stay involved with the women’s AFL team.

 

[Outshined]

Essendon will 100% take him if they've only ever watched his games against them.

What clubs were named?

Delisted Fremantle forward Matt Taberner garnering interest from several AFL clubs​

The West Australian
Thu, 12 September 2024

Mitchell Woodcock
Matt Taberner’s AFL career may not be over with several clubs interested in throwing the delisted Fremantle forward a football lifeline.
The West Australian understands several clubs have enquired about Taberner who was cut by the Dockers on Wednesday after 12 years at the club.
Taberner, 31, was one of four players cut by the Dockers this week but is a chance to get find a new home in 2024 with several eastern states’ clubs seeking ready-made forwards.
The Victorian product carved out a strong career at the harbour club, booting 173 goals in 125 games after being picked up as a rookie in 2012.
Taberner kicked a career-high 37 goals in 16 games in 2021 and booted a career-best seven against Essendon in round five of 2022.
He was also named in the 40-man All-Australian squad in 2020 after kicking 29 goals in 16 games in the COVID-shortened season to finish fifth in the Coleman Medal.
The spearhead has only played nine games in the past two seasons including just five this year because of injury and the emergence of young forwards Jye Amiss and Josh Treacy.
Taberner will finish the year at Peel Thunder having kicked 27 goals in 13 games this season.
“Matthew has been a highly regarded member of our playing group for over 10 years now,” Fremantle football boss Joe Brierty said on Wednesday.
“Having been recruited as a rookie prior to the 2013 season, it is undeniable that ‘Tabs’ gave everything he could in his time at the Club. He leaves the Club as a two-time leading goalkicker and a Beacon Award winner.”
“The leadership he has shown at Peel this year and his investment in his teammates will be remembered. It has been so pleasing in 2024 to see him having the impact that he has had on our developing key forwards in particular.
“We can’t thank him enough for his contribution and wish him all the best with his future.”

Remember that he isn't that old by Victorian standards. They have the massive advantage of players continuing to play well into their 30's, something that is very rare for WA clubs. Take the travel out of the equation and maybe Taberner's back will hold up better.

Not sure anyone would be signing him to be best 22, but he'd be useful depth. Collingwood for example only have Mihocek (undersized and older than Tabs), Kreuger (useless ... delist material?) and McStay.

I don't think Carlton would be interested, but we saw what happened with a couple of injuries and they had to play a 192cm Kemp as a makeshift KPF.

He had been in talks over east from early in the year

I can see his late season form at peel renewing interest

He's going at 3 a game for the last 10 games and realistically could've been more

 

[dont bowl there]

Good luck to Tabs, but I will be pretty happy if he's named against us next year. He is absolutely cooked.

How can he be going at 3 goals a game the last 10 games if he’s kicked 27 from 13 this year?

 

[freo_leo29]

Maybe last 8 games then

Ill check

 

[Dockeroo]

This kind of thing always irks me. Why are we not taking the same line on Bolton that Carlton has with Houston?


Get duff and Rhino to say “it is understood Fremantle are only willing to part with one first round pick for wantaway tigers forward Shai Bolton

, who has requested a trade to WA for family reasons”

These big Vic clubs are specialists at this shite.

Both Houston and Bolton are 4 years contracted yet Carlton think he can he got for a packet of chips.

Geelong are the same with other trades.

Because whatever the stance is on the deal, it's already been largely agreed to.

We don't need to play it out in the media.

 

[freo_leo29]

2.75 from his last 8 games

22 in the last 8

Should've been more too, been uncharacteristically innacurate and has played in a couple of swamps in that time

And Houston won't need salary taken by Port since they'll find him at $250k a year zero contact hour role elsewhere.

That doesn’t happen anymore it’s 2024 not 2004
