Bloody hell. I’d take several ceilings lower than Taranto and be satisfied.
Never really rated Taranto as high as the general footy world seems to tbh. He’s a pick 2 which means he’s always been highly rated but IMO he’s just a good solid player rather than a genuine match winner like most other players traded for around his value.
He barely played Afl this year and when he did play late in the season his skills were very good. His set-ups of play by hand, especially, were terrific.His skills have not improved a tonne.
He was beyond horrendous at AFL level in this year.
Some people need to understand that slow inside midst with poor skills quite often dominate the lower leagues but struggle to crack it at AFL.
I really hope Erasmus makes it. But the idea that he is some key to us improving is just being silly imo. He's sooooo far behind Johnson, and Johnson isn't even a key to us improving.
We have 3 key forwards who are all under 22.
We have rising star Draper.
Potential of Bolton coming in, a top 5 small forward in our biggest position of need.
Like the list goes on of things that will be massive to our improvement.
Erasmus reaching Toranto or even Hopper level is unlikely. And those two would hardly be a key to us improving.
You are going to force the poster to actually watch him play, so stop it.What do mean by pressure skills? He has a huge number of pressure acts in a games and he led Peel in tackles per game in 2024 at around 6 a game. I would describe his pressure skills as elite for a player yet to turn 21.

Even at AFL level I don't think that's true. Against Essendon in particular he hit some nice passes. In the other games where he was up fwd not so much, but I just don't think he's particularly comfortable there, and has probably gotten too used to playing midfield. At WAFL level in particular the difference throughout the season is very noticeable.His skills have not improved a tonne.

I'm not sure if i should write him off or be optimistic
At least you no what your getting.
