Not trying to single you out Mark but I'm really sick of reading comments like this. People have talked about Tarrant's goal kicking this year as if he is Travis Cloke. Taz is generally an excellent kick for goal, he just went through a period of about 6-8 weeks at the end of the year where he lost confidence in his kicking. Incidentally, the same thing happened to Black but I don't see anyone else expressing concern about him.Has enough games under his belt now that he the nervy kicking needs to go & go soon.

Yeah Cloke, like Buddy, is a much better forward than Taz but Taz's goal kicking shits on theirsVery fair point on kicking JayZ, been way too harsh (and coming from me...).
ps: the player comparisons ends there, but not relevant to correct point you made.

Go back and look at some of the passages of attacking play he stuffed up in 2013. I thought he was improving when he showed a bit more steel in the latter parts of 2012, but some of his skills and/or decision making with the ball hurt us. I held out more hope for Super Gav than I do now for LA.Anthony could play a role if injuries hit us hard.
He could be a run with player or sub if required.
Much of his career? He spent most of his games pre-2012 in the back lineNot really the case. He's had issues in this area for much of his career. The 2012 season was an exception.

Yeah, look ill be honest & just say that the only games I've watched on Foxtel this summer have been ones from the last 2 months of the season.Not trying to single you out Mark but I'm really sick of reading comments like this.

Cloke is over-rated by a lot of people in the football world.Taz looks very impressive when he hits them right - kicks 50 like its a walk in the park.
Just doesn't always do it enough though Jay-Z, if not providing elsewhere (knowing my other concerns)
ps: Still totally agree he is unfairly maligned kicking wise against Cloke etc who kick same or worse, no probs there.
Note to Robbie Tarrant: If you love to be the centre of attention, whether good or bad, this is the place for you...but if you are a sensitive lad best keep your distance from BF.
Thread on best 22, ends up as thread on Taz
Thread on idiot jour no and LA stepping up, ends up as thread on Taz
Just waiting for the Obscure Item thread to focus on Taz.
Like all roads leading to Rome, we have all threads leading to Taz. Pray he doesn't cop an injury before round 1. This torture will go on forever.
He kicked 1.1 in 2011, 23.16 in 2012 and 13.3 in his first six games of 2013. The 7 game run at the end of 2013 yielded 3.12 but that is certainly not indicative of much of his career. He got the yips and need to sort that shit out but for the majority of his short career to date he has been a pretty good shot for goal.Not really the case.

If only there was someone he could look to, for inspiration.He kicked 1.1 in 2011, 23.16 in 2012 and 13.3 in his first six games of 2013.

The thread is called 'players more likely to step up than Liam Anthony'
Of our list, for the purpose of this particular article, I would use Tarrant.
Has enough games under his belt now that he the nervy kicking needs to go & go soon. He's good such a good body shape & can clunk them when he's on but he really needs to take some big steps this year because there are people right behind him awaiting their chance.
As mentioned before, all spots on the field are going to be fought for & free rides should be a thing of the past.
Granted it will be a bit harder for him with not being fully fit for another pre-season but if he plays round 1 he would want to perform, especially if someone like Wood goes alright in the NAB games.
I want Taz to succeed but his time is now. Needs a big first four rounds or he will find himself back in the B's.

Or he has had one rough patch. You choose how you want to look at it.
