We don't need Tarryn 👍
Couldn't help thinking of him last night.

A 24yo, 189cm classy and skillful, tough, agile mid-forward who can mark strongly overhead too. Knows who to find the pill too.

If he didn't have his "issues" we're talking an on-ball/forward rotation in a couple of years that can mix n' match Zurhaar, Duursma, Thomas, LDU, Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher, Simpkin, Curtis as it pleases.

Damn Tarryn and his decisions.
 



Luke Davies-Uniacke (North Melbourne)


“What an amazing performance,” Buckley said.

“‘LDU’ had 33 and kicked three goals, more importantly. Midfielders that get touches, win clearances, hard balls and stick tackles, that’s great.

“If you can get forward, break the lines and hit the scoreboard, you elevate yourself.

“That was great to see him frank his excellent form and hit the scoreboard.”

Yze said post match that he thought LDU was the difference

I actually said to my young bloke 20 minutes in that it was LDU's game, if Richmond can't shut him down they couldn't win the game.
It was clear early that he was a class above everybody on the ground.

For every Adrian McAdams, there's an Glenn Archer.

It's a strange way the universe works, but I guess that's life. Sometimes a highly rated player disappoints or becomes a what-if, and an unknown lowly rated player somehow overcomes the impossible to become a legend.

You aren’t alone there though :(
 
My guess is LDU couldn't judge the wind well enough to have a ping.

Our 'fortress' is now making our best player less effective.

Thank god we are not going there too often after this year.

It would be good if we play more at marvel and eventually at the mcg
