Past Chris Yarran

[BluStreak]

I'm surprised barker isn't being blamed for Tuohy going backwards.

Wondering if having the other 2 irish boys over is impacting him.
Does he perceive himself as their role model and is trying to be something he is not?

I also wondering if he is carrying an injury like most of our team.

 

[Sublime]

I know.

But those bloody flog commentators tried to make out as if Yaz was being lazy. Bruce said something like 'that second effort was terrible'...they just kept going on & on saying 'this is what holds yarran back' blah blah blah.

Pretty sure they were referring to his tank. Not being able to run longer periods through the midfield which is true to an extent i spose.

Bruce had a go at him for his lack of second effort. And Harley jumped on board and dug the boots in.

My point was they didn't say he was stuffed because he was pivotal in our fight back. They made out as if he was stuffed because he is unfit.

Its not an entirely untrue observation.

Yarran's fitness is still a issue for him for sure but it's not through lack of trying.

this is what I meant.

They were acting as if he was back to his walking ways of last year.

there's a difference between being stuffed because you've been running your arse off & being stuffed because you're lazy and unfit.

 

[Sublime]

I agree there, his effort is 2000% higher than the same time last year.

 

[Silvagnis]

Bews did the right thing, yet Yarran still got it after nudging him under the ball. Swerve and he's away.

The AFL's best players to watch: Wingard, Motlop, Dangerfield

Floating across the turf, Motlop has the ability to score from any ridiculous angle. But what I find myself appreciating more than that is his ability to hit a target by foot when running at top pace.

I place Chris Yarran in the same boat. Running and bouncing off half-back in particular, effortlessly putting metres between him and those that gallantly give chase, he's always making it look so frustratingly easy.

Your club’s mid-season report card

THE IMPROVER

Chris Yarran has improved significantly. Despite playing up the ground more, his goal average hasn’t dropped while increasing his disposals from 11 to 17 per game and his metres gained from 273 to 397 per game.

[I bleed Blue]

By far the best user of the ball in the team (Gibbs close second).

Really stepping up this year. His tackling and defensive efforts have been good too. Need another one of him.

 

[BM123]

Doc and Yarran are the only half back flankers in our side worth mentioning nowadays.

 

[Mr_Plow]

This guy is a ****ing jet. So out of place in this team with the immaculate disposal, vision and composure.

 

[95blues]

Using his body really well in the contest this season.

 

[FRUMPY]

have loved his year, been very consistent and ball use tonight was top class. His defending has improved remarkably as well, he wants the contest now when in previous years he seemed to hesitate.

Doc and Yarran are the only half back flankers in our side worth mentioning nowadays.

Remember when we had too many GOOD flankers?

 

[HBF]

Imagine what he'll be like when he can build his tank and play through the midfield.
Has had a massive 2014 and is in line for a top 3 finish in the B&F.

 

[kreuze95]

Was an absolute joy to watch tonight, this guy could be anything

 

[thylacine60]

****ing midfield....

Malthouse: "Yarran has been a very good footballer for us all year. We'd love to clone him."

Malthouse: "We just want Chris to stabilise his consistency. Also, he needs to build belief. He can be a serious footballer."

 

[etsal1]

So many players to clone, so little time.

 

[Silvagnis]

Hughes should have picked Rich...

 

[T2B_]

Absolutely sublimely talented player.

He was already becoming a very good player under Ratts, but more for his obvious offensive powers. I never thought he'd develop this defensive side and level of concentration.

Exactly. We always knew how good Yazz could be with the ball, but I'm loving how good he is without the ball. Kept Elliott to 0 touches in the second before he was subbed in the third.

 

[HARKER]

Hughes should have picked Rich...

Lucas puts on 6kg of muscle and becomes a running brute.
Watson loses 5 kgs. and becomes the leagues leading third tall with the best boot in the comp.
Bootsma has finally got his head together, is rookied by us next year and is the revelation of 2015


Operation Get Hughes begins.............
