If he was up for trade at the seasons end, would you like to see him in Tigers colours?

With Richo leading wide and deep on one flank and Tarrant doing the same on the other, we might as well be playing footy in the stands.
Collingwood will not get rid of a potential marque player especially with Buckley, Burns and Rocca in their twilight. Too many people at the club will be looking at the Fevola resurrection and be thinking same.
Everything that will happen between now and the end of trade period (including dummy bait offers) will be designed to scare the crap out of Tarrant.

It would depend on the price. If he was cheap enough then by all means. But collingwood will probaly want over market value.
Leave him at Collingwood where he fits in nicely. We don't need him. If he was KP defender we might think about it. Whoever gets him will probably find that he is as much value as Ottens is for Girlong.

NO, absolutely NOT, would come at a huge price and simply would not resolve the problems that we have in competing with top 4 sides
Put bluntly, we didn't cut it with the top 4 coz One, we couldnt get first hands on the pill and Two, we couldn't stop power forwards...How Tarrant or Aker for that matter could help fill those two gaps f$%# knows

No.
He's not as good as his reputation. In many ways a Richo clone. Lots of contested marks, leads to flanks, suspect kicking for goal, head not screwed on.
We don't need another turbo-charged giant flanker.
If he was a genuine leading forward in the Nietz/B Hall mould i'd be interested. I don't see Tarrant offering us anything except for a bit of publicity, and even then, half of it would be bad.

Between tarrant and Richo they would score probably 2.10 between them each week. No!

all due respects tiger dan , he's hundereds of goals behind richo and still will be once he hangs the ol boots up...give richo some credit he has more G & D in his little toe than a lazy bum like tarrant would ever hope to have

I mean style of player. Richo has a surprisingly good record when you consider how much angst he has caused tiger fans over the years.
But Tarrant is the same style player as Richo (IMHO) and I don't think we need that.
tigerdan said:
not so sure about that...how many contested marks would tarrant take apart from the odd hanger...I think Pettifer would be closer to Tarrant than richo
Stay away from tarrant, the guy is a complete ****er and a dud.Whats worse is that you have to pay over the odds for him.I just hope choco stays away from any collingwood hacks

Pretty sure that one or two years ago Tarrant was number 1 in contested marks in the league, I will try to google it.
A whole pack of mental cases putting themselves out there for trade this year. I hope we stay away from the lot of them. Let us develop our own mental f***-ups.
Agreed. We need strong ballwinners in the guts and a big man in the backline, not more forward flankers.Bojangles17 said:NO, absolutely NOT, would come at a huge price and simply would not resolve the problems that we have in competing with top 4 sides

he could be good but its a moot point as collingwood would probly want lids and our first round pick for him.

Fev > Tarrant
We weren`t willing to pay the price for Fevola which for mine would make us even less inclined to do so for that lush .
I know it is just raising footy conversation but with all due respect this conversation is a waste of all our breaths
