Analysis The Matt Taberner effect

[Freomaniac]

Glad we was good enough to make the AA 40 man squad. Sort of felt disappointed he didn't get in the best 22 in the all Australian team

 

[CapitalA]

I don't want to get carried away, but I think he might go on to break Pluggers record from here...

Should do if he just does Tom Brady and plays till he is 43.

Aaron Sandilands played until he was 37 didn't he?

Although I doubt he will, the All Australian team hasn't actually been announced yet mate. Gets announced tonight

He'll only needs to average a lazy ~85 goals/season until then...

 

[Pusswah]

Seriously read this and still can’t believe it. He has worked so hard and been so persistent despite being injured every freaking year.

I would like to give a shout out to whoever helped Tabs reduce his weekly work load, which has clearly helped him stay on the park!

That would be our strength and conditioning guys

 

[FreoRicci]

If only he kicked 3-5 more goals, automatic 22. Probably only going to be Ryan selected tonight

 

[FreoRicci]

Was never going to be considered. Dangerfield had his spot, and media darling Dusty the other. That’s the pathetic nature of AA selectors.
Happy Ryan made it. If Dangerfield makes it then Fyfe has more claim.

pfft, all in a days work for Tabs

we can’t be having anything nice said about S+C on this board

Matt Taberner - 29 goals
Tom J. Lynch - 28 goals

Yah but look 1 line lower
J.Riewoldt 28 goals probly took a few from each other.
Same for Kennedy and Darling.

Honestly Taberners goal kicking is not as big a problem as people make out. He's more accurate than most other key forwards. You just don't remember the misses from the opposition as much as you do your own players.

He definitely was a lot more prone to spraying the kick earlier in his career but he's come a long way, absolutely. No longer a liability in front of goals.

I honestly don't think there will be a messiah, and I really don't think we need one.

I honestly believe if he can stay fit, he'll kick 60 in a normal season. That's only provided he gets class delivery to him, and only then.

Believe so too. But that rests on Hogan and Lobb playing whole seasons. The better the forward chemistry, the more chances for Hogan and Tabs to kick multiple goals a game.

I bought the Slabenar jumper. Didn’t get the Tab on a crab in time, gutted.

 

[rgauci]

Just Tab in a crab for me. It’s getting a run this afternoon at my sons footy carnival.

Likewise, literally jumped on it as soon as it was advertised

 

[MadMundy]

Look forward to him having a 70 goal season next year and taking him the Coleman.

 

[Freomaniac]

If it's a 22 or 24 games season next year. Happy for him to kick 40.

If it's a 17 or a 20 game season next year, 30 goals is realistic

[Freomaniac]

had a poor game today. I expect him to play round 1 vs the demons at the MCG though.

 

[Lach72]

Poor is overly kind

guy did everything except drive around a small ring in a very small car, a red nose and a squeaking horn

 

[samFFC]

Yeah poor today. Not sure whether pre-season game against the Eagles with their rebounders/intercepters is a good guide but he will need to play far better.
