Robbie Tarrant - Welcome to the Jungle

Grimes has been a huge loss.
No doubt he’s a loss.
But when there’s no pressure on the ball carrier further up the ground and balls are flying in like it’s Saturday night at a Turkish bath house, even the great Alex Rance couldn’t help us.

Tarrant looks like he's a yard short on pace to be effective. Giving away a fair bit to the Dees. Looks to me like he's done already. Hope he's still building fitness, because signs aren't good.

That last effort just cost a goal - ran straight over the ball.
Balta back, use Jack as second ruck. Drop him. Prefer Miller
 
Tarrant is showing his age. The knowledge is there but the body is shot. Would rather see Miller there for all his deficiencies as he has time to learn AFL and could surprise us

Was really looking forward to a couple of good years of Tarrant - but to date it’s been a huge disappointment
Maybe we need Grimes back to see Tarrant play his expected role.

Agree. He’s ok if there is time to fill a hole and the ball has some height on it, but otherwise one on one and when the ball hits the ground, he is incredibly slow and lacks spring.

He looks done to me.

Thought he was on Wiederman more but may have been mistaken. Much harder to watch on TV. Only got back from the UK at 5pm so decided not to chance getting to the G on time today :)
they probably switched around at times, but definitely a number of contests gibcus was on sideshow bob - unsure if matchup or just how the positions lined up as ball came in

tarrant looks way too slow these days for most current forwards, turning circle/speed is like a houseboat, and cant remember him getting too far off the ground. not really sure what the point is long term. i got it at the time if we could snag a chance to contend. but might as well give miller a go
 
Thought we would get one good year out of him.
No

Tarrant sure loves a double grabber. Sometimes he even surprises me with a triple grabber where he drops it completely which is fun
