Robbie Tarrant

Vlaustin would never be displaced by Tarrant

Could we do the double and get Ziebell? Forget this backline experiment the Roos had him doing. Stick him in the guts.

I would also like us (pending physical) to go after Talia.

Tarrant can play, although prone to sillu decision making at times but a good player, player vs player i see him as an upgrade on Dave.

Given our last 3 years of injuries it really does take a club to win flags, as most have agreed with we are light after Dave retiring and if we can get 15-20 + finalsm games out of a talie/tarrant combo we would be covered in Defence.

Mid is the area we really need Dow, Ross & RCD to come on, even with our great draft hand without grabbing a a good one in offseason we will be light on for a tilt as Dion/Cotch/Edwards etc are also 10-20 + finals propositions and as we saw this year we just didnt have the depth to cover such great players out all at one time, we need to bolster Mids urgently to push again.

Forwards i think we need a teague or a different forwards coach, we have enough firepower IMO, lets hope they can sort these two things out and i think we are well placed to contend again.

I'm not sure to pursure Talia it's either one for me don't need both.

Agree on the forward line needs a revamp was bad this year especially small forwards need sorting out big time.

He did make a desperate plea for Dusty to come play with him in 2017, maybe he can come here to play with Dusty

I am, but offering a 32 year old 2 years,

is way more than twice as bad as offering a 30 yo a 2 yr deal.

Not saying its a disaster, or that Robbie might not get a premiership medal,

but if im being honest,

It rocks my confidence in the recent adage,

that everything the rfc does, is the right thing to do.

to be honest, Robbie Tarrant is one of those players that ive never ever noticed play.

He was the 2nd best key defender in the comp from 2016 - 2019 after Rance

No problem at all mate, i just think with the depth it would help at little cost to TPP and would be free trade wise, i do think we as each club will have injuries and rather than Miller if were pushing for a flag id rather that combo to play the 22 + finals.

 

[kiwitiger]

if we can snag one more premiership,and throw everything at that , I think most of us would accept a painful bottoming out down the track

why not , let’s have a crack

With our draft hand and the young players we have i dont think we need to bottom out, this draft is super imprtant obviously.

I hope North and Richmond work together to get the best outcome for both sides in the CJ/Tarrant deals taking into account draft picks and FA compensation.

Interestingly it looks like we might have had an interest in Tarrant for quite a while if you read the article below from 2 July 21.

Especially the line - NORTH Melbourne coach David Noble expects veteran Robbie Tarrant to retire a one-club player despite expected interest in the key defender from premiership contenders.

Two-club Tarrant? Not on Noble's watch

That didn’t age well.

Always been my favourite non tiger.....

I would have to say, if we take Tarrant, no way we go after Talia as well.

Tarrant can also help Miller develop.

I figure this must be the end for Garthwaite as he would just be taking a list spot now.

Tarrant is a done deal, 2 years.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Honestly not sure how I feel about this.
Great player at his best but a couple of years older than the guy who just retired.
Fingers crossed it works out.

 

[French Tiger]

Happy with this. Will cost us bugger all to get him, will help us stay in the hunt for another year or so & won't affect our future due to still having a great hand at the draft.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Wouldn't be surprised if Richmond planned it a year out.

I think we assumed DTLD wasn’t going to retire

Cmon Tooheys , it makes Norf weaker and that is a bloody good thing

Dave told the club and leadership group mid year.
They were trying to talk him out of it.
Only announced it to the rest of his team mates when it became public.

Everything isn’t equal with regards to age. A 36 year old polled 20 Brownlow votes last night…

True there are always exceptions. The odds say that Tarrant's best footy isn't in front of him however.
