Whatever they have produced so far is only going to get better. They have had to learn a gameplan which is very different to the GWS one and it also takes time to be instinctive about the running patterns and positioning of your teammates.
I like Tarranto and Hopper is winning the ball tight in packs.
I was an embryo in 2007
It’s the chemistry with teammates that will improve immeasurably, we’d have a much worse problem if they were both trending at career worst numbers , both are peaking , we need to get smarter and capitalize with thee guys getting their hands in the pill
Don’t rewrite history Zips.
We sort of did give him away,we offered him a short term contract on reduced money,and the Suns offered him a long term contract on decent money.
We couldn’t afford to match the terms of the GCS offer at the time. We also believed that based on previous free agency draft compensation for similar deals, we would be given an end of first round compensation pick in return. The AFL decided otherwise.
Want do we want?
yes, I wonder who we wouldn't have on our list now if we had matched a 5 x $650k deal ?
Yep and he was a restricted free agent, so was being paid in the top 25% of players at our club. Solid player and a great contributor to 2 premierships, but he was lucky we were crap when he got that contract extension that took him to free agency, because by 2019 there was no way he’d have been one of our better paid players!
I thought he was the best mid on the ground tonight. Had the most disposals, contested possessions, score involvements, tackles, pressure acts for the game, as well as equal most clearances and centre clearances. Couldn’t have done much more
