Why no Tarrant rumours?

Featured Replies

Why is it that Green retires and there are immediate rumours regarding GWS, yet Tarrant, who still looks in pretty good nick, isn't rumoured as a possible signing?

I think GWS would benefit from a strong, experienced player that can play forward AND back.

Plus I'd love to see how quickly Eddie changes his opinion about how good a bloke Tarrant is if it happened.

 

Tarrant would love to end his career with a flag. And he's hoping to hell it ends that way. What a great send off that would be to end your playing days. He's playing for a top 4 team, probably on decent coin. Has already tried the interstate club swap, went back to where he started.

Green plays for a cellar dweller bunch with little hope of rapid climb. If he can't get success, he might as well chase the dollars. May get an assistant coaching gig, like Junior. Green's more of a planner than Taz, wants to coach, apparently.

He's getting old man injuries that take longer to recover from, if he was gunna play on, he'd do another year at the Pies.

As I understand it Tarrant came back to Collingwood on a much lesser contract than he was on at Freo and less than his market worth. Apprently he was keen to end his career at Collingwood. I won't be at all surprised however if that is it for him and he ends up on their coaching staff next year or in some other capacity working for the CFC. Nudge! Nudge! Wink! Wink! hey Eddie

and what finish out his contract!!


And why pray tell do we actually care on this site?

I would actually prefer Tarrant to Cloke. 90% cheaper, could provide a solid player for 1 yr and give us time to develop Davis and Tommy Mac further.

Adding a player to the list who wont be around for a finals campaign seems detrimental.

He's retired

Is that why the Pies are edging him out?

Compensation?


Taz has been injured all year, struggling.

GWS would be looking at Green as a better option I'd say.

I agree with most with Taz ahead of Choke.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
