Why no Tarrant rumours?

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 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.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
