Rory Taggert - Wow

Featured Replies

Pardon my ignorance but what does EFA stand for?

Edited For Accuracy.

You use it when you tamper with a person's quote (usually in a true but funny sort of way). If you see it check the quote against the original post for the change.

 

Are you sure you (OP) aren't confusing Taggert and Tynan? Taggert ain't huge by any means and I wouldn't know him if I bumped into him wearing his MFC jumper and whatever his number is was on it.

Tynan though is a fairly ripped unit.

 

Nevertheless Taggerts game at Box Hill was exceptional, if he can build on that he'll be appearing in the seniors in the first half

of the season...


This thread is complete rubbish.

I saw Taggert at training on Monday and was a bit disappointed with his size.

I guess some people are just easily impressed...

Agree saw him the previous week at training and commented here that while solid enough in the legs, he looked a little light on in the bicep, and upper body generally... Reasonable height for a mid though.

Like you with Wines and O'rourke? Or was it Watson and Pendles?

....but how did his compare with Kangaroos Gysberts & Daw's which have been in the news lately?
 

I too wouldn't be surprised if the OP is getting confused with Tynan. That lad is going to be huge.

Had a good look at Tynan yesterday> He never stopped talking to Hogan during their drills with Evans.They seem like mates already.

Josh has a good developing upperbody but has sticks for legs at this stage. Hogan oozed confidence with a slightly bow legged swagger that some might say borders on cockiness. A combination of Allen Jackovich and Ross Dillon I hope. Or a current day Jonathon Brown.

Could be really good this kid.

You're obviously not that sharp Steve, since they are the comparisons being made by recruiters, not me.

We'll leave it there.

That was the killer for me.

Loved it.

He walked around like he owned the grass they were training on.

I'm already looking forward to Hogan playing after a year in the system more than Viney. Hogan will be very imposing once that muscle has a bit of definition to it. Bit like Patton I guess.

Gee we're looking at having some real tough youngsters coming through.

This kid is highly rated. it was mentioned somewhere that they expect with a full preseason he will be in our best 22 for round 1.

Can't wait to get a look at Taggert...I've only heard good things.

Tynan on the other hand, like others have mentioned already, looks like he has bulked up a considerable amount since he was drafted. I think he'll be a gun, and a bargain for pick #52.

Look at the size of those arms for a 19 year old:

Ok so Rory Taggert walked past me in the shops yesterday and when I say the kid is HUGE I mean HUGE.

He is a monster, I actually never realised this, and it was the first time seeing him. Has he be living in the gym all year?

Is he going to play Mid or is that the plan?

For those who havent seen him, he is just so built like a horse.

To be honest, I havent seen him play yet has any one??

u sure it woz im

The only guy with Big arms is Chip -the rest are ok .

Big Arms gets you a player like Chris Tarrant-Mitch Clarks [censored].

What we need is Big Arses and big thighs like Ablett.

Rodan looks fit and ready .

Byrnes looks like he is unfit-must be from a failed culture .

Tynan is built but desperately needs about two yards of pace to really make it.

Can't wait to see Taggert in action.

Not a Cook in sight McQueen!

Taggert's a real mystery, but I hope he gets some games next year. It's good to know he's big. But I reckon players look far more muscular in person or when up close. I remember seeing Jack Watts before his first game, and thought he actually looked muscular and in a really good shape. And I'm always surprised when I give Mckenzie or someone a pat after the game to see he's actually quite big.

Whilst it's positive to have great Warwick Farms and big lemon and Sarse(s), it's more important to find the pill and distribute it effectively and skillfully as well as hold tackles.

Could we please refrain from poor language in future, otherwise editing, deleting and warnings will become apparent.

I think Tynan will be a great half-back rebound defender. I think our half back flanks have heaps of depth right now and its great. If anyone ever watches Tynan's junior highlights he is a great intecepter of the ball and has the courage to hold the line well and move backwards into marking contests.

Taggart on the other hand i am a bit skeptical about, aside from his injury concerns I have heard from multiple people who have seen him play live that he can be quite sloppy at times. Not in terms of ball disposal but more in terms of how he goes about getting his possessions, similar to Sylvia in a sense.

The MFC website has Tynan at 76kg but everybody seems to be saying that he has a phsical presence. Does the MFC regularly update the data on the player profiles? I think not! It seems that they want to have record members but are not prepared to do simple things like keep their site up-to-date!

The site has been updated with new players - just not updated pictures / height / weight

They're probably waiting for everyone to be back at training before photos / height / weight etc.

Could be worse, Essendon don't even have their star recruit - Goddard - on the playing list

I think most, if not all, the club sites are run through Telstra. They don't get quickly updated stats and info, and it probably won't get updated until once all the drafts are done and lists complete.

On Taggert, I'm hoping he comes on and adds to our midfield depth, as our midfield is still awful and we need as many options as possible.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
