Next up is Tarrant.

In his first season as a Tiger, Robbie played 20 games which was his most in one season since 2019. He missed only 3 games between rounds 7-9 due to a lingering hip issue.

Started slowly due to injury and was very unfairly treated by supporters

Had an ENORMOUS second half of the year

7

I gave him a 7

Struggled early but I think that had more to do with learning our game style

Second half of the year was outstanding

And BTW playing with that broken hand = courage
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

Expected nothing from Robbie. Came from a struggling club with poor training standards needing to learn a new game plan with unfamiliar team mates.
His back half form was simply outstanding.
Well deserved 8 IMHO

That clash in the Cats goal square that stopped a certain goal was the moment for me. Richmond man right there.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Was gonna give 7 but reduced it to 5 for not marking Daniher in the final not standing goal side and not even standing on his left side  :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm
The club that keeps giving.

7 for me. Started worse than I expected but ended better than I expected. Stood up when we had key injuries.

Hope 2023 is a good year for him and the rest of the team. Seems like a great bloke and courageous.

At 33 showed that he was easily our best big KPD. and people don't want to continue to prioritise Gibcus.
