How did we all rate Taranto's first year as a Tiger?

[WilliamPowell]

Gave him a 10

Hope that's OK?

[Damo]

Gave him a 10

Hope that's OK?

Clearly a whack at me WP

Giving a bloke a 10 that actually gets a game in our best 22 is a start

I gave him 9 , and it will be the highest I’ll give anyone on the list for the year

Tried his heart out .. disposal is frogpoo , but everything else was sensational ..

[lamington]

I gave him a 10. Delivered on what we gave for him and more. Awesome athlete offensively and defensively.

And once we got the midfield mix a bit better actually started kicking goals. I think if we build a better game plan (aka set up our forward like better for Taranto’s i50 kicks) he could seriously win the Brownlow

I gave him a 10 because he made a South Australian shock jock look ridiculous.

Fix these and he is a MASSIVE chance of a Brownlow

[Willy]

Yep, his disposal is sloppy no doubt. However he does everything else very well.

Gave him an 8.

I forgot to put in one of these

 

[Andyy]

Gave 8 because he wasn't very damaging at the start of the year, then he faded a bit late in the season.

Excellent year in general though, maybe I was a little harsh and could have given him 9.
