Chris Yarran [merged]

[(•))(©™]

I suppose we could always TRY Yarran in the ruck

We could try ... it's questionable whether he will.

Well, that's roght...

He will probably try for a few weeks and then taper off because he CBF'd anymore.

It's a talent.

X factor.

This forum needs a little positivity after weeks of relentless club bashing .

Hope this helps.

Gotta say, that's not a bad highlight reel.

boy are you going to cop it
 

I hope we do play him off half forward rather than half back

True, but Matty White has got a great highlight reel of streaming down the field and slotting goals on the run, and we got nothing for him.
 
Would be nice to have Yarran in the side but in no way is he a first rounder. His stint in the reserves makes him damaged goods. He has not lived up to his potential, the fact that he was picked at 6 means nothing, it was years ago and many players that were drafted after him have gone ahead of him. 
I think the whole Yarran thing is a bit of a distraction while they do us from behind on Lennon.

I'd rather we just walked away...Yarran will be bust at Richmond IMO.....one season wonder who's a bludger and a sook....unprofessional, not a defensive bone in his body, will be a liabilty ....especially if he's played down back....even up forward -with the combination of his & Vickery's defensive non- efforts we'll see sides just waltz back out of our attacking 50 with even more ease than they do now...

Agree on this.
People need to look closely at Yarrans career. even when hes had good games the following week he drops off the cliff. For a bloke who has been in the system so long the gap between his best and worst remains staggering.
Geez people complain about players who let us down in important games i can just see the angst whith Yarran. His inability to consistently stand up and get a bit of ball for himself when the heat is on is really poor.

You must be watching different games to me claw. I agree with you that this year he has not played good footy. Previously though he has been good. You must understand that he is not an inside player. He is a run and carry player. His role is to achieve high numbers of meters gained and to kick accurately once he has disposed of the ball. He does that well and is a weapon when up and going.
We need more run and he'll give us that. The question I have is whether the price we pay for this is just too high.

[Chuck17]

I really hate all the players that let us down in big games

[big tone]

Some people only remember the last season of most footballers, some had the same attitude towards Gartlett last trade period but reality is Gartlett is a very good small forward that Melbourne got for a steal. And IMO Yarran is the same, very very good player when his mind is right, and under Mick it wasn't. I'll be pumped when this trade hopefully goes through.

As for what he is worth, I hope we do get the deal done and keep our first pick but considering Conca and Ellis were both first round selections, it doesn't garrentee you of anything.
Yarran will be our best small forward we have had for some time IMO.

Get the deal done and move onto the next one and I'm not talking about some bloke that cannot get a game for his club, get players that is playing regular AFL footy. We don't need anymore maybes.

[Diocletian]

According to Gale we'll be playing him as forward but according to Richardson we'll be playing him as a rebounding defender....

[Andyy]

Personally I think we need more inside mids than outsides. This is an area we get smashed in. Not that a good outsider isn't worth picking up...

[Penelope]

According to Gale well be playing him as forward but according to Richardson we'll be playing him as a rebounding defender....

On one hand I'm hoping gale is correct, but it would be concerning that the CEO knows more about these things than the Football Manager

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

I just cant understand people saying no for a second rounder. If we get Chris Yarran at full potential he's worth a first round pick and then some. Just gotta get him right.

[Penelope]

it's only a small word, if, but it carries a lot of weight
