Settle down & have some faith.....he might yet give us a 3rd good season...it will only be his 8th year.....

Need to recruit the better Yarran, Shane....Starred in the WAFL GF with 5 goals with pick 52.
Would solve our small forward problem. Even at 26 and 2 years in jail he is one of the most talented footballers going around.
Maybe it will be step aside Krakouer brothers, here come the Yarran cousins.... :shh
You know i have watched him a dozen times  or so. At times he has looked great other times hes been pretty poor.He would be worth a punt imo. I think in a AFL environment he would improve.
I think we could pick him up as a rookie though. We only have pick 12 and then 52 is next. I am hoping a kid like Oleg Markov would be there at 52.
Unless we cut more players we only have the scope to bring in three players to the list proper and one rookie.
If we dont delist anymore players,   we  likely wont going by the way they talk.  Then we will only use 12 and 52 in the nd and most likely take a delisted player  leaving one rookie pick or  if we promote a rookie  making it two rookie spots available..

Settle down & have some faith.....he might yet give us a 3rd good season...it will only be his 8th year.....
Yep it is likely to happen as it does with most players at new clubs. But what happens after next year is what i will be interested to see.

He ain't anywhere near the top 22-25 until he proves himself.

you mean just like Lids. Cotch, Sheds...etc have proven to be finals specialists....oh yeah i see what you mean :huh :huh
True, but is he in front of say, Batchelor? Or Conca?

With respect to skill, Yarran would be in the top 6 at the club. When it comes to courage he's probably in the bottom 6. If he can improve even a little in that area, he'll be an excellent acquisition.  If he doesn't,  he'll be an OER whipping boy! ;D
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Would want to play 18+ games, average 20+ possies and be in the B&F top ten as a 25 y.o half back without a direct opponent.

People wanted X-factor, and here it is. Now stop complaining

Speak for yourself.

I am content with grigg

Who's ahead of him regarding those 12 players? After our top 7 or 8, it gets very thin very fast.

We can rate Lennon/C Ellis as prospects all we like but Yarran atm is far superior.

Here's 11 and I didn't even consider Lennon, ellis C or McIntosh

1.   Rance
2.   Lids
3.   Martin
4.   Jack
5.   Cotchin
6.   Maric
7.   Edwards
8.   Miles
9.   Vlastuin
10.   Grimes
11.   Houli
Houli  :lol not even close

Both soft
Both outside
Both look good when things flying
Both go misin when thing get tough

Pretty good comparison I thought

At times we hve had no run behind the ball other than bacha. So at least yarren gives y another option.  But then you hae two squibs in back six.  One too many.

I just think at this level you shouldn't have to put up with a defender not being able to defend very well. I think most would agree he is poo at that. He gives us good run against the average sides but when he is up against the good teams he goes missing. And when he doesn't deliver his run and carry and he cannot defend we may as well have a witches hat out there.

I'm not saying Yarran is the answer at HB as I'd play him forward but what I am saying is that Houli isn't the answer. He has taken us this far but unfortunately he can take us no further. The quicker we realize this with players like Houli the quicker we can try and find a replacement.

We wonder why we have lost 3 elimination finals in a row, it's because we have too many guys that only play well against average sides. Houli, Grigg, Conca, and definitely Ellis.

Time to try others in these positions.
