Changed my mind.

Needs to be better by hand and foot. Unacceptable 34 disposals that make Castagna look like Darren Jarman.

He has been disappointing. He handballs to players under more pressure. Or never hitting a chest either too high or too far or too low at the feet or behind and players lose momentum when running.

It’s just not good enough standard TBH.

I don’t give an poo about 30+ possessions that contribute nothing.

He can pee off back to GWS.

[The Machine]

Disposal is poor, agreed.

Will never kick a goal in Richmond colours

Will never kick a goal in Richmond colours

Ummm

He did last week

Again

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Another who looks spent confidence wise. Refused to kick. Hands were actually ok but we need ball by foot more tonight and he wasn’t prepared to commit that

Fair enough,  but let's be honest his competing against nobody all our players are  down.

Are you really suggesting these stats are empty because he’s been a bit inefficient ? What about crips
Or Oliver ? Taranto is the very least of our problems

No but Taranto needs to be better as do the other senior players in our team that have also been atrocious with their skills.

If I was that bad at my own “skill” execution (in the real world) I wouldn’t last 5min in my job but I don’t see even a quarter of the money these blokes get.
They all need to be better at skill execution it’s their job and it’s what they get paid to do.

[lamington]

I keep going back and forth about this. Maybe it’s because dusty is such a good kick I just assume everyone should be able to execute to his level? Maybe that’s not fair but I suppose after 3 premierships you get spoiled and you assume every kick is going to hit someone lace out

[Andyy]

He's a good extractor.

Most of his kicks are under significant physical pressure, mid-tackle, off balance etc.

Knocking his DE is stupid.

Average game has 30 clangers and 80 turnovers.
It’s part of the game, how you move the ball and punish the other way is the whole way we built our system.

You bought the cake when we were winning flags so quit yer whining

[Francois Jackson]

30 useless possys is what I saw.

You want to get paid the big bucks learn how to kick you idiot.

Keen to watch the replay as it seemed he shirked a few contests.
