Has anyone noticed Yarran quietly turning into a very good footballer?
It's his work without the ball that's suddenly impressing this year. Chasing, tackling, closing down options. And when he gets the ball he's as exciting as ever. Several goals came out of his creativity through the middle tonight. Up there in the best for the 1st half if you ask me. Hope the injury is nothing serious because he needs to keep this form momentum going.
Also wanted to give some props to Rowe, who stood up and played his role of killing the contest very well tonight. Good on you son. However, it really stood out being at the game how terrified he is to have the ball kicked to him. It was obvious a few times he was trying to hide as opposed to create an option coming out of defence. This made the switch hard to execute when it might have been on, and forced long kicks down the line instead. It's probably just a confidence thing, but if he can get that right there may be another year or two in blue to come for Rowe
Yep,agree with that.Yarran is obviously a massive talent,and a giant tease at the same time.The most infuriating player on our list for mine.But he finally seems to be getting it.He is working hard when he aint got the aggott which you couldnt say up until this year.Reckon Yazz is really trying hard and full credit to him................and as far as Sam Rowe goes,he has improved out of sight.Never met the bloke,but i got a hunch like Ellard and Curnow he would be a guy of impecable character.Dont make you a footballer,but seems a teriffic sort of a bloke.Reckon when them big blokes stand up you look a whole lot better as a side.And a special mention to big Levi.A brute of a man who is slowly becoming a very valuable footballer.................and another special mention to the two old bloke Heater and Brock.Reckon there steadyness in the crisis was invaluable.They will both be gone soon,but if the young blokes around them dont tune in to there words of wizdom then i reckon they have got rocks in there head,Yes im talking to you Mitch Robinson.Good game Mitch,but you really need to calm down and have a look.Cant qquestion your attack on the pill Mitch but ya gotta have more strings to your bow.I actually reckon Mitch could turn into a top notch midfielder with a bit of nous.If i was Mick Malthouse i would assign him to Heath Scotland and give him strict instructions to follow the old blokes instructions to the letter.Mitch aint smart enough to figure it out himself or talented enough for it just happen...............................all in all a great fighting win against the odds.................and yyes,we can cause another boilover and knock off the Pies.
