Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Yarran can't pick 'n choose when he wants to play. Looked a million bucks against the Roos, pathetic against the Dockers....saw 2 instances right in front of me (Aisle 39, Level 1) whereby myself & the Carlton supporters around me collectively went nuts at Yarran's sub-par application. Don't care what his age or life experiences are, play like it means something to you ffs.
I wasn't far from that either and it was the final straw for me, squibbed the contest then just gave up. If I were Mick I'd make him sub again.

Interesting that Yarran had 15 touches, 7 tackles and 3 goals the week prior to being made sub.
Against who?

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Nah, he's gone backwards. Who's at fault is debatable but he is just plain awful ATM, a shadow of the player we've been used to seeing over the previous 2 years. Think about it. no one would've entertained trading Yarran over the past two years but now everyone is happy to fk him off. He's gone backwards no doubt about it.
So why has he gone backwards? Is it injury? Is it lack of game time or opportunity? What's changed in 6 months?
The only things I reckon that has happened is he is playing a different role and he has had the acid put on him by Malthouse.
To the first part. Playing half forward flank doesn't seem to worry Christensen, Motlop, Thomas and Wingard. So he should be able to have an impact.
To the second part. Mick dropped him and applied the acid. There is a old saying that you really don't know someone until you have pinched them and you see how they respond. Remember the Essendon game against West Coast when Hird gave Sheedy the big "screw you" with a raised fist to the coaching box after he kicked a goal. Clearly Sheedy told him something he didn't like, but he went out to prove him wrong rather than drop the lip.
I guess I hoped Yarran would do like Hird did, but at the moment it looks like he has responded like my 4 year old son. I just don't think it ever going to happen with Yarran and in ten years time he might have a goal of the year to his name when he should have countless more important honors and it will be everyone else fault that he didn't make it.
He has shown a real lack of character for mine and I hope I am wrong because I love the player he could be.
If it's to be it's up to me.
