Yarran did seem to be around the contest a little more last night cookie which does make you wonder, no Garlett = more space for Yazz to work with? Also, could it be that the three amigos' collectively poor form is actually down to there being one too many up forward? Obviously the three have played far better in previous years with Yazz down back.

Yarran touted as being a trade target by Eagles in today's West Australian....What would we get, would we want.....?

Andrew Gaff I would ask for.......more likely get offered Mitch Brown and a steaknife pick.

Maybe they might offer their first pick if they were really keen and want a 2nd rnd back.

I dont see  West Coast  going through unless Yarran really wants out himself......

I didn't think his game was as good as many on here are claiming.

Maybe cause I focus on the amount of times he stops a second before possible contact and that sh1ts me so much that I don't notice what he does when he has the ball.

He stopped instead on running straight at the ball in the contest when hocking elbowed him. Happened just before the incident.

If we are serious about becoming a real team either he shows more courage or IMO he's trade bait.

His skills are not good enough to be that soft and get away with it.

Did we make a selection blue though? Jeffy played in the reserves, he could have played last night and moved Yazz to a HBF to cover for Walkers absence. Perhaps Yazz problem at HB is his lack of D. Just saying.

I remember the issue down back with Yarran was that at times he was tagged and didn't win huge numbers. He nearly always beat his man though. He did average over 80 supercoach points 17 out of 22 times in 2011 with some very very good games of football. That's why I say, play him down back, he will beat his opponent, be more accountable and any run we get out of defence is a bonus.

If Betts leaves as expected it would be No to trading Yarran unless we got way over his market value....and I would be recruiting Dayle Garlett to take Betts spot...

What pick would you be willing to use to pick up D. Garlett EB?

His behaviour is still a concern based on that and might make me cool on him a little......

Amers....Rnd5 in the ND or first rookie pick but doubt he would still be there.....

“It was probably the best win I’ve been involved with at this footy club,” Yarran said. “To be 39 points down with a few minutes to go in the third quarter and to somehow manage to win that game was an incredible effort, and I couldn’t be more proud of the blokes who ran out on that day.

“Why did it turn around? I think the boys just knew what was at stake. Obviously if we lost that game we weren’t going to make finals and we responded pretty well to Mick’s half-time spray.
