Only saw him as a youngster, playing at Scotch with Cyril Rioli, those two were dominant. Djerrkura and Nick Smith (sydney) in the middle, with cyril up forward, not many teams could match them up very well.

Definitly a talented guy, worth a look.

very very similar, hard to compare him to cyril now. In terms of pace, back in the day there wasn't much seperating them, and they we're clearly quicker than everyone else out there.

Djerrkura had pretty good draft camp results by memory as well, was top 10 on a lot of the categories, and 2nd overall in 20m sprint I think it might have been.

I think he looks like exactly the type of player we are looking for. Could play HHF, and if he proves himself to be an effective line breaker or ball magnet with goot skills could push into the mid field.

We should offer Geelong a second round pick 4 him. I think they will let him go, to benifit him; as well have a good history of cooperating during trade week to achieve the best out come for the players involved (unlike the Pies).

Must remember in the past Geelong had salary cap pressure . That will notbe there when G Ablett moves north saving them $500,000+ per season

if he was to play for us round one next year, who's spot would he take? Would he make the final 22?

So far the most likely delisted name that has come up on the forum.

Sounds very promising.

Brett Peake, Jarryn Geary, Andrew McQualtar, David Armitage, Luke Miles!
There's five I think he could replace!

Tarrant is a loser - according to Coll ppl I know.


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

Such an overated player. People always assume he just can't a game, because he is at Geelong. Yet, many first year players this year have still got games (Duncan, Menzel).
Has poor disposal as well. Do we need another poor disposal speedster? Although, he is a very good tackler, which I guess fits very well with how St Kilda play.

Wouldn't go after him, although he does have some potential about him.

He only became a 'loser' once he left the Flth.
Before that he was a 'champion' for them.

He'd go bloody close.

Although my exposure to both players has been patchy, I'd probably prefer of a player of Djerrkura's abilities than the dude in your avatar if I were really harshly honest.

Good tackler, verstatile, quick, strong, discipilned, disposal of average quality, but then again prob above par for most of our boys !!

Pretty potent defensive fwd option and mid rotation in the right side I'd reckon.

Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Sure, but outside of the dude in my avatar who isn't in the current best 22 anyway, who would he really displace? Another poster listed 5 other players. If that is the case, and he cannot make the best 22 for the cats, then our depth must be rubbish. Would that make him the 17th best player on the saints list yet he is the 23-27th best on the cats list? He'd have to come a long way in the pre-season before lining up for the saints round 1, 2011.

He's now been on the Geelong list for 4 years to have played a total of 4 games, yet players like Hogan, Duncan and Hunt have played more despite being the list for not as long. And they all play a fairly similar position. Maybe he has been injured, but there is a reason he isn't getting a game, heck even another first year player Menzel starting getting games late in the year.

Good tackler, thats about it. Wouldn't trade any pick under 65 for him.

Can't work out why he does't play more if he is any good. Has been there for years and hasn't got many goes. Henry Playfair was a bit the same never got going but highly rated.

Varcoe, Stokes, Burns, Johnson, Chapman, Ablett etc etc.

Pretty hard to break into that line-up.
