Summary- The Carlton high draft pick always looked as though he would be a great player for the future, we just didnt know it would be as a highly skilled and efficient half back flanker. Yarran burst open the NAB cup with a number of classy performances running out of Carlton's 50, and the even better thing to see was that his team mates were looking for him to get it out of there 50 everytime. Yarran had a great year in 2011 increasing his average by 25.5 ppg from 2010. The only problem Yarran seemed to have during the year was a forward tag, however he adapted to them before the year was over.

Decision- Yarrran can offer great value again this year and may even up that average to high 90's. Will be listed as a back and not a forward this season.

Will you get on Yarran in 2012?

Great work MTTY.
In short for me, it all comes down to whether Gibbs is a defender or not.

Cheers Maca. i reckon Gibbs will still be a B/C but if he does loose his mpp will probably be a back over a centre.

Yea well I love Yarran, but I reckon i'd take Gibbs before him.
You never know though  ;)

I'm not sold on Yarran. He certainly has the ability to be the run out of defence for the Blues but that tag just kills him :-\. Teams picked up on him and he received more attention which hurt his scoring (e.g Hurn).

It would also be intersting to see if Heath Scotland is listed as a B/C.

Yarran had a decent season but im not 100% sold on him yet, Going to watch him all pre season and see where he goes from there.

Nice MTTY! Bringing back the format :)

Yarran is a maybe.... but probably not

had him all of last season.

a 50/50 pick. would depend on his position in SC

Top stuff MTTY.  :D
How many of these do you plan to do?

I will do a fair few of them.

Awesome  8).

I will strongly consider him, there is still improvement left in his game which will come with confidence = time. Being in one of the few teams that will have the same coach next year, there wont be any massive changes to game styles & the blue baggers will become more confident by the young blokes playing together another year

Unlikely... Don't like the fact he can't cope very well with a tag.

add hammies.  I think its something he will need to watch. 

hey all,
After picking up Yarren last season and fairly happy with his improvement I didnt think I would consider him again but it seems Rattens thinking to throw him in the mid-field

Anyone think he could crack the ton average next season? For his price tag Im still thinking I wont but tempting if he can get some more of his own ball playing through the mid-field.

Cartlon has way too many mids as it is

Mclean situation is a good example

therefore if he was going into the mids no

Yarran is a good player. He wont stay in the midfield, he was just moved to half back from the pocket IIRC.
He could crack the ton, but I wouldnt go there. Picked him this year, and he is too inconsistent.

Hey Custard...Hopefully he pulls backline in SC...then get on I reckon.

Ol' ears on a stick (coach) has been there a while now, his development of the playing group and his current football brain should be at a peak.

Everyone will be used to playing together without any major list changes.

Gibbs will take the forward defensive player but yarran could start to attract some attention pretty quickly, its a smelly situation for opposition coaches having 2 creative footballers (Gibbs) playing from halfback, 2 different playing styles also.

Yarran could be a real bolter, or Gibbs could be in the same hemisphere as BJ because of the potential diffuculties of manning them up.

I started with both Gibbs and Yarran in my initial plannings, since Gibbs is a little winged, Im leaning towards Yarran as alock. He is only young and will improve with the reasons listed above.

To score well in fantasy footy, you have to be fitter than the next bloke, something Gibbs wont be in 2012.

Do not see it given Carlton's Midfield would be competing with Judd, Murphy Gibbs and maybe Scotland for points.  May do a Leon Davis though with change in role but too inconsistent for me. May crack the ton from time to time but not consistently enough for me,

Yep, bit to inconsistent for me also. Don't agree though Carlton has too many mids- think they would dearly love another one or two to CONSISTENTLY take some pressure off Juddy and Murph...as Curnow and Ellard to a lesser extent displayed this year. Please don't put McLean in the thought process at all with the Blues thinking - I think i'd be on the money in saying Carlton don't really rate him at all anymore, hence why he's not playing - NOT because we have too many mids!

Yarran is not a bad option to run through the mid at times to throw even more flexibility and unpredictability...  8)

Yeh spot on.
Think I wont pick him but Ill be spewing if he averages over 100 gonna have to put him in the backline.
