2013 Player Profile: Christopher Yarran

[elephants]

Christopher Yarran - Carlton Blues

Position: BACK

Price: $285,200 (Fanplanner)

2011 Games: 21

2012 Games: 18

2011 Average: 73.3

2012 Average: 60.5

2012 Tons: None but three 90's

Summary: There is no doubting Yarran is a quality player and it will be interesting to see how Mick decides to use him off half-back. A distorted average due to subs and injuries has seen Yarran score fairly well when not effected by either of the aforementioned. Has also attracted a few annoying forward tags lately...

Verdict: Would much rather wait and see how Mick uses him. Pass... for now.

Ele's prediction: A tough one but I see some natural improvement from the gun SCer - 77 average.

[KoopKicka]

Not for me, but did serve very well as a D8 this year :)

[elephants]

Yeah, I feel like he is much more suited to SC...

Yeah much more :)

[Shihan7]

Yeah, he is more of an SC'er.......

[Spinking]

Unfortunately this dude flowered my DT this year, so I'll probably hold a grudge :)

Price is nice though.

[Zombie2.5]

Still a great creative player with a lot of talent, but not sure he has what it takes to be a good DTer. He almost convinced us, but he's let a lot of people who jumped on down. Great price though, but unlikely to make the final cut in my team.

[Adamant]

Got subbed out quite a few times which has lowered his average a lot...

[Adamant]

BUT is very inconsistent and goes missing for long proportions of the game.

[elephants]

Yeah he's super inconsistent. A casual 120 one week then 20 the next. Does my head in!!

I reckon under the tutelage of Malthouse we could see Yarran flourish in his 3rd year in the half back role. If he can add more accountability to his play and take the game on a bit more I can see him pushing an 80 average and if fit could play all year. In my books that would make him a top 10 defender (depending on how many DPP are allocated).

Will watch closely over the preseason as Mick implements a new game plan. After being burnt by Yaz in 2011 I'm a bit sour but love the guy as a player and would love to have him in my team scoring regular 90's and 100's

About a 40% chance to make our team atm

and i can see the same happening next year.

Pass for me

He's at a decent price, but probably not worth it...

[elephants]

Reminds me of Cyril. Has soft tissue problems but once he sorts these out he could be magic.

Not in my serious team but maybe in my 'grandads' side ;)
