  • 2012 was Tarrant's first injury free year and it was reflected with a total of 16 games for the season.
  • However, he only managed three games in the first half of the season as he battled with his form in the VFL with Werribee. Ultimately it was a string of strong performances which earned a call-up for the Round 12 game against Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium.
  • Despite just three behinds, Tarrant showed enough to be retained for next week's game against Adelaide and it was here he started a run of 23 goals in just nine games.

 

Background

  • Recruited from Bendigo
  • A key position player who can play forward and back
  • Had an injury-interrupted start to his career with four shoulder reconstructions

 

Season by Season

Season by Season

  • Tarrant completed a full pre-season and appeared set to cement his spot with 21 possessions in the season opener against West Coast.
  • Unfortunately he suffered further injury problems and only played seven games for the season.

 

  • With two injury interrupted seasons behind him, Tarrant was finally able to make his debut in 2010 against Sydney in Round 15.
