Richmond star Tim Taranto was a last-minute out of the Tigers\u2019 Round 20 clash with Collingwood with calf soreness, with coach Adem Yze saying \u201che just felt a bit of awareness\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 2023 Jack Dyer Medal winner completed the captain\u2019s run on Saturday before a decision was made 30 minutes ahead of the first bounce on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got through yesterday, so he got through the captain\u2019s run, but there was obviously still a risk of getting through the warm-up and really testing it,\u201d Yze explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur fitness staff really wanted him to hit high speed today and he just felt a bit of awareness today.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo his credit, he wanted to play, but we\u2019ve still got a month of footy, and he is too important to us to send him out there and make the injury worse.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully by doing what we did today, he shouldn\u2019t miss anything other than what he did today.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously a tough one, we find out Pendles (Scott Pendlebury) is out \u2013 one of their most important players \u2013 but then 10 minutes later we find out our best player, and a guy that\u2019s in career best form, is a late out as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yze was positive about the performance in his post-match press conference, as the young Tigers once again showed plenty of promise against the ladder-leading Magpies, as the exciting journey into the future continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was rapt with the way the boys responded and didn\u2019t let it (Taranto\u2019s absence) affect our first quarter,\u201d Yze said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a lot that we liked. Understanding the opponent and where they sit and the talent they\u2019ve got, we understood the game that we were going to be in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like compared to previous weeks when we did play against the teams that are at the top end, it wasn\u2019t as bad as what it\u2019s been, so that\u2019s a positive. Our response was a positive, our second half, we kept fighting and didn\u2019t let the scoreboard dictate our effort and intent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adem Yze reveals why Tim Taranto was a late out against Collingwood.
