Scores four in win
Taranto scored four goals and two behinds to go with 18 disposals (13 kicks, five handballs) during Friday's 106-67 win over Richmond in Round 22.
ANALYSIS
Taranto had to fill in for the suspended Toby Greene and did well, but his possession numbers took a hit as he played a role further up the field. Once Greene is back, Taranto should be able to get a little more time with the footy.
