ROBBIE Tarrant enjoys his work as a teller at the Bendigo Bank’s Strath Hill branch.But he’s hoping that he has now worked his last day at the branch.If all goes to plan, Tarrant hopes that come this afternoon he will be swapping his Bendigo Bank uniform for the guernsey of an AFL club.Tarrant is among the 1290 players who have nominated for today’s AFL national draft, with the well-built Bendigo Pioneer considered by the AFL as one of the top 30 prospects.‘‘I have been a bit restless the past week or so thinking about the draft, but I’ve got one more sleep until tomorrow, which I’m looking forward to,’’ Tarrant said yesterday.‘‘I’m hoping it will work out for me; I’ve done everything I can to give myself a chance.’’Should he get drafted today, the name Tarrant won’t be a new one to the AFL.Tarrant is the younger brother of former Collingwood player and now Fremantle Docker Chris Tarrant, who has played 182 AFL games.Chris was drafted 10 years ago in the 1997 national draft, along with six other Pioneer players.‘‘Chris has said to me to just enjoy the week and the lead-up to it because it all really starts from Saturday,’’ Tarrant said.‘‘It would be great to play with Chris, not many players get to play with their brothers at AFL level, but I don’t care where I end up ...it would be good to play against him as well.’’While Robbie bears an uncanny resemblance to Chris in looks, the AFL says the forward also plays in a similar mould to his brother.In its list of top 30 draft prospects released last week, the AFL described 195.9 cm Tarrant as a tall, powerful forward.‘‘We’re pretty much the same height and play the same position on the ground, so we’re fairly similar,’’ Tarrant said.Tarrant played 14 games for the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup this year, with his season interrupted by a dislocated right shoulder.The 18-year-old kicked 22 goals this year, and averaged 11 kicks, six handballs and five marks per game.He nominated for the draft last year, but believes not being picked up was a blessing in disguise.‘‘Last year I only played two games for the whole season, but I was eligible, so I thought I may as well enter myself,’’ he said.‘‘I didn’t get picked up, which worked out well because I have matured a bit more and really enjoyed playing with the Pioneers this year.’’Tarrant, who afl.com.au tipped would go to the Kangaroos with selection 32 in its phantom draft this week, enhanced his reputation as an exciting talent with a solid performance at last month’s draft camp.AFL talent identification manager Kevin Sheehan said Tarrant was one of the surprise packets of the draft camp after he ‘‘cracked three seconds for 20 m’’ and his beep test of 14.2 was ranked in the top 10.
