Thanks, Wookie. Great work as always.
Sorry for the triple posts but at his time of the day nobody else is awake...
For those worried about Garlett, watch those highlights and just watch Garlett's work rate. He might easily have had four goals in the first half had he been chosen as the option. He certainly presented himself.
The first goal he ran from the back pocket to the forward line alongside the ball movement.
The run where Picket took on the right wing shows Garlett running alongside outside and then he switched inside to present two options one after the other but dropped away when Pickett kept going and he couldn't keep up.
The kid can play and has the smarts.
The other thing about that reel was the way Dow gave silver service to the forwards. I am going out on limb here. Based on one game, I am going to say those two passes to Casboult and Thomas were the best I've seen since Houlihan, who was probably the best of his era.
I disagree, when watching I commented a few times that I think whilst Garlett is certainly very quick but he runs a bit 'dumb' in the sense that he sprints to where the ball was, over commits and runs past people etc. Which I think means he gasses himself and can't get to the next contest or he might get to the next contest but he's too cooked to provide an option to the best of his ability.
I think the kid can definitely play, but I don't think he has the 'smarts' which can sometimes be the hardest thing to teach.
But also, I might just be stupid and this isn't the case at all. I guess we'll see.
