sorry, been flat out with work

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.

Far be it for me to disagree with you.
:razz:

I guess if you’re 3 years older you’re entitled to call him “the kid”.

There was a lot to like, but also plenty of room for improvement. LOB's disposal wasn't great but I'm not going to hang him on one pre-season performance where he is playing against men for the first time. I think it will be a real eye-opener for him and can only aid his development going forward.

There were far more positives than negatives, so please don't think I am only seeing negatives, but am I the only one that thought Mullet was horrendous? For a bloke that's played nearly 100 games of AFL football, I thought he was weak at the contest and his disposal was rubbish. If a bloke is delisted from a bottom side, there's usually a pretty good reason for it. It may have been a case of just trying too hard in your first game for your new club, but I he was awful. Hope he proves me wrong


I wondered who the #18 was being very ordinary.




I believe his name is "Flounder".





Looks like Richard Flounder
