He makes good position a lot but needs the support of those around him. Like SPS. It seems to me, the elder statesmen in the team don't trust the younger kids enough and always look for the same suspects. I watched in horror last weekend as time after time we went wide when we had loose players calling for the footy inside the centra square. I think that's what BB was talking about in the presser when he said we went down the line to a contest too often. If we are to have any hope against Geelong, we need to vary our ball movement and take the centre corridor option when it's available. Also, we tend to handball to someone too close to the ball carrier and the recipient of the handball is under pressure as he receives it. Players like Garlett, SPS, Pickett, Cunningham could run and carry if they had that extra half a metre to a metre when they get the ball in hand. of course that presupposes there are forwards in the forward fifty to run towards.
H'll be ok. Reminds me of Houlihan the way he makes position and then gets ignored.

Anyone here going to the game?

Former Carlton captain and three-time premiership centre half-forward Mark Maclure is eminently qualified to reflect on his experiences at 'The Cattery'.

“I loved playing down there,” said the 243-game great this week. “The ground was good to play on, no drama, the players caught the bus from the club together and we’d have a drink on the way back . . . and so you should.

“I tell you what, the ground’s changed. They’ve done a good job and we as taxpayers have paid for it because the government gives them plenty.”

Fraser seemed most complimentary about Cunningham, Lobbe, Weitering and Phillips in his report on the Northern Blues match.

Agree with most of that, but what role do you see Garlett playing?

Seems to have a very mysterious role to me... (I can't figure it out?)

Garlett is an interchange decoy. Role is to try and trick Geelong into thinking they have too many players on the park and force an interchange infraction. Being on the ground but for all intents and purposes otherwise invisible and out of the play for 90% of the time he goads the opposition into over-estimating their numbers and potentially taking steps to correct the erroneous assumption. Downside is that in the process they kick 10 or 12 goals, upside is that maybe once a season or so we might get an extra free kick!

Still take Jones over Rowe any day.
