People carrying on re garlett, small forward in average side , with extra attention after a breakout year.

No surprise he struggled


I wish it was that simple.

I know the situation and I feel for Jeff. You would too if you knew what he's had to go through this year, and what he's going through now...wouldn't want it to happen to my enemy.


I was defending him. I believe he was fine this year.

He would be snapped up by any side in the AFL in a heart beat.

Fair enough. Bet hes seen a footy before though! My son is 8. Has a better technique than Levi.

Not saying he won't make it. If he does, I don't reckon it will be next year.

I thought that goal he kicked against Essendon* was rubbish.

Sheedy picked the wrong guy...there was others there who were much better candidates.

You've got to know when to hold 'em...know when to fold 'em...know when to walk away...know when to run.

..if he's always been a good size, strong hands and kicked so well, how come he went as late as rookie draft..?..

A poster on CSC saying that Casboult, McLean and Bell will be announced as re-signings at the B and F on Tuesday. Only a rumour at this stage.

Here you go, also made TAC team of they year and lead contested marking. Strange that he didn't go earlier looking at that.

^^^

..guess others that know more could comment, i think there's potential in him without any promises but he shows a bit.. ..yes kicking isn't pretty but a strong marking fwd like him, with his ruck relief work being ok,, should be getting developed with more time in the seniors..

Yeah, quality big men don't really show themselves until the rookie draft. It's a wonder we don't just trade away most of our draft picks and wait 'til then - whoops! :oops:

..i'm with you on this one, bar hartlett and kennedy we haven't drafted an early pick kpf in a decade [ish].. ..year after year everyone says we dont have enough quality kpf's.. ..and year after year we ignore it..

I thought his 10 misses against GC and StK were legendary. Imagine of the goal posts were 20m wider..straight to the Hall Of Fame
