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!
Thanks BS... Beat me to it...
2nd... I get the cynicism... and I understand the frustration.. But it was a legit question... I'm assuming no one is sent in to just run around and try and get the ball... Thus the question.
If he's loose on the outside, use him (and get him out there more often!)..


Go you good things

Interested to see how we fit

Jones, Weitering, Rowe, @#$%&! OHSEA & Plowman into 1 backline
Obviously not planning on running it out of there

Very disappointing to see O'Shea still in the team.

I see Garlett's role may have been different too... Judging by this week's team....

And I think Graham is stiff.... Something I missed about him last week?

I think it may have been Cunningham form in the 2's moreso than Graham form

Rather give Schumacher a run.

How did Graham get dropped?

I’m puzzled at some of these selections this week.

All ins I’m fine with.

IMHO Graham after Cripps was our best player last week yet gets the lemonade and sarse.Strange..............but thank goodness Weiter is back...............Give Schumaker a go please.Reckon he is a player that will perform better at the higher level.

OShea gave 4 free kicks away in forward 50 last week surely that is enough to turf him
Is a shocking decision maker and gives no run cant kick -ridiculous when team is very top heavy that he remains get rid of him

Graham very unlucky

This is a much stronger side. Graham stiff but let's be honest he ain't the future. How O'Shite stays in the team is beyond me. Bolt's love child ? Hopefully Willo is only a couple of weeks from playing seniors, and then the Shite one is gone.

Have been saying it for some time

BB is stubborn...will wait as long as it takes for SPS and O'Shea to find form to vindicate his selection but drops Cunners, Polson, JSOS and now Graham AT THE FLOWERING DROP OF A HAT.

Graham has played 2 good games in a row, very stiff i feel.

I was warming to him as the Brock McLean of this side.. nothing great, but didnt suck either

Na, JSOS was persevered with for a long time when he was struggling. But O'Shite amazes me.

Medical staff a bit of a worry. Murphy back one game then out with same injury. Ditto Kennedy, kruezer , marchbank,. Byrne out for 4 weeks, aggravates injury make that out for 9. How about we only play fit players and let injured players get fit before playing them.

Spot on IMHO. Too much of a pattern, and there are very average medicos out there !

Bolts always says we trust our medical staff but on this season's evidence they are pretty average :yikes:
