Was a speculative pick at best, lazy and chooses when to put in. Fark him off at years end IMO, no more hanging onto crap trucks. Lang in the same boat, if they don't show something straight up, show em the door.

I said Lang wasn't going to be at his best this season because of the ankle injury and I reckon its showing.

Garlett is a quandry.  He looked better early on.  Hes a draftee so its an automatic 2 years, and I think hes shown enough attributes to make it.  Don't forget that he basically had a year off last season because of the mental health aspect.  Its hard work playing for Carlton at the moment, and Garlett has looked more deer in the headlights rather than lazy, and SPS has done similar at times.

I think we need to be a bit patient, and give these two some time, rather than write them off altogether.

Garlett has shown some glimpses of good footy and I back Bolton to get them going.

Garlett went back to Perth because his brother had what was thought to be a terminal illness - nothing to do with mental health Thry.

He's still finding his feet as an AFL player and I'd cut him some slack this season.

Lets park the discussion on Garlett and Lang for 12 mths then, I'm not holding my breath on either of them though. Happy to be proven wrong, but...

Not really.

Sydney area
Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower. Winds southwesterly 25 to 40 km/h increasing to 30 to 45 km/h in the morning.

90% chance of rain Showers, top of 14. Doesn’t sound great to me!!

IMHO it has everything to do with mental health and perhaps putting your career on hold to spend time with your brother is more about his own mental health than his brothers.  Let's not forget he didn't jump ship to a WA footy club he took the year off because focussing on footy might have been hard (fair enough too).

He did go back and play with south Fremantle but that's besides the point as AFL clubs don't have as much wiggle room as the next tier down.  Less scrutiny and more time to go through life and focus on what's important.

I recall reading some stuff re Garlett that (aside from his brother's health concerns) he was not happy at GC.

So, for all we know at this stage it could be a dry game....if showers come earlier in the day, the wind will dry things out in no time....

The club publish a Garlett story to go with Indigenous round then don't select him to play!

Ducks and Drakes, I expect a late change! ;)
