Re: 2018 Rd 11: Pre Game Prattle: Carlton vs Sydney Reply #45 – May 31, 2018, 09:03:27 pm Quote from: Gointocarlton – on May 31, 2018, 07:11:56 pmWas 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.

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. Quote Selected
