Three have to come out yet G

Are you suggesting Garlett has been better than them the last three weeks?

certainly not from my seat. Admittedly  it is like picking the worst of the worst but JG wins for me.

Difference for me is Jeff takes the best small defender.  At his best. He is the best of the three. Harmes had been the poorest.  His goals vs the lions where in the last when the game was won. Jeff world's the hardest or the back which can stretch the defense.  Jeff can also go in the middle and get clearances.

Bad call dropping Garlett

Good to see Jeff Garlett being held accountable for his putrid form.

Being over dramatic....yes......would assume Roos has discussed with Garlett

So do you actually have an opinion on the omission?

Doubt it.  He only has opinions about posters.

[CityDee 738]

The way to help a player battling with form and confidence is to send them back a grade and play them around the ball or half back , we are not doing guys any favours  by playing them bereft of confidence. Garlett looks like that to me . It happens even when trying ya guts out . 

[Skuit 10,031]

A few months in football is certainly a long time. Pre-season we might have reasonably expected something like this:

  Howe/Frost           Cloke/Dunn         Elliott/Jetta      

  Fasolo/Salem       Moore/TMac       Swan/Lumumba

And now we have these mouthwatering footy match-ups . . .

    Crocker/Hunt         Cox/TMac           Blair/Jetta

De Goey/Stretch     White/OMac     Wagner/Varcoe

Only opinion is that the Footy Dept have seen fit to omit him, so that is fine by me

Not too dramatic?

[DemonLad5 1,642]

If Frosty goes to Cox and O.Mac goes to White, T.Mac could have a field day playing as the loose, intercept mark, run and carry defender

Genuine question Saty: Why do you post/comment/reply here if that is always your stance? I've always appreciated your training reports, particularly during the preseason, but I'm just curious as to why you'd bother engaging posters in their opinions about such things when your response is always the same.

Careful. It can lead to serious cognitive dissonance when a patient 100% supports both the club, the admin and the all the players.

Don't like Garlett out. Yes his last 2 weeks have been bad. But just a few weeks ago I saw him get out the back on attack so many times. Did anyone see Collingwood's defence last week?

Jeffy needs a message that being a pacey goalsneak is not all beer and skittles.

[dl4e 5,851]

Can't believe Dawes is playing. I just scratch my head.

Teams have embarrassed the pies by turned them around with speed n we've dropped the best exponent of that.

We are a poorer side without garlett. Roos might as well record "we've got selection wrong" and just play it after each game.

 

 

[JV7 2,366]

I was a little bit worried about this game but look at their forward line, it is absolute garbage... If they kick a bigger score than us with that forward line, I'll give the game away..

Bit like you Stuie   get a bit bored with some of the idiots on here   and can't be bothered getting into crap with them    I loathe the constant negativity  so if I see any will try and engage in debate  but most of the time is pointless   I don't know why some support seems to bring them so much misery  as for Jeff Garlett has been down on form and confidence in last couple of games  so wasn't surprised when he was omitted, bit like BenKen  who went back to Casey and responded the correct way  hopefully Jeff will do the same    these days MFC can replace any player  this shows the rest of the squad nobody is immune

Engage in debate? You mean pontificate to anyone with a contrasting opinion how wrong they are?

[chook fowler 19,650]

I really like the fact that the selectors are true to their rhetoric about dropping non- performers who ever they are. Garlett was our worst player 2 weeks in a row and showed very little willingness to compete.

No this is what I actually get  I ask how they form the opinion  try it and see what you get back    usually what some media person has spruiked

[Deecisive 1,709]

well with cloke out the pies will be trying to land the ball on cox's head so that he can use his height. I hope tmac is able to cope with that.  A bit of surprise, wood must be praying cox kicks a few, as cloke was one of the few players who on his day could kick a bag against us.  either than or their tanking.

As for Garlett, someone had to pay the price, for the poor forward performance, we also have harmes and kent listed as part of the extended interchange I expect to give them a gentle reminder that the next stop is casey if they dont start playing team football.
