2017 Player Reviews: # 36 Jeff Garlett

[Demonland 66,450]

FREAKISH

Jeff Garlett had a great season highlighted by his lightning speed and some freakish goals. He must have been close to All Australian selection although his form tapered off a little right at the end.

Gee if he only had a little helper to go along with him, we would be unstoppable.

Close to a career best year and would've been close to filling a forward pocket in the final All-Australian team. Fantastic response after a fairly mixed 2016.

21 games, 42.28 goals is a great result...but would it be selfish to want it to be 21 games, 55.15 goals?

some of his misses in front are inexplicable - his set shot work needs a lot of work

love his ability to outbody bigger defenders and use his footballing 'nous' to control the space around the drop of the ball and put himself in an advantageous position to make the most of his opportunity

his football definitely became more subdued as a result of off-field circumstances, but he still looked threatening

he's a massively important part of our forward line

Thought his set shots this year we're a vast improvement on last year.  42.28 is pretty good really.

If I recall correctly a bad and particularly critical exception to his steadiness in front of goal was the final round against the Pies.  Missed at least one, if not more set shots that he would have gobbled up earlier in the season... was not alone in that though.

Jeff is exibit A in why Jack Watts shouldn't be let go for peanuts.

ANB. No surprise that Nibbler's career best season coincided with Garrett's best season for us.

Hi all!

I didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I'd give this one a bump.

I've just edited and uploaded a video to YouTube featuring Jeffy's 2017 highlights.

More to come in the lead up to round one!

Go Dees!

Great effort for your eighth post! ? Ten minutes of viewing pleasure to gear us up for the first round! Shame that we didn’t pick up Eddie Betts as well! ?

I see Mark Robinson has him in his SuperCoach team today in the Hun. Playing for Carlton! 

Does Slobbo know something we don’t? No, let me re-phrase that.....
