I hope he can find that form and stay in the team because I still believe he is in our best 22.

Sublime when he’s on, ridiculous when he’s not. High risk, high reward.

That is exactly right. The thing about Garletts career is that he has been consistently inconsistent.

I don't know how he feels about it but I hate it when people call him "Jeffy"

Likewise Nate for Jones.

Someone inform the Coach and the MFC of this.

I love the fact that someone like Garlett is no longer a walk up start.  If players struggle with form then we have others in form at Casey who are more than capable of taking their place.  Spargo is proof of this - he is the youngest player on our list (I think), yet he's made the transition to the senior side without any problems at all.  This puts pressure on others and makes it clear that you either perform or you go back to Casey.

I still think Garlett is in our best 22 but the message is clear - have more consistency in your game or you can get it running around in the magoos.

Nev calls him Jeffy and that's what he gets in the drills at training, so assume he is ok with it

Why on earth would something like this bother you?!

Nev calls him Jeffy is good enough for me. These days almost everyone calls him Jeffy, so the horse has well and truly bolted. 

Doesn't stop others calling him Jeff or Garlo. 

I just want him playing good footy on a regular basis. 

Needs to bring more defense to his game. His tackling and pressure acts have been way off this year. Only had one great game and mostly other average games. IMO he's in the twilight of his career and needs to kick 20-30 goals this season to really cement a longer deal. We're seeing now why Malthouse was keen to get rid of him. He needs to turn it around. It seems that whenever the pressure comes and the team is performing and in the sight of finals teams, he drops off.

Agreed this has made a big difference. Mfc no longer having to and willing to field players not perfoming at requisite level.  We still  a bit more depth but have come a long way.

Very much a confidence player IMO and if he's not involved early he disappears 

sounds like he is little chance to come in this week.  He'll be pumped to play in NT so hope he plays well for casey

He'll be back. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Hopefully not too late, but looking like not too soon.

thinking they'd like him for alice springs

He's terrible when it's wet weather footy, shirks the body contact that comes with it. That's when he lost form.

In the dry, I think he applies good pressure.

If I were coach, I'd just not select him for the wet weather games.

What do they call Pedersen? Has the nickname 'The Bear' caught on yet?

Spot on. 

He attacks the ball at speed but doesn't body it.  He is a liability in the wet.

Another front runner.  If we want to get bejond any front running habits within this club, then we have to cut front runner types from our list,,, as soon as we can.

I climbed onto the Garlett bandwagon last year,,, but like with 'wattshisface',,,  I'm jumping back off that festival float disappointed again from the downturn in efforts.

 

The standard we look beyond, is the culture we shall receive.

He’s still our best small forward but he’s had a poor start to the year (except for him saving our bacon against brissy). Now he has to fight to get back in against players who might not have the same magic but work a lot harder.
