I was behind the goals with my Steven Smith duffel coat on.
Had to look past the goal umpire ,Matthews and Smith to see the play.
Might've been 25m.
As you said, dead set king hit.
Couldn't believe the goal ump "didn't see it".
Most players apply themselves the 1st pre-season at new clubs. (unless you're Colin Sylvia) So it's not this year I worry about Garlett. It's next year and the year after when he feels comfortable in his new surroundings where he'll reveal his true stupidity. It wasn't luck a 30-40 goal a year player fell into our lap at pick 63. Malthouse has been around footballers a long time and knows a DH when he sees one. And he didn't think this one was worth putting up with no matter how many goals he kicked.
Wouldn't surprise me if the got the slap on the wrist either.
Not sure about the sympathy from all quarters for the players though.
Sadly, I don't think your cynicism or logic is flawed.
We won games and and narrowly lost games last year playing absolutely deplorable football. Even when we won we were rubbish. If we could by some miracle get some confidence and a good run with injury, anything could happen.
I was pretty excited about him too.

Nevermind Frawley being gone rd 2 last year. A few years ago I was behind the goals at Etihad against the Roos when Juice Newton thought he was Nick Riewold for the 1st qr. I looked into Frawleys eyes when the game had turned for the worst as he retrieved a ball from the bag to kick out after a behind. He was gone then.
Thanks for the reports every-one. 1 thing to be fit, helps when running around like a headless chook. I'd like to know if their disposals improving? Can't win if ya can't get it to the next bloke.
