Garlett has the ability, and if you watched him pr-game on saturday night, he was slotting them from everywhere.
I also don't think we have too many fit bodies to bring in, so I don't see the logic of dropping him when all you're going to end up with is Nick Graham.
I think at this point, all you can do is reward players showing workrate if not impact (Polson) and put games into blokes with ability (Garlett) and reward triers who are doing the right things they get dropped and call this a culture setting year.
Screw playing to win. We need to play to set our footy club up.
As brutal as it sounds, Polson shows all the signs of being a dud, yep he tries need to do a lot more then just try. I would try if i was asked to play AFL doesn't mean I should continue to play. He is no where near ready and i have no idea why his contract was extended so early. Gets it under 6 times a match and when he does he has no clue whatsoever.
Garlett is less of a concern as he does at times show he has the tricks to be a player but is another that seems to not know what to do at all when he finally gets the pill which isn't much.
I'm all for playing kids but once they have had a decent chance which i believe both of these guys have considering the min output you get from them they need to play seconds until they are ready.
Cant keep playing 2 players down every week and then complain when we get pumped.
