I also didn't think that Garlett was too bad I'd have him in the team well before either of Polson who lacks the ability to finish and Plowman who simply moves too slowly.Plowman is a real concern as he's too slow moving toward the ball and getting the ball to his boot - his actions are all too telegraphed and I'm just not sure if it's possible to train somebody to speed up their body movement after they've been playing footy for so long.
Not that impressed with Garlett or Polson...I know we need a small defender with pace but you put either of those two up vs quality and its going to end in disaster IMO.......
Richmond are not the team to be experimenting with either......
Collingwood didnt play DeGoey and used Elliott as a main forward and its a tactic we struggle with IMO.....did the same thing with Sidebottom and Treloar last season.
Plowman is a lock down defender who got lost with the game plan of defending grass least season, then got injured and looks a bit rusty. I think his slowness is more to do with needing game time to pick up the pace of the game, like to see him give the ball off to players like Newman a bit more who can carry and use the footy.
