Post Game Parley-2019 AFL Rd 2: Carlton vs Port Adelaide:

[Barbs]

Same could be said of about 10 in the side today. We need more from them, but they are offering more than people who aren't in the side.

re Garlett, i thought it was his best game in defence for us. Starting to get the hang of it a bit, while still having room to improve.

I reckon we have enough small forward options and need a good user of the ball down back, who can also play on the quicker forwards. If not Garlett for that role then who?

We have small forward options,  none of whom are doing enough or damaging. I’m not picturing Longmire sweating this week at the prospect of trying counter Carlton’s deadly small forwards.
That said and sarcasm aside, I also agree with you and I don’t know else can play done back in those small defender/half back roles. We didn’t get enough from Thomas, Neumann and Simmo today. Maybe that’s what we need to target in the mid year draft?
