Pre-Game Pressure: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs Hawthorn in Launceston

The Garlett as a defender experiment seems to be over as he played as a small forward with the NBs.

I don’t believe that he did enough to deserve a recall but I take Kruddler’s point about the need for speed.

21. Jarrod Garlett
Stats: Seven disposals, three clearances
From the coach: He had moments which were important in our front half which came on the back of his pressure. He was unselfish to set up Matt Owies for our first goal, so there was a team element to what he was doing. It’s about consistency with Jarrod: the small forward role can be difficult but we need him to continue applying pressure as we saw in stages on the weekend.

Not the sort of glowing review that demands a recall. Looked even less effective in the flesh at Vic Park. No way he’ll make the cut.
