News Joel Garner signs for Richmond VFL

[Schulzenfest]

Yep but it was much more important to get games in to 30 year old Matthew Broadbent than to give him a crack.

Who we then immediately delisted at the end of the year.

He'd rightly feel unlucky given how many other low ceiling smalls got extended runs of games under Hinkley. I wish we'd played him more, I think he was a pretty clever footballer and could have grown his game.

I rated Garner.. not saying he would of been an A grade quality player. But he would of played his roll and had a solid career in my opinion.

He should pick up some game time with the dogs.
Definitely try’s hard hopefully he goes ok.

I rated Garner.. not saying he would of been an A grade quality player. But he would of played his roll and had a solid career in my opinion.

In today's day and age, with mid season picks and rookies etc etc. - anyone half decent would get picked up by another club pretty quickly.

Chances are, if nobody went for him, he wasn't up to it. He looked handy, but not sure he had much improvement in him, which is likely why he was let go.

One thing I do trust is our list management with regards to letting players go. Very rarely has a player been willingly let go that has gone on to prove our decision wrong.

 

[Interstater]

Was very disappointed he didn't get more opportunity at Port.
Very strong reliable defender, would have been in my first 18.

My favourite maggie for a number of years.
Lesser version of Tom Harley.
