How good was his kick to Waite towards the end. It was the perfect kick.

Was Boomer/Wellsesque wasnt it? superb

 

[tazaa]

When he got his arms chopped and no whistle was heard I stuck my finger up at the umpire through my tv.

What a load of bullshit that was..
Its those frees that dont get called that piss us all off when ones inside 50 do get called
**** the umps

 

[tazaa]

It was pure leap and to take it at his highest point was sublime.

His leap is outstanding
Had it as a junior and right thru to u18's

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Overhead marking is superb.

5. Taylor Garner needs to be a permanent member of North Melbourne's forward line
It has been a frustrating start to Garner's career, with the 2012 first-round draft pick suffering some debilitating injuries in the first three years of his career at North. But now fully fit and ready for his fourth AFL season, Garner should command a spot in the Roos' forward half every week. Against Adelaide on Saturday night, the mobile and tough marking option chipped in with two important goals and he adds some spark and uncertainty to North's mix near goal.
It's not about how many possessions Garner gets: not yet, anyway. At this stage his value is in flying for marks, tackling opponents and tying the ball up. Add in the occasional surprise sidestep or strong grab and he should be a constant part of North's set up. This weekend's clash with the Crows was only Garner's 14th AFL game, but the 22-year-old looks in a good position to have a breakout year. - Callum Twomey

Gun. Still replaying the grab he took and that goal...
Massive contributor and hopefully he will continue to improve to a point where he is elite. Exciting times ahead.

 

[Dan]

If he can do what he did on Saturday for the remainder of the year.....I'll happy.

It'll be a 40 goal year with pack marks and brutal tackles.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Tackles to genuinely hurt.

Love it.

Tackles to genuinely hurt.

Love it.

Should have sicced him on Lake last year. Would no longer have a mouth to whinge with.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

would love to see him have a breakout game and kick 3-4 and have 20 touches.

He definitely has all the tools to be capable of that playing across half forward.

If he plays 20 I guarantee he'll have at least 1 game like that. It'll also be against a top 4 team.

I think Garner is a big confidence player. If he can have a break out game like that we'll see him go to another level permanently I think

This kid has the potential to be elite..
A real game breaker, clutch player.

He has a way to go to get there of course and nothing is guaranteed but if any youngster on our list is going to become our next superstar, its him.

I agree, he has the most super star qualities of anyone on our list under 30 (other than Goldington, probs).

The kid just has it. Silky. Tough. Amazing athlete. Has something that all the great players have - time.

Going to enjoy the ride if he ever gets in the guts and rips it up.

Not great in front of the camera, but who cares. Very excited to see what this bloke can do over the next few years.

 

[gokangas]

Good to see - the lad can play. Well done to the club for locking another one in.
