I would assume that Gardner is not being kept as pure 28y.o. journeyman depth, but being kept as something between that and raw draftee potential.
I have seen enough in Roarke to think he deserves another year, especially with the injuries that have stalled his career thus far. Not sure that forward is his best role, but we are stacked with running backs so it will be interesting to see what his role is next year.
Gardner is on the list coz we would be paying him a packet of chips and a pie.
Sorry mate he isn’t raw or has potential. He is a cheap gap filler that is now probably 6-7 player depth.
And as I’ve said I really hope the bloke smashes it and proves me wrong but he doesn’t move well, read the ball well, spread well, man mark well, zone well, drop into space well. And that’s in both the AFL and VFL
