Okay what are we doing with Gardner in the ruck? We recruited Owen to play ruck in the VFL when Smith missed and Gardner is never going to play ruck minutes at AFL level
Definitely getting a free ride with the umpires but a lot of it is that the Saints are looking to raise their arm in tackles or go forward a little too easily.
I think he has only ever cameoed down back to fill a spot due to an injury, when we recruited him initially I thought that the intention was for him to be the long term Wood replacement.
Even then Jones, McNeil, Clarke and Spicer are all having more impact. He's not getting very much and he's not making the most of his touches with scores or score assists.
