Hurley squibbed it.

His game was awesome but will he have that impact in a stronger side, or would a stronger side allow him to be consistent across the four quarters.
He was a beast today.

Has done this once or twice this season.

Consistency is this teams greatest downfall.

 

[Daz]

Looked every bit a Fyfe clone today.

darlingesque.

Hurley squibbed it.

That was the X factor garner I love

 

[Kimbo]

Building nicely.






(Very nicely.)

 

[Twinkletoes]

Keep the body ticking along and this bloke has a very big future for us. Love the way he goes about it.

Great game Garns.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Great game today i just wish he could kick for goal better.

That's part of the package. He's always going to spray easy kicks and kick the freaky ones. Like Daz wrote, he's Fyfe like

He's a midfielder, he's not a natural forward.

He's a midfielder, he's not a natural forward.

Dunno, he has the contested marking and nose for goal of a natural forward. That goal he slotted today was pure class.

The coaching staff are doing some interesting stuff with TG. Been playing defensive roles last few weeks. This week given licence to roam as midfielder, starting some center square set ups.

Beat McGrath beautifully in that chase down contest on the flank.

In a couple of years, with greater fitness,I see him being the bloke we isolate one out in the square for periods. Very very difficult match up.

 

[ripperpart]

Midfielder with the attributes to be a forward.
same as Ziebell.

 

[Rooboys Rool]

Does he have the ability to get his endurance up?

Needs a couple of uninterrupted preseasons. Also needs to lose a few kegs of fat. Those two things sorted would make a big difference.

Very very different player to Jack. Both have manic attack on man and ball but that is about it.

Garner has serious pace, which JZ lacks. Jack is good overhead but TG a different level.

Also Garner waits when in possession to look for an option and will often go backwards to keep the ball where Jack instinctively belts it forward.

Very different players.

 

[ripperpart]

why is he starting to morph into Mick McGuane?

 

[ferball]

Because he will be a premiership player who kicks one of the greatest running goals ever.

Obviously.

This is it and I"ve said it from the start of the year. If we can get him through 18+ games this year and then a full preseason or two he will be able to do this stuff all day. It will be a joy to watch... for us. Less so for the other teams.

 

[Deadeyeroo]

Awesome game yesterday. Not sure where he played but it looked like he was playing more midfield. Once again a player who hasn't been experimented in different positions.

Starting to make 27 relevant again.

Hurley squibbed it.

Hurley could have killed him also, and 5 years ago he would have killed him. The break in footy seems to have mellowed Hurleys playing style.

This will be remembered as Taylors "turn the corner" game. Taylor was just so clean yesterday. My mate and I agreed yesterday that he is going to be a pure 100% thug when he is no longer the little kid in the playground. He is going to monster some back lines down the track.

 

[darko]

I don't think it's the break that mellowed Hurley, just the new rules. If he hurts Garner there he probably gets rubbed out.

 

[MaddAdam]

Also, knowledge if he hits TG like that, he has entered a lifelong blood feud.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Surprising piece of good blokedness by Hurley in not cleaning him up in that marking contest. Could have split him open.
