Past #6: Taylor Garner - delisted end '21 - 49 NM games/37 NM goals - go well Garns

[sbdan]

Massive confidence booster for him. Stepped up when he was needed. He made it tonight.

 

[gokangas]

he made a difference when it counted - ripper effort.

 

[boneofshin]

He's an animal. Keep in mind he was playing his 15th game tonight. The possessions will come.

 

[Elite Master]

He tackles and jumps really well.

 

[kangaspurs]

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

 

[muttley45]

Lays a crunching tackle, and has a great vertical leap, was robbed of a few stats by the umpiring tonight, arms chopped when took a clear mark, couple of ball ups after laying perfect tackles, couple of goals, and a nice pass to Waite late in the game too, doubt he will ever be a 30+ disposals type, but definitely an impact player, in more ways than one, kick arse Taylor

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Hit the scoreboard when he had the chances. That's what he needs to do most!

 

[dus]

Did exactly what is required from his role. His disposal is pretty tidy. Was opportunistic. Tackled hard. Will play every game if he keeps that up.

 

[SMaturin]

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

 

[ansonholt]

A keeper. Persist with him and persist with him again. Has qualities that no other player in our side has.

 

[the_one]

when this bloke starts getting 20 touches a game...look out. Did everything required tonight; took his chances, tackled hard, smashed bodies.

 

[Psicosis]

Bloke is clutch AF.

I'm a huge fan.....but jesus he is lucky he contributed in that 2nd half. As others have stated he needs to get the ball more.

People need to lighten up a bit on this. Yes it would be good. He's played 14 games. His possession numbers will climb as he gets more games. Probably never to 20+ a game but he'll get into the high teens. And he has a knack for making his presence felt.

Don't worry, he's not another Harper.

 

[hilly]

The gap between his worst (being invisible for 20 minutes) and best (pack marks at crucial stages) is huge. Not concerned, and as others have said he applies plenty of pressure and physicality.

 

[MaddAdam]

GHUHIWBH

 

[archereleven]

I wanna see stints in the middle. His hardness and tackling around the contest would have me tent pitching...

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Dat contested mark.

The guy is gifted. I genuinely thing he has the potential to be an elite midfielder. Has all the attributes.

 

[Roo Beauty]

His set shot goal surprised me because he's struggled with that so far in his career.

It was a focus for him during the preseason and it was brilliant to see it sail through.

 

[Harris 10]

Dat contested mark.

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

 

[Pres]

Given his horror history with hammy and hip injuries it's quite amazing that he's retained such a great vertical leap.

Agree with others that he adds something different to our side.

 

[Jesslc]

How easily Garner couldve missed that sealer and crows have a chance to rebound and win.......



But he didnt. (L)

I saw him in at the center bounce twice last night. I'd imagine more midfield time is coming. Exciting!

Lacks a bit of a tank due to injuries and explains the lack of disposals, but a couple pre-seasons and he'll be taking Swallow's spot in the midfield soon enough.

Rob, he was unsighted for the 1st half.........everyone has been beating on about not blooding the kids over the summer. Everyone must pull their weight. Lets be honest he wouldn't have been over please dwith his 1st half.
