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

[treegreen]

I'm going to keep a close eye on his kicking today.

He doesn't have to be perfect, but he needs to show he's worked on it while he's been unable to do more physically intensive training.

My prevailing memory of his career so far is him doing brilliantly to win the ball and then shanking it directly to an opposition player.

Interesting.

Which marking half forward who provides defensive pressure, would you rate more favorably?

He needs to improve his kicking to be the best player he can be.

I have absolutely no interest in arguing with you about how he hypothetically rates against other players.

 

[LB2Snake]

Don‘t remember there ever being a time where anyone questioned Taylor’s commitment or spot in the team. His effort when out there is 150mph. Been absolutely devastated by his body. Every bio mechanic expert would think they could fix him...just hasn’t panned out.

 

[Caracas]

The optimistic approach to Taylor. He is a 26 year old player with X factor who is fit enough to play football today. At this moment in time, he has no issues. He just needs to play well today.

I know he was training down back in the preseason so I will be interested to see where he lines up. I suspect he will get swung around depending on how the game pans out.

Okay, I understand your lack of willingness to put your premise to the test.

I reckon you are magnifying the issue way out of proportion. Carry on.

Garner is a complete butcherer of the ball and always has been, isn’t that common knowledge? Has incredible athletic gifts but can not kick the ball. We have a number of those players. Too many.

Not taking the piss but I have never considered him to be a butcher, given we have a few who could qualify but I wouldn’t count Garns amongst them.

 

[hellas_johnny]

s**t shot at goal but I reckon he's an alright pass

Man, the guy can barely kick a drop punt. Hopefully he gets enough kicks in the second half so you can watch him.

That one looked ok

Nice first up game
And got through well

 

[Mute Point]

Would keep him ahead of Wood but that's not saying much

If he backs up, he gets a contract.

 

[Ether]

On a day where others are slipping and fumbling he one grabs marks, barrels after the ball and tackles hard in his first game in a year. He can just f***in football. Would like to see him get another contract.

 

[rickety]

Has missed a lot of footy and looked almost upset after that, certainly deflated. Imo. Showed a lot more grunt and "I wanna hurt blokes" than most. Imo.

 

[SammyRoo]

Other than a bad handball to opposition thought he was ok.

Actually the bad handball was probably deliberate to fit in with the rest of the team

 

[Devington]

Really really worried about the wisdom of another contract based on injury history alone. However, ignoring that aspect, it was his first game back and he was surprisingly good which bodes well.

Really don't want to get sucked back in to thinking 'what if...', but you never know.

 

[Luke72]

Glass half full, he is a gun and surely is due a decent run injury wise.

 

[MrBlueandWhite]

I'm curious has he ever actually injured his hamstrings during a game? I only ever recall him getting injured in pre season or at training

 

[tazaa]

Excuse the correction but was that meant to be Rowville ?
I’m from the area and saw Roseville and thought he only played around here.

Absolute gun too Taylor. That Rowville junior team had some good players, Patton, Crozier, Garner and a few others that went close.

Yep there was a game I think Rowville versus Noble Park where he dominated. I was there to watch a mate but Garner took the piss that day. A class above and then some.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Needs to be one of the first cut - it is just outrageously poor list mgt that this bloke remains a contracted player.
