Have played against Garrett in the NFNL since we were kids and the last 5 years seniors before he went to VFL. Destroyed us everytime we played them.
Very much an outside player… but is extremely good at being an outside player. Will come to Essendon and be in the top 5 kicks.
Expect a lot of 50-60m goals.
Also he is super fit. Will prob win our time trial next week. Massive tank.

So many positives attributes from his highlights.
Plus, truck and cara know him, and our deficiencies, and they want him on our list, so I will back them in all day every day. I suspect that they think he wouldn’t have been around to rookie and the meltdown over on the Richmond board seems to back this up.
I do think jackets was p!ssed with Draper but, that’s draft night. Truck didn’t seem at all concerned.

Does Truck ever seem concerned on the outside though?

He only played at Richmond for a year so no Truck or Cara connection.

Have watched him play quite a bit.
Super quick, good endurance, booming kick.
Would have been drafted by Richmond a couple of years ago, except he broke his wrist and missed second half of that season.

Interesting.
Richmond supporters (who… you know… might actually have seen him play) rate him and are disappointed we picked him.
The few posters on here who’ve seen him play, think he goes alright and has attributes which will suit us.
A vocal bunch of whining schoolgirls on here who’ve never seen him play and wouldn’t know him if he bobbed up in their morning weet-bix are loudly piissing and moaning.
Like I said… interesting…

The list is seriously lacking outside mids with elite kicking.
The age profile is quite odd, but the skillset he addresses makes perfect sense.

Magnificent kick and great to have a Garrett on the list. Should help with our veteran leadership.

If Hobbs was an upgrade on Clarke, maybe Garret is an upgraded Ham.
Good kicking is good footy. I’m onboard.
