I know he is young and in his first year but I think its fair to say with Ben Silvagni that the stories about him not caring too much about being an AFL footballer may be been somewhat accurate. He runs around like he CBF. Nothing like Jack who leaves everything on the ground. Time will tell but he is  a very long way off being AFL standard.
Agree

Garlett is weak as p1ss.

Watch 5min mark in the in dispute in the centre of ground in third quarter. Disgusting.

Too lacomic and lazy and club must cut its loses with these sorts. Polson is harder but has no skill set and no clue at all.

Enough patience shown. Enough chances.

We got to hear Fraser's 3/4-T address, take away space, do not give them even 1/2m because they take it! Then at the very first bounce there were 3 loose CheatsFC players, that not a coaching problem!

I suspect a few of our kids are full of themselves, it could be a symptom of gifting undeserved games to kids!

FFS, like we can afford to drop Daisy to make a point, drop the other 21 and keep Daisy, or perhaps tell the others to go and get on the piss with Daisy for a night or two!

Yes, its awful. Midfield struggling to get much penetration and little space being made. Skills pretty average. 40 odd points for a full game ain't great

No wonder so many of the senior fringe players sleep easy at night.
Nothing coming up to push them out.

Polson, O’Brien, Garlett, McCreadie, lebois, lobbe not even reserve grade let alone pushing for seniors.

4 years into full rebuild - would expect to have some depth by now.

i think losing Tom Wilson was a big, big loss for the 2s....

And we have a fair few out overall eg Simmo, Murph, the new kid from Subiaco, Jones etc. Even Pickett &Doc... it all adds up.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

This is a real concern. There is absolutely  nothing in the 2s.

Worse than that, we played against a squad that was 50% full of top ups!

I thought the same at the time. I would never play him again after watching that.

Absolutely, no desire from him at any stage during his Carlton career

Pretty sure he is out of contract this year anyway.
