Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Riley Garcia
Riley played in the scratch match and pulled up well.
Some vision of him here.
Moves quite well for a small bloke, and hopefully will get a chance to play early next year.

I imagine it would be quite difficult to be drafted if you are a small bloke that doesn't move well?

Bingo! PI, we are giving up Pick 72, which is 19 points. (It might be less owing to COVID, but you can't hold that against us)
So we've given up 19 points we don't need this year to secure Garcia last year. I'm assuming the club is very happy with this.

That's great work considering the high praise Garcia has been getting internally and even on here.

I just put up that Keath has cost us Picks 45 & 60.
Sam Power is on a high level of consciousness than everyone else. He just doesn't mess his lines.

Any chance Sam can sort out the current China trade fiasco?

I like to think of Sam Power as the Vladimir Putin, pulling the strings across the globe/AFL!

I know Sam has been very good, but I'm not sure even he could find a real leader in the political landscape.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Riley Garcia
What expectations do we set on Garcia?
TBH given his knee and the VFL comp being scrapped last year I hope we go easy on him. As long as he shows some good traits at VFL level (the way VDM got a few of us excited with his 2019 VFL form) I'd call that a real pass mark.

He got to the Jordan Sweet emergency list at the end of the season which indicates he was making some progress.
I suspect he will be ready to play senior football early next year. 3 to 5 senior games would be my pass mark for him and we will potentially be a hard to team to get a senior game at

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs Riley Garcia
Wasn't he talked about as probable first round if not for the ACL? From memory he is a WA lad, so MJP will almost certainly know more.

He has far more important things to do.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I would be happy if he got to play a few games next year, probably in the second half to give him a taste. If he plays more, that means he is travelling well, or we have too many injuries.
