    Apparently has an offer from Port and the Eagles might have reached out to him.

      I'm not a massive Garcia fan but his non-selection is bordering on ridiculous.
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        Garcia must have given his notice; 34 touches, 2 goals and 17 tackles is a monster game even if he was sloppy in the first half of the VFL. Utterly absurd that he couldn't make the team.

          Yep. Hard to see him playing with us next year.

            BF rumour has it from the west that Garcia has signed with the Dogs for two. I love a good rumour ha

            I would have been tempted to play Keath in this one but yeah our defenders did fairly well last week.

              That’s crazy……. We give him two years (allegedly) to not give him minutes as a sub or promote him after good form. Why would we blow a list spot like that?

                If he has signed then have the ability to play the longer game with him, thats my feel. It was obvious watching him in the VFL that he has been told to work on his defensive game.

                        Who does he replace in the selected team?

                          How are we blowing a list spot? He is only 23 and if he has signed on for a couple more then hopefully he becomes more consistent and is able to hold onto a senior spot. Until then we have a stacked midfield that doesn’t warrant any change for a fringe player. Sure the argument could be he replaces VDM or McNeil but right now they are role players who are obviously doing a job that perhaps Garcia isn’t as good at doing. I don‘t quite get the angst in his non-selection - it is not like he is one of our top liners not getting selected. If he does leave at the end of the year for more opportunities then so be it - certainly West Coast would be a better fit than Port given their midfield, unless Butters comes across to us.

                              Who would you drop? I agree he has played a stellar game, but who that is in the team that he could replace deserved to be dropped?

                                Righto. Not sure how one picks that up. Anyway others are questioning his non-selection thus a rebuttal towards that argument.
