RILEY GARCIA

Garcia has been incredibly unlucky to not play more senior football in 2024, and is in rare air with his stat lines in the VFL this season. Clearly far too good to be playing reserves, the 23-year-old is the victim of the Bulldogs’ senior side midfield being so strong; stuck behind Marcus Bontempelli, Tom Liberatore and Adam Treloar – not to mention the rise of Ed Richards on-ball. Born and bred in Western Australia, Garcia will naturally be talked about as a trade target for the Dockers and Eagles to poach. But the likes of Port Adelaide could also benefit from his services, and have previously been flagged as a club with interest in him. There’s definitely a world where Garcia stays put at Whitten Oval, but as a player in high demand he is well within his rights to assess his options elsewhere.


 
Played 12 games. high half forward his best role but as I said gets thrown around by Bevo

Played well against Brisbane Pies & Kicked a couple against Sydney. reading some comments most dogs fan were surprised got dropped.

Think he couple be this year's Sharp

As I said above,
If the club feels he will have impact in the AFL than Winder, Matt Johnson (Frankston) and he fills a need then I am all for it.

I just don't think he does.

Worth a read to keep us busy until trade period starts.
 
That was a horrible moment. Hard to forgive that from a senior player.

What made it infinitely worse was Fyfe had done something similar the game or two prior. You just KNOW the whole team would’ve spoken about it in review and Longmuir was clearly irate with the Fyfe one.

Then old mate does the exact same thing.
 
Looking at the stats, I'd say Garcia is a better trade target than Liam Baker.

Younger, cheaper, (both salary & capital).

Dare you to post that on the Baker thread though.

They can get Stringer without losing Warner. Petracca would have been about the only player who could have shaken Warner loose. Maybe a good version of Oliver, but he is damaged goods now.
Or a Saintly King.

Longmuir was irate with the umpires, not Fyfe. I was at that game and everyone in the crowd went berserk at the decision because Fyfe clearly had no idea it was a free kick. Fyfe is about the last person in the competition to be trying to take an advantage in the F50 due to the lack of faith he now has in his own skills.

Maybe, i think the 600k a year makes it tricky going off Beatson.

I know I shouldn't read too much into these things.

However.

in the past when talking about contracted or uncontracted players that may be looking to move, he's been very strong and front foot.

He seemed hesitant and quick to pass off "not my job anymore" on Warner.

And, "are you bringing anyone in"

"Salary cap is tight as you might guess so not unless something changes..."
 
Yeah but look at who he has in front of him kicking goals, we need small forwards that can go in the middle like Switta.
Weightman and West. Bulldogs actually need small forwards since Garcia / Macrae aren't the answer and if Weightman is injured they just don't have the crumbling firepower to compliment their talls.

He's not breaking into our midfield either so the speed and touches don't really do anything for us.
