His clearance and contested possession AFL stats aren't so shabby.

Looks like he was moved all over for his first few VFL years.

He seems to have overcome a lot of the concerns from before his draft.

Riley Garcia Draft Profile

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A tough and uncompromising midfielder, Garcia has footy smarts and knows how win the ball in close or on the outside."

Jesus, he bulked up well. He's a solid body type now, started at 70 kgs.

I still want to know wtf that stupid Sam McClure was chirping about re Marshall the other day.

About offers? That’s odd he re-signed for like 6 years or whatever it was

Yeah about other clubs turning his neck I believe was the phrase used.

Maybe Sam missed Marshall's Contract Status: UFA at the end of 2027 ?

17 first round picks should get it done.

Good ol Sam would miss the next bus even if he was staring at the timetable.

Nah just copy the Gresham framework.

We get Stengle. Trigger band 1 for Geelong.

They get Marshall and our second rounder from Adelaide.


We get both first round picks

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Based on history we'd do it for a late first round draft pick and a middle of the road player.
We'd then trade the first round draft pick on a younger, but ineffective ruck man.

 

[crasha301]

It's a smart play by other clubs to come for Marshall and offer some success and potentially a pay rise.

Add Marshall into a top 6 midfield and he'll be AA.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Melbourne again or maybe Hawks and pair up with Meek.

Word is the sub will be scrapped, 5 players on the bench and rotations reduce.

Will be interesting to see how teams have different strategies with the 5th player, Go tall? Go small?

Yeah, but you can't fix stupid - not even with duct tape......

I’m not actually thinking he is correct.

If rotations are reduced you’d want an extra mid.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Yep, got that...

Backing up your point that he's just another glorified gossip columnist.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Would it be weird to use RoMa as a big mid?

No, it's what he does now.

is a terrible player who has just given up the opportunity to play in the next ten premierships:

 

[gringo2011]

Why are we giving up Marshall and picks for a free agent and a pick in the 20s?

 

[Saints43]

I once asked why RoMa couldn't start at the centre bounce with Ryder and plugger66 said I was the "dopiest bloke ever to have access to the internet" or something.
And I still feel he may have been right.

I’m old enough to remember in the late 70’s we sometimes went with Ditterich, Sarau, Sidebottom, etc in the same team and often 2 of them would start in the middle at a centre bounce after a goal was scored. Brute force clearances were more allowed then than now though.

It was the go to play a big as a ruck rover back in the day. As always it depends on the player, some have the mobility and skills to pull it off others would be a liability.

Marshall is mobile for a ruckman but as a midfielder not so much. One of our problems is that our midfield is slow. It won’t get any quicker by putting Marshall in by there. Might as well get Dunstan back.
Marshall gets a lot of clearances by grabbing the ball out of the ruck and kicking it forward. If he wasn’t in the ruck he would lose that.
