TheGeneral has issued the following commandment...
Why would you even bother to compare Yarran and Garlett?
Garlett isn't as talented as Yarran's wrong foot.
Garlett's kicks lack Yarran's penetration over distance and a body that will fill out.

Thought it a bit harsh and would def say once players are in the club its game on in terms of ability and playing for Carlton. Garlett def got off to a better start in year 1...and we all know Yarran is going to come good in the next 2-3 years.

Is it fair to say Garlett is not even as good as Yarran's left boot or has theGeneral stuck a Richmond boot in his mouth.
 
Garlett had an outstanding first year, and at their stages in development, I have him in the 22 before Yarran. Hopefully this year is a better year for Yarran....

Most sensible posters will sit this out, and point to "we haven't seen enough of Yarran to know"......hence no-one has voted.

Is that evidence in itself?

No.

Garlett's field kicking in his first half dozen games was embarrassing. It got better through the year. His goal kicking was good, from 25m out, but seems to have less penetration than Fisher.

Yarran later in the year (once his family issues had settled down) showed, particularly with the Ants that he has all the tricks.......and that kick on the run vs Bombers that hit the post........magic......almost.

Training would give another strong indication........and the reports are Yarran looks to be one of the best skilled players in our side.

My gut says Yarran > Garlett, but the answer is we just don't know.

Silly poll to try and score points in some immature pissing contest.

A troll by any other name is still a troll.
 
why you made a thread on this is beyond me

please refrain from ever starting a thread again, i can understand a thread which might lack depth or subtance but to start one discussing something someonelse said which was probalby sent in the moment is utter stupidty and shows immaturity beyond belief.

and yarrans left foot would problaby be better in the fututre than garlett :p, yarran is a star in the making when he can get his mindset right, once he has that his natural ablity will just follow, then we can sit back and watch some of his freakish things for a decade.

This thread is bought to you by Spudchamber's think thank for brain melting threads...
 
I will try and be as diplomatic as i can BG2011 but starting threads because you dont like someones opinion on a certain matter is not on, let alone one of OUR own better posters.

All this thread is doing is trying to tell everyone "Look at what TG said about Garlett" and your motive is to win support for yourself by showing TG up and hopefully turning everyone against TG while hoping this thread would turn into a TG bashfest.

Sadly for you it has backfired.

Dont get me wrong i can see where you are coming from but everyone has opinion's that do not allways agree with your own and the need to start threads putting other poster's quotes up to defame them is a bit childish.

If we all did this there would be a thread on Starchamber EVERYDAY!!! :D

Yes, agree it is a bit immature but i'm also sick of the splendini/thegeneral tag team!
So you poked the snake with a stick, but are a little unhappy it's now trying to bite you?

C'mon.

You've done your best to provoke me into arguements that are pointless. You can't cry fowl when those you incite get a little sick of it.

Time to turn the computer off for a week or two, gather your thoughts, and come back.

I liken BF to a pub full of little groups talking about footy.
There are some talking the finer points of the team structure, in amicable discussion......then there are those who are just trying to start a fight.........and many who start as one and rapidly head towards the other.

Which are you?.......and look out, TG is about to bust a bottle over your head.:D

Sort of right and wrong.

Absolutely not trying to garner support Chism but def trying to illustrate that despite the TheGeneral being a required Carlton forum bouncer, he does post a lot of utter tripe without thinking.

And dont worry about TheGeneral, this hardened warrior wont even have had time to stop and read this post, he is on our frontline posting well 'stuff'.

Agree with the sentiment tho, not one of my better thread starts :club:
 
Garlett is performing better than Yarran at this stage. You would hope they both manage to switch it on in the next 2 years and start pressuring Betts for his spot, because I can't see Yarran making it into our midfield in the next 5 years.
 
I think if you read 90% of posts back carefully you might see Splendini tracking my posts with like 1 exception.
We can see who tracks what posts? :confused:

Do you mean he has replied to you in 90% of posts?
 
Not a fan of starting threads to single out other posters. If you take every statement to the end of its literal life, not too much would stand up on these boards.

Thread closed with a recommendation that posters work out their personal beefs via PM or outside of BF.
