OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I know we're enjoying Galvin not going well but we have well and truly proven how valuable he is by our absolutely abysmal form since he left. He's obviously struggling at a new club but it's obvious he was pivotal to us. Again, I wish that were not the case and we could prove how we're better off without him. Unfortunately that's not the case.

Maybe we can show something at the back end of our season and prove it otherwise, but I bet he's looking back at our club feeling nothing but relief that he's not a part of this developing train wreck. Sorry to be so negative. But losing and gloating doesn't really work.

I think there are some things he brings to a team that are hard to articulate. It's no coincidence that our season fell apart after we put out that statement regarding him leaving. I don't think these two things are connected via footy though. I think the disharmony he brought to the entire club is more of a factor than his playing ability.

What he did bring football-wise is the ability to execute a three-pass shift from our own half which quite often got us out of trouble. I haven't seen us do that since he left. It was why we lost the Warriors game - we had no territory.

Can you break this down a bit more? Like, what was Galvins role in this?

Galvin was either the 2nd or 3rd receiver in a lot of those shifts. It would often be May to Luai to Galvin to either centre and then a line break. The upside of his play style is that he throws everything at the wall, even shit. The biggest trap you can fall into as a half is letting the hooker take control and have the game pass you by. Galvin at least tries something every set which can often be to the detriment of the team if the opposition shut it down quickly.

3rd of August all i want to see is Skelton snap Galvin in two ,
just like he did to Taine Tuaupiki , when we played against the
Warriors.

Thanks for that. Hopefully Luai can play that role this week.

Dogs will be fine, they have plenty of talent in that team and Galvin will have his usual game rocks and diamonds.

God I’m entirely torn- i want to see the Dogs fail with Galvin but it’s better for us if the Dragons get beaten! What to do???

I dunno. My grandma used to say 'shoot them all and let God work it out'.
That might be a bit extreme though

Wasn't our worst loss against the Storm with him playing? And all our losses and wooden spoon last yr?

My one wish for this year is the dogs fail to make the grand final ,it was because Galvin stuffed up , and he never ever gets to win a grand final . I know it hateful, but after what his family and manager and Galvin done to our club , I can never forgive him

My sentiments exactly - Burton gets dogs home with a FG in Golden point - Galvin stifles their attack and is outplayed by Kyle.

 

[Charred]

Makes a lot of sense from the dogs POV to bite the bullet on Galvin now rather than later. Dragons haven’t been fairly poor this year (even lost to us!) so it’s a pretty low-risk gamble the dogs are taking.

Chances are dogs win this game as their team is overall far superior to the dragons and the media feasts all over Ciraldos brilliant move to put Galvin at halfback, even though the result likely would have been the same had Sexton played 🤷‍♂️.

 

[diedpretty]

Dragons by 8 😂

hope not - we need the top sides to keep beating the sides we are in a race with to avoid bottom 4

having said - hope its a doggies win by 1 with Galvin having a shocker

Why are so many people so invested in another team's player?
He'll be a success, but who cares?
He's gone.
Do you all lay awake at night wondering how Moses Mbye is going?

It will wear off. Just like it did when Moses left mid season.

What Moses did to us will never "wear off" with me and i would say there are more than a few of our supporters who would feel the same.

Yeah that’s the best way. They can win but it doesn’t mean they have to win well and Galvin can have a shit game, though the media will still somehow attribute the win to him 🙄 Hopefully he’ll get hooked at some stage so they can’t.

 

[mtd#2]

Ciraldo and Gus will get away with it if things don’t work out because the Bulldogs will successfully spin the narrative—they’ve got mouthpieces in the media. Gus has Channel 9 and Braith at Fox. 9 will never question it, and while Braith might, he also picks up the phone to Ciraldo, so he’s close to the situation either way.

It really comes down to how hard the rest of the media are willing to dig into them... And how vocal their fans get...
