OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

He definitely can ice those clutch moments that players like brooks can’t. That is an X factor that is certainly valuable. You have to weigh up that against his personality (the selfishness, the finger pointing at team mates) and the overplaying of his hand (which will improve).
I am not convinced that he is a clutch player. Yes, he wants the ball in those moments but his options are often poor or at the very least low percentage plays.
As a run threat, he is very limited which normally means a crabbing run across field looking for a hole runner, an audacious grubber or pass (cutout or short) all of which tend to be easily covered by the opposition or just hand the ball back.
Last nights “rainbow” pass was something I’d expect any young half to execute given Sloan’s brain explosion - for me Galvin is like a broken clock, is right about twice a day
 
Honestly, that’s just the side you see and hate cos of what he did to us. Would you really care about that trait if he was still here, pulling off match winning plays?
I would. I am under no illusion that we live in the real world and things are never perfect. However, I think that behavior is toxic to an organization. I weed those people of of my business and I raise my kids the opposite.

i forgot about the time he dropped it over the line for us…

Barely anyone on here cared last year, in fact they defended his right to act like that and it was everyone else’s fault that he had to play that way.
Watching opinions turn 180 is quite amusing….

That's not true at all. I hated him when he was here, not straight away obviously, but basically about mid last year his fake smiling and selfish play switched me. Just something about him rubbed me the wrong way. He is the new Craig Field. He gets love from the media trying his heart out in a weak team because he he comes up with some very good plays, and the shit is ignored. He is toeing the line at the dogs and underpaying his hand. You can see on occasions he is desperate to do something unpredictable but is too scared to. The dogs will get the better version of him because he has put himself up in lights so much he simply has no choice to reign himself in. I absolutely believe if Benji tried to restrict his play he would have had a major sook. The bloke is a grub and always has been

I defended him early against you becasue I thought the crap he came up with would be weeded out of his game. By mid last year I couldn't stand the bloke. It was clear he was all about himself

I watched the game and he was average at best , yes he backed up for a try and gave the last pass at the end , but he just seemed to be running around looking for somewhere to be , I quess he will fit in as time goes by , but sexton has played better than him and got dropped, that’s dogs go too , ur good untill we fine someone better then it’s move on
 
After making such a splash last season, I always thought Galvin would suffer from second season syndrome. Throw in all the attention he’s brought upon himself by a change of clubs and his degree of difficulty in 2025 went through the roof.

Beyond this year however, and with an off-season at Canterbury under his belt ... I think he’ll be well on his way to a stellar career.

Although like most on here,
I just don’t see him as a halfback 🥴

I can’t recall condoning that behavior last year. Who’s opinion has turned 180?

"he just seemed to be running around looking for somewhere to be" That's the way I've seen him in each of the dogs games I've seen him in. Maybe trying too hard to be the man. The pressure's on.

I don't know why it's so hard for you to comprehend why opinions have turned.

On the back of 2 spoons he was a breath of fresh air and we were happy to take a risk on him (despite his deficiencies).. we didn't care that he was a hog and didn't play like a premiership winning player... He was on 120k a year...

Then he commenced legal preceedings against the club and weaseled out of his contract.

He is now on more than $1mill a year (with third party payments), so everyone will judge him as a million dollar player.

Pretty simple stuff
 
Dead set who really cares about him anymore?? He is at the Dogs because his parents thought he was a step above West Tigers do not care and do not worry about his playing form. The kid in there KOE cup side Wood is a lot better half back period.

What people forgave last year as they constantly attacked those who pointed this stuff out, is not our problem anymore yet they’ve not only joined the bandwagon, they’ve confiscated control and sped it up.
The only reason to continually mention it is butthurt feelings.
The kid isn’t playing any different than he was last year….and he won’t for a little while longer yet. Canterbury have forecast he will be worth that salary one day, as we did….and he will be.
The point I’m making is that it’s becoming incredibly tiresome to see thread after thread hijacked by fans acting like spurned lovers seeking revenge on a kid many, many years their junior.
Hot tip…you will not receive it. He will succeed because he is a footballer through and through.
Save your energy and your stress levels. You aren’t saying anything that hasn’t been said by a few members on here many multiples of times when it actually mattered - which it no longer does.
 
He's an average first grader at the moment (which is huge for a guy who just turned 20) and barring injury, he'll be a very good player for many years.

Trying to discredit him at this point is just sour grapes. We went all in on the wrong player in Luai and will have to live with it sadly.
