OFFICIAL Lachlan Galvin #277 *Released* Career Discussion.

Lachie was more hype and potential over reality the dogs are starting to realise. I havent seen a half succeed with a poor kickibg and passing game.

All fair points but I think it’s also fair to recognise that the there is a vast difference between Galvin at the Tigers & Galvin at the Dogs. Some of the stuff he was doing straight out of high school was pretty incredible & I think we were all rightly excited by him. Even last year he had already racked up 10+ try assists by the time he left us.

Funnily enough I actually think the biggest difference is coaching (ironic isn’t it) Benji allowed him to play with confidence & just play eyes up footy which suits his game to a tee. Ciro & the Bulldogs attack is very structured so trying to play ad lib footy does not work in that system. It’s clear that Galvin does not suit that structure & when he does try to play that eyes up footy no one is there with him because the attack is so structured.

Agree with you. I also think he is playing out of position, he isn’t a halfback currently.
He is predictable and looks to have totally lost that off the cuff style play.

He’s one kid I will death ride . As he’s not humble , he’s not a good bloke and his dad is worse . I don’t have any empathy for disloyalty .
I never had an issue with him saying he didn’t rate Benji if that’s what the real issue is .
But I’m just gonna say it , the real reason I heard on the grape vine is there was too many Polynesians at the club , and that’s what his real issue was. The implication was he wasn’t going to get a fair go cause he’s white . Which is ridiculous because the god damn team was built around him .
I’ve said it before it all kicked off when we signed the Fainus . And regardless if Latu kicks on in the halves or becomes a victor Radley type and moves to the middle … as if any one who wasn’t a white pointed hood wearing , Nazi flag waving . space cadet would ever not bring the Fainus in. The way Benji has got buy in from them and the May boys is amazing . They all had knocks on them for being shitheads . Which who knows what’s true . I have my real suspicions as to the motivation of those rumours.
It’s to all these , well bullshit a drama , that IMHO forms a real distaste in my mouth . Luke L . He’s on his way to Perth . I hope he kills it . Can’t keep them all. Even TDS, he got a life changing offer from the eels (which is typical eels backroom dealing) , and I don’t really begrudge him as I think Heyward will wear the blues jersey one day , and TDS is at this very moment a poor man’s Jacob liddle . And I think he was reading tea leaves a bit re. The messaging probably changed from “you’re the greatest , next Robbie “ to “you’ve got X Y Z to work on “, and Heyward is only 2 years younger.
Do I wish he didn’t quit mid season . Of course . But I sort of get the club ultimatum around Api , as the big dollar deal was there for him right now , an in 2-3 years there was a real chance Heyward would have gone past him, thus decreasing his value on the market .
But yea …the new facilities at LO should be named the Morrison Galvin Memorial toilet blocks . Haha

Interesting I think Benji is a better coach this year because of what happened last year

Galvin I hated the team revolving around him he had to many touches and it was killing us but he did have some great hero moments less is sometimes more it was bad coaching by Benji

He will be an amazing 13 will play origin just alone on fitness if he gets his tackling up to scratch

This year the team is the team not Galvin is the team
