Ongoing hamstring troubles stunted Quinton Narkle's chances to suit up in the ones early in the year but as soon as the opportunity arose he seized it with both hands, posting two formidable 90+ scores across three weeks. While his output dwindled in the finals, he'd already made a name for himself thanks to a Brownlow vote-polling performance in round 21. Narkle is one for the watchlist throughout the preseason. With more kilometres in the legs, another summer in the gym and his injury troubles hopefully behind him, he'll be knocking on the door with intent. He is every chance to do something flashy in the Marsh series and creep up draft boards to be late-round smoky.
Narkle just twinkles

You'll go far, Narkle
Following a strong month in Geelong’s seconds, Narkle got the call-up to the seniors in round 15 last season. His debut showing was impressive, kicking two goals to go with 14 touches and six tackles, but his stats dropped off thereafter. The crumbing forward is also a ready-made inside midfielder, but that’s no easy feat in the Cats engine room. Narkle will push for a regular spot in Geelong’s best 22 and, if given enough opportunity, is every chance to increase his stats in his second campaign. For those who have faith in Narkle getting more midfield time in 2019 thanks to Gary Ablett jnr spending more minutes forward, the blonde bull could prove to be a rewarding bench option with a late pick.
Too far, Narkle
Hamstring and knee injuries restricted Quinton Narkle to only two VFL games in his first listed season. It would have been too early for fantasy coaches to pick Narkle anyway. He will resume in the magoos.
