AFL career

Garner debuted as a sub against Adelaide in round 20 of 2013. He made his first start in North's final game of that season against Collingwood at the MCG. In a 2014 Nab Challenge fixture against Geelong at Kardinia Park, Garner suffered a debilitating hamstring injury. He would miss the entire 2014 season after suffering setbacks in addition to unrelated hip injuries.

Garner's injury troubles continued into the start of the 2015 season. Once he was eventually cleared of his hamstring and hip concerns, Garner subsequently sustained a broken finger injury, further delaying his return. After a short stint in the VFL, Garner was a shock inclusion in North Melbourne's round 15 game against Geelong. Garner was selected as sub and came on to score two goals. Garner kept his place in the senior side for the rest of the season including during North's finals series. In the first elimination final against Richmond, in front of 90,168 people, Garner kicked an important goal. Late in the match he was subbed out for Lindsay Thomas, and North won the match. Garner also played in the subsequent semi-final win against Sydney, and preliminary final loss against West Coast at Subiaco. In 2017 Garner was also nominated for mark of the year in a game against Fremantle.

After eight years at North Melbourne, Garner was delisted at the conclusion of the 2021 AFL season. [2]

The history of the Adelaide Football Club dates back to their founding in 1990, when the Australian Football League (AFL) approved a license application by the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) to base a new club out of Adelaide, South Australia in the expanding AFL competition. The club also operates a side in the AFL Women's competition, which held its first season in 2017.

The 2018 Adelaide Football Club season was the Adelaide Football Club's 28th season in the AFL. It was also its second season in the AFL Women's and its 5th season fielding a reserves team in the SANFL. The men's team started the season successfully, winning the inaugural Adelaide AFLX competition.

The West Coast Eagles are an Australian rules football team based in Perth, Western Australia. Their 2021 season was their 35th season in the Australian Football League (AFL), their eighth season under premiership coach Adam Simpson, and their second season with Luke Shuey as captain. Having finished in the top eight every season since 2015, it was expected that West Coast would do the same in 2021. They won eight of their first thirteen matches, including an unexpected win against Port Adelaide, and a 97-point thrashing by Geelong, placing them seventh on the ladder before their midseason bye. They continued on to lose seven of their remaining nine matches, including a 92-point loss to Sydney, and their first Western Derby loss since 2015, causing them to finish ninth, missing finals.
