Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on McGarry.
Judged on this season alone, McGarry graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 32 full-backs in the A-League, on 6 clean sheets and 4.012 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 33). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 15, 20th of 32 of the 32 full-backs in the A-League. At 28 McGarry is in his prime years, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — McGarry is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 15.4, McGarry carries the 20th-highest potential of the full-backs in the A-League of 32, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Brisbane Roar finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 22–27 (~2), then tapers with age. At 28, McGarry sits on 0.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is McGarry's projected Rating — 15.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
