His time on The Bachelorette and also Bachelor In Paradise might not have resulted in him finding love but it was certainly filled with sniping, heated remarks and plenty of back-and-forth.
On Sunday at Apex Oval when the Garlick-led Glebe Burwood Wolves took on Dubbo CYMS in the Presidents Cup there was much of the same.
No moment was bigger than when CYMS' Wade Kavanagh mouthed off and gave away a penalty when his side was in possession, one which led to the Wolves scoring and building what turned out to be a match-winning lead midway through the second half.

Garlick praised his side for keeping their composure for much of the contest while adding the chat on the field was something he'd really noticed in recent weeks.
"There's a lot of talk in this competition," the Wolves captain said after Sunday's four-point win.
"A lot of teams have given away penalties when they've had the ball so we've got to keep that discipline in the back of our minds as well."
Penalties and officiating was one of the real talking points after the game.
Fishies captain-coach Jarryn Powyer said he felt sorry for teammates Jyie Chapman after he was penalised twice for high shots despite there appearing to be plenty of contact with the shoulders on both occasions.
The battle between Chapman and his opposite centre Addison Demetriou was one of the highlights of the game.
The Wolves man got a number of chances to attack the line due to a string of CYMS penalties, plenty of which came around the ruck.
The visitors went on to win 32-28 and Powyer said coming to grips with the Sydney-based officials is something his side is still working on.
"I just wish we had bush footy refs," a frustrated Powyer said with a wry smile.
"That's something we've got to lift our game to. It's more about the wrestle speed of the game and there was a few good shots."
While extremely disappointed to suffer a fourth defeat from five matches in the Presidents Cup, there was still a lot Powyer was proud of on Sunday.
Nothing more so than his players' willingness to take on the Wolves pack time and time again despite being vastly out-sized.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," he said.
"I love being a smaller team and written off through sheer size.
"Any one who watched that today might see they had a better wrestle than us but with physical contact we were right there with them.
"We love that and it's what bush footy is about."
CYMS has the bye next weekend before back-to-back home games against Wentworthville and the Thirroul Butchers.
