Clearly the d...ckh....d factor didn't work in his favour but the kid is reputed to be immensely talented. This is not Dan Connors we're talking about.

Should we consider rookie-ing him or picking him up in the PSD?

Worth consideration ...

Doesnt fit the 4 pillars system

if he is so talented that he was considered a top 15 pick then his off-field issues must be pretty worrying. The fact that every club didn't want a bar of him in all of the 80 odd picks i think speaks volumes!

Posted

Not surprised someone started a thread given his reported ability, but based on the "pillars" the club is using to assess the types of players they want we won't even consider him. So it won't happen....end of discussion!

What has the kid done that is so bad. On talent he should be a top 10 pick from what I have read. I can understand him falling a bit, but not to be picked up amazes me.

Would I take the punt and rookie him? Hell yes. Sure I only have a small idea of the whole picture, but on risk versus reward, I would do it in a heartbeat.

What's he done that's so good? MFC supporters know better than any others that talent isn't enough and I'm talking about young blokes who haven't been kicked out of the AIS academy. The fact that 18 clubs passed multiple opportunities to get him tells me all I need to know.

I saw that picture posted yesterday, nice look that and just before the draft he must have a death wish. Sometimes you just have to walk away from some kids, Richmond tried to straighten out Troy Taylor but he just didn't want it enough.

he is an amazing talent and someone i think would be worth the risk. set him up with a good mentor such as rodan, davey or even dawesy and he may be able to turn his life around and become a great player. the change in scenery may also remove him from previous distractions, allowing him to focus more on his football

Big no doesn't want it enough have seen him many times and don't believe he has the hunger to play AFL! Wants everything on his own terms

He has a terrible attitude. If you can find the link to his instagram account, you will see countless photos of him smoking, getting [censored], and worse... Anyone who is partying like that clearly doesn't have the dedication and desire to knuckle down to be a professional athlete. I'm guessing if that's what the public can see, imagine what the recruiters found when they interviewed him and did background research about him. He is certainly a talented footballer, but no club would take a risk on someone with an attitude like that. He will need to knuckle down and earn his way from here if he really wants to play football.

Cross-post from another thread as to why he wasn't drafted. Is it possible to have drug strikes before you're even drafted?

You can't really make someone want it though. And if Garlett really did want to make a career out of footy, he wouldn't do stupid things like pose for that photo.

we should rookie list him.

Get Neeldy down his throat.

He might potentially be worth the risk..

although we dont usually do great with Aboriginals (wona, Jurrah), granted Wona was a different issue. Just cant secure the good ones.

Lets give him a go i think

Garlett is a good football player.

Garlett is not a professional athlete.

is it possible to work someone into becoming one?

personally i think it is, but what do you think?

It's not an issue of possibility, more an issue of whether it is probable and at what odds.

If we were better established, stronger and stable then 'maybe', but we are not

projects we just don't need at the moment

No chance. Have a look at the bigfooty thread.

No one will pick him up after he posted photos of himself on Instagram with his eye popping out of his head titled #cooked.

I'm tipping #cooked means high on drugs.

AFL career = over before it started

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
