Talent will only get you so far

In a team enviroment character is a really important attribute

You have me stumped .

Now's not the time to be taking a risk on someone like Garlett.

We'd be better off playing it safe and taking someone who might not be quite as talented, but we know would committ to getting the best out of themselves.

Still plenty of other fish in the sea. Colquhoun, Haynes, Pongracic, Boston, Taylor, Ballard etc....

I'd never draft someone who calls himself Dayle

With such bad spelling he would be too high a risk

Who can argue with that rationale?

The Y along with the cigarette means a no from me now.

Forget about all that ability and skill.

And he's a witch.

That ships already sailed, the last 5yrs have been nothing but a soap opera.

And some clowns want that to continue...

Not to mention, being completely unable to recognise when the ship has turned.

One cigarette could burn our ship down .

Best to let him rack up a Brownlow elsewhere .

Now where's my red nose and funny wig.

Someone in another thread said they saw (and spoke briefly to) Todd Viney in Perth yesterday.

Possibly maybe could've been there to speak with Garlett?

I reckon if Dayle got sat down in a room with Chris Dawes, Grimesy, Big Mitch, Todd and Neeldy and was read the riot act it would have to have a serious impact on him.

It's a far cry from the days of Green, Moloney, Aaron, Bruce and Bails ....

If you have ever had to deal with people who have problems in their life be it drugs, alcohol, commitment, realising their potential in any endeavour, whatever the issues and I don't profess to know what his are, then you will know that it is entirely up to them to turn their lives around. They will tell you what they want you to hear but in the end it's all BS. Neeld, Clark, Viney no matter who they are have absolutely no impact on a personal decision and are only useful once the person makes the decision, truly makes the decision and shows by actions then they can provide the support and infrastructure to help.

You don't think Carlton had a bunch of heavy hitters try to talk with Fev, ask the boys at North if Denis Pagan was a lightweight, Ian Collins. You reckon big Jono Brown is not a scary enough unit at Brisbane, Vosy anyone. Dimmer is facing the same issues at the Tiges, didn't save Martins mate.

I have faith our recruiting department will know if Garlett is worth a go, looking at his interview post draft it doesn't look like he has a clue and is only blowing wind up...having an ex copper to investigate and ask questions is a real plus for us I think. To me he needs a year or 2 at state level stepping up to the mark as a player and solid citizen.

Good luck to Essendon if they go down this path, they should have learned their lesson already.

We won a total of 4 games this season, wake me up when the ship has docked. :wacko:

And if he stuffs up in February and we've sacked him before the season even begins we're left with only three rookies and one less player on our list.

High risk, high reward which we're not in a position to entertain.

To use a cricketing analogy. It's Day 1 of a Test Match at Sabina Park and we've been sent in to bat on a green top with Curtley Ambrose and Courtney Walsh steaming in.

If they pitch one up on a good length just outside off stump we need to let that go through to the keeper and take the shine off the new ball before playing any extravagant drives through cover and risk edging it to the slips or the keeper if you get where I'm coming from......?

Err... Straight thru to the keeper?

Was me. Unfortunately it was just as he was boarding so I didn't get to ask any questions.

Can't imagine he would've told me the truth anyway.

Here is another slant on him-but he may already be another Indigenous Bomber by now.

"He told me as he left, 'if I have another 12 months at Swans, I just have to be the best player at the club'," football manager Phil Smart said.

Can't you see 'Bif', he just doesn't get it. Everyone knows he can play football, the point is they don't know if he is capable of pulling his head in and making it as an AFL footballer.

What the harm in getting him on a rookie list train him harder than anyone else lay down the law that this is his one and only chance coz no one else will take him and if he stuffs up pi$$ him off .drug test him a different day each week keep him guessing. I'm pretty sure there are a fair few players out on the pi$$ and have a smoke in the off season.and there are a few on the gear too look at Liba jr

He may sort himself out, he may prove to be a top 10 pick after all, but not at the MFC. Wrong time, wrong coach, wrong club

Go read the 4 pillars thread and you'll see why he's not for us, he only meets one requirement.

The harm could be a lot, keep banging on with nonsense all you want but he won't be in red and blue next year, not gonna happen. I don't understand where you lot get the idea that we have a culture strong enough to pull blokes like Garlett into line, we haven't even got there with Sylvia yet.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
