Dayle Garlett

[monoccular 16,634]

This bloke standing at the feet of Clark, Dawes, and Hogan is a mouth-watering prospect. Everyone on here says 'Oh, we need small forwards'... yet, have reservations about picking him. Yeah, he has had some issues in the past, but it looks like he has woken up to himself.

That said though, I can't see him making it to Pick 40. I'd see one of the WA clubs picking him before that... although, it might be best for him to get out of that state.

IF Roos applies the "Roos NO BS test" and he comes through, why not? Roos isn't going to take him unless he is confident: doesn't make too many errors picking smokerys.

but his bong and bourbon stats are right down.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

He has become a Mormon and will be requesting an allowance for his 4 wives.

Apart from the baggage hitherto mentioned ,I read that he is off the Winnies and Bourbons.

The kid is an extremely popular person where he lives and is very well liked .

I suspect the Eagles and the Dockers will be spreading rumours that he is the new Kieth Richards so as to snaffle him up in the draft.

Has anyone got footage of the film Bran Nue Dae?

I am hnadicapped in the upload dept ,and others.

If he's the new Keith Richards, definitely draft him.

That guy's a legend.

[ThreeOneSix 953]

He will be well gone by 40.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Well worth the risk if he's available at our pick. Getting him out of his home environment will help to keep him on the straight and narrow and not too many kids would misbehave when they have Chris Dawes, Mitch Clark, Nathan Jones and Daniel Cross to answer to. He could be the final piece in our forwardline.

[monoccular 16,634]

but his bong and bourbon stats are right down.

Well, if those stats are down then he should be considered.

Be perfect for the Bombers

Garlett at pick 40 is a must (if he is available).

The best quick small forward available to us at that pick I believe is what we require. That or a key back.

The kids f&$ked up...so what, take the punt, forget the past...seriously...what have we got to lose!

[Demon_Tingles 211]

He won't be there at pick 40. If he is then it is a steal. Even if the kid had some issues Mitch Clark will give him a whack around the ears if he plays up. Plus I for one am over the goody goody two shoes players

[InVINCEable 358]

Garlett is most definitely that small crumbing forward that we need, but i don't think he will last to pick 40.

[CatFishPig 435]

From Herald Sun.. I'm seriously hoping we are into him and he slips to pick 40..

Will Dayle Garlett get drafted?
Earlier in the year, it was a resounding yes, but clubs remain nervous about drafting the silky midfield-forward from WA. On talent, he might be top-15. A smooth-moving outside runner who has shades of Harley Bennell, kicking almost 50 goals in the WAFL seniors this year. But defensively he can be poor and many clubs, such as West Coast, have again put a line through his name. In our view, he is worth taking the chance, at a strong club, with a late pick. There will be lots of busts from this year's draft. His best chance might be at Geelong or Hawthorn.

[MadAsHell 4,089]

If he's there at PSD Pick 2 I'd take the punt. Otherwsie I'd be just as happy to go with Chris Cain, Jarrod Stokes, Willie Rioli or Chris Michaelidis.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

We are not in a position to "take a punt"- we still need midfielders. If you need a little reminder about that I invite you to cast your mind back to Jurrah over Rockliff decision, and how that gamble payed off for us..

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Bloke can kick goals and that's nice. How many goals will be leaked getting hurt the other way?

And is he the sort of character to work hard on his game and add a defensive component. If the evidence suggests that he won't then he won't be selected by a Roos lead club.

a nice project for for Roos, VIney and Stone

hope we get him at pick 40

[Bay Riffin 1,430]

but his bong and bourbon stats are right down.

Highlights reel underwelming I feel, except for some long kicks for goal. That whole package reeks of softness. good we he gets a run at it, but not impressive when in contested situations, and that his highlights package. looks the type to go to watyer if someone sticks on him.

nowhere near the talent of a Jurrah for instance in pure football terms, except maybe kicking.

[Machsy 2,858]

We've got enough projects already.

Hope he gets overlooked altogether.

[Demoneyes 562]

I say give him a go. He is only 19. Remember a young Jeff Farmer?

[Machsy 2,858]

Relevance?

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

He's a completely different type of 'project'.

He can seriously play which everyone knows. He has already stated that living in WA with his mates makes it harder for him to really settle. If anything, he needs to get to another state and at least get on a list and be given a shot.

I would rather take the chance on someone like him coming to our club and us being able to curb that side of his personality than to continue to try and squeeze everything out of the countless talentless players we still have kicking around.

Pick 40 to big a risk, there's still some good players around at 40. (Cameron Giles, Mitch Honeychurch)

I'd only take him if we were looking at a bargain basement price of Pick 94 (if we use it) or PSD Pick 2.

You don't think he'd still consume a lot of time and resources, if he's going to be able to turn it around?

Time and resources that we need to pour into our entire list at this stage?

You could reel off the names that need guidance that we already have... Will Garlett get the time put into him that he needs to not be another wasted talent?

[corowa 216]

But he will be there at pick 9! Hopefully we won't use that on him, but going on past performances, who knows?

No ....... a new CEO, a new coach, new found professionalism. It couldn't happen.
