It was always a high risk, high reward strategy to recruit Dayle. At pick 38 and with Hawthorn's list one well worth taking.

Agreed - and it seems far from over. Seems like he has taken a sensible approach. (not like he has been skipping training or partying all night... right?)

He has plenty of time to get his head straight - and everyone deserves second chance.

    It sounds like that he has gotten on the front foot and that has earned him so brownie points.

    As was said earlier, if he was found out on the gas and on the gear (not making accusations, just listing a football cardinal sin) when he wasn't supposed to be then I would say he would be in for a world of hurt.
    Hawthorn has a culture strong enough to help him through. We are developing one but right now, it's probably a good thing we didn't pick Dayle.

    Just imagine the criticism if the MFC had taken him with pick 38.

    "demons culture ruins potential star" would be one headline.

    But at Hawthorn it is painted as a positive story.

    Maybe he would be excelling at the Dee's. WFKnows...

    Kids got enormous talent, as did Jurrah.

    Garletts adjusted his lifestyle and excelled at WAFL level so there's no reason he can't do the same at AFL level.

    The media smell blood and make it worse than it might seem.

    Knowing the Hawks I am sure Garlett will come good at some stage! They rarely have things go pear shaped on them.

    No, they do. It's just success covers up most things. I would be surprised if Garlett is still on a list in the next year or two but good luck to him.

    They managed to keep Buddy Franklin performing while he was there. And seemingly on two strikes for the whole of his playing career there.

    That's gotta be a miracle.

    Perhaps they reckon they've got this.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
