Dayle Garlett

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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
