Dayle Garlett in Custody

[chook fowler 19,459]

he certainly has taken dickheadedness to another level.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,865]

He should seek mentoring from Liam Jurrah to get him on the straight and narrow.

The kids on a mission to hit rock bottom. I hope he finds it before he's dead, but it seems the best case scenario is he'll find it in jail.

Hawthorn made a rare error sticking their neck out for this kid. Hindsight's 20/20 but he didn't last long.

[Adzman 2,154]

What a sad story. He was as gifted as they come.

[Axis of Bob 11,836]

We should draft him. He's got heap of talent and an AFL environment would really help him get his life back on track.

Besides, I'm so sick of Melbourne drafting choir boys.

Exactly what I was thinking this year but Hawthorn beat us to the punch when they iced him with pick #38 in the draft only 2 picks ahead of our choice at #40.

Kid's definitely got speed.

Without wanting to start any racial slanging match and I premise this comment with a note that I do not know a whole heap about aboriginal communities so I'd be happy for someone to give me real facts..

We regularly are told of kids heading back home to their remote small communities, and often hear how close and family oriented they are which makes me beg the question, how do they let kids like this.. Get like this?! These elders of the community must take some responsibility for these lads running amok. Jurrah heading home and us watching his life completely fall away by the wayside is just another example of a man who was seemingly flourishing in a stable environment and has gone home with no one to put any sort of brakes on his behaviour. It's truly hitting such a devestating stage because in such a media headline driven sport world we live in now, these bad stories do get far more publicity than the good deeds of others.. But the words of Matt Rendell do still ring true to an extent.

This one in particular is just truly sad, because by all reports he did and always had one dream to play AFL footy, but the grog won the battle in good vs evil. Can't help but draw parallels with famous celebs over the years who's lives have fallen away in front of our eyes ala Amy Winehouse, fingers crossed he sorts his life out before its too late... Too many more videos going 200 down the middle of the road and it won't be long

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Garlett from the remote, small, distant community of Perth?

Another h_h stupid comment. If he was your friend or relative you'd be taking a different line. Show some consideration for a guy whose life is at the crossroads instead of blurting your usual cheap shots.

I appreciate your feeling but as I get older I am getting less tolerant.

To be honest I am more concerned about the risk he poses to other people than what happens to him.

[jazza 1,323]

Being from the country,we dont see a lot of the fallout from drugs down this way.

But speaking to a neighbours kid about his new hoochy gooch drug called "ice",She said its only just started to take off in Australia and we are in for 10 years of house breaking,car jacking ,severe prostitution and many other senseless crimes.

the cost on the community is already enormous and will grow 10 fold.

We as a group of people should do everything we can to help these poor buggers who fall for this rotten "ice" drug.

Its a health issue that needs a massive amount of funding to destroy this growing disease.

This. He's an adult, he knows what he's doing & is responsible for his own actions. Waste of space, putting others at risk & (if the car really was stolen) stealing & messing with innocent people's lives. I'd rather he go before he hurts someone else, he obviously has no care for others so I don't understand why others give a rats about him.

...and Amy Winehouse was from a small backwater called London.

I think 'Arrow' was a little unfocussed but I agree with him that it's sad to see anyone waste their lives.

I get it. You'd rather every young person who steals a car and gets caught speeding dies. Nice.

I'm from a town of about 5k people and it's making a huge mess of the kids here. 20 years ago we didn't lock our doors. These days we do and we make sure we know where the shotgun is. In the last year we've had home invasions, a lot of burgs, armed robberies at the petrol station and a bunch of stabbings (one fatal).

I don't care if people get [censored] up but this is over the top. It's wrecking really good kids and killing the community.

[old dee 23,801]

Im supposed to give a [censored] about a drug fuelled loser who put the lives of everyone he drove past at risk?

How about you show some consideration for people who have lost someone close to them thanks to drugged up/drunk losers that got behind the wheel of a car

Garlett is a clown, and so are you

That is not correct HH and achieves nothing

[Uncle Fester 2,848]

. Show some consideration for a guy whose life is at the crossroads.

I get the feeling he drove through those crossroads at 200 kph with his bare arse hanging out the window.

[What 18,810]

he called my post a stupid comment whilst simultaneously sticking up for a guy that put innocent lives at risk

Might wanna pull him up on that first, then move on to me

Real facts? Sure.

A percentage of young men go off the rails. A percentage of young men are black. Some intersection of those sets will see young black men go off the rails, as Garlett clearly has. You're making this a race issue, but it isn't one. You're inventing correlations where they don't exist. Dayle Garlett is a stupid and irresponsible young man. There are literally tens of thousands of other stupid and irresponsible young men in Australia, who just so happen to not be black.

The first person you could think of that reminded you of him was a white female from a big city, which is instructive of the actual problem. Drug use is predominantly a problem of western culture. Indigenous Australians have their challenges, that much is certain. Let's not start blaming them for our problems too.

[Bossdog 2,002]

Before the "ice" scourge there was the "heroin" scourge and before that was the "lsd" with a few other drugs inbetween

Even before that was the underage drinking which we all did in our youth and smoking the horrid "Weed"

I don't have the answer to the problem but it has been going on since time began Youth will always experiment with new things be that drugs or other very dangerous practises. Some will come through this and others will fall by the wayside.

The one thing I know is that a whole lot of these temptations are due to peer group pressure.

I think of all the drugs that are around today...Ice is the most dangerous that I have seen.

Edit....This is not a race issue....It is a world wide problem

It is not a western only problem.....Drugs have been used by Eastern countries and tribes of Sth American for centuaries
