Dayle Garlett in Custody

I've had a few dealings with Garlett and and have kept my mouth shut, just reading and once again confirming my thoughts on people's ignorance.

Most posters really have no idea. Happy to answer the questions I can in private. A few have suggested he's from a remote community, if that community is 15 minutes from Perth CBD then you'd be correct.

I'd suggest we close the thread, it really serves no purpose.

All I'll say is Garlett is a troubled young man who has no regard for his victims or the people that are affected by his crimes.

    You had me up until your last point.

    I'd say let the ignorant say what we like in this thread. Get it all out of our system. Garlett clearly cares very little for society, so I don't think we owe him any benefit of the doubt back.

    Edit: Is that 15 minutes for the average folk or 15 minutes at 200km/hr?

    I agree with you 100%, maybe my last point wasn't well articulated. I've been up since yesterday morning and just had a beer, struggling!

    I have to do that sometimes (shift work) - there's no way I'd still be up at 9:30 the next night and I reckon I'd have collapsed in a heap on the first sip of beer if I was mad enough to try that. Go to bed, man!

    All good, I'm in Perth, 3 hours behind! I'll be fast asleep by 9.30 perth time, don't worry about that!

    Garlett realised early in his AFL career that he got more attention being a thug and a could've been.
    So what did he do, he retired, now he is a thug and a could've been.

    While the media continue to write stories about this kid, he will continue to make them, this is his career.

    I wish the media could write 'The mentally weak Garlett' before every headline, but of course they cannot do that.

    It might deter the kid, he is only doing it for a headline. Keep giving him headlines - and he'll keep giving you a reason to write more.

    That's a pretty judgemental thing to say.

    Leaving yourself wide open for criticism when you do 200 clicks and post it on social media.

    I'd be saying the same about anyone who did this - it is just that Garlett makes a habit of stupid behaviour.

    I just hope they can lock him up now, kid needs some to be incapacitated for he seriously injures someone.

    I will admit that i was one who wanted us to bring Garlett in with a late draft pick the year prior to Hawthorn drafting him.

    I also thought that the Hawks got themselves a bargain with him when they drafted him at their pick (along with Hartung too), thinking that being away from his problems in WA would help him mature and curb the negative influences on him. Only to learn that he developed his methamphetamine addiction in Melbourne, away from home.

    Given what has transpired since being drafted, i'm glad we didn't draft him. This kid needs serious help, with the help of his family too (as they no doubt will be his biggest support system). I think it's pretty certain that he will only get better once he hits rock bottom, what that will look like i'm not sure, but if he goes to prison it could be both the best thing for him or the worst. Hopefully for his sake, he will get rehabilitated (as the justice/prison system is designed to do).

    Hopefully it ends on a good note, as i don't think he deliberately goes looking for trouble, he just makes poor decisions.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
