WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

[pantaloons 2,019]

The way I see it we will need to do a player trade for either Frost or Garlett, we won't have enough picks.

Or...

23 for Garlett and 28

28 for Lumumba

Clark and 60 for 35 and 54

54 for Frost

Still have 35 in the bag after all that.

[Beetle 4,710]

Honestly can't remember the last time we had so many players select the MFC as their choice of destination.

[Adam The God 30,617]

The Blues had the best small forward combination a couple of years back one left last season the other will be gone this trade period. Add Waite into the picture and Carlton has lost it's Full forward Line from two years ago.

And so far replaced them with Liam Jones. :D

[ILLDieADemon 804]

Garlett and Jay kay are going to tare up the MGC together.

[Adam The God 30,617]

On trade radio, Essendon or Melbourne. The problems at EFC ruled them out. BOOM!

Yeah, us being able to field a side next year puts us ahead.

Paul Roos.

[Adam The God 30,617]

On trade radio - Pickering (his manager) said Roos has an appealing role for him, not just as a small forward but more up the ground in the midfield also

Our man Roos is a genius. So good at selling.

Garlett hits me as the ideal player for the rope-a-dope style of footy, where you flood your back line to soak up and stop the opposition then want to quickly counter attack while your forward line is open.

Garlett also offers ability at ground level if we're not playing the counter too. He's a great fit if his mind is in the game and he brings discipline.

Ryan O'Keefe type role?

At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

Not since we got Pedersen, Rodan and Byrnes in the same year.

[SaberFang 7,151]

I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

Line-breaking and bouncing are massive flaws in modern MFC footy.

Harry, Garlett, Varcoe (heading west?) is the injection we are clearly after.

Looks like Roos year 1 went for inside mids; year 2 for line-breaking outsiders.

[Sir Why You Little 37,313]

Roosy can get the best out of this kid.

Carlton mates used to rave about Garlett

If we can stitch up Jeff & Harry O this week for second round picks we have done well in stage 1

[nutbean 8,838]

Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

We offered that 3 for 1 offer to Carlton already but the baulked at the suggestion - their unrealistic offer was a straight swap Gartlett for the kitchen sink.

[nutbean 8,838]

Paul Roos.

We are seriously lucky to have him at the club but he is the only selling point we have at the moment

[JimmyNP 174]

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

[What 18,810]

He may have some issues but as a player geez he is talented and electric

[drdrake 3,203]

Just you, two players that their current clubs don't want anymore doesn't make us a top 8 team.

[Redleg 41,962]

At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

No he doesn't.

[Green Machine 63]

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

No, unless we get a decent tall goalkicker then I think we will seriously struggle to kick winning scores. I'm not letting the promise in the off season get me again !! I only see us winning 6 to 7 games but who knows really.

[Gipsy Danger 1,067]

Probably counting the chickens before they've hatched there

Holy moses, it must be pre-season already.

anyone would think he was up to something

[Sir Why You Little 37,313]

What happened in 2014, why is he so out of favour at Carlscum?

I saw very few of there games this year apart from our victory.

[Adam The God 30,617]

Just you I think, mate, but I love the optimism.
