Garlett carries little coin and more of a risk. Hes being given the heave ho by Mouse. You dont cough up second rounders for that. Hes a bit of interest, not central to any success at Melbourne. Hes a "yeah we'll take him but ....."

He obviously got the wrong side of Mouse and the Scum want rid of him........ well played there Blue baggers !!!

We're not giving up a second rounder, we're downgrading our second rounder 5 spots in that scenario.

Can someone tell me, as we delisted Blease can he in fact still be traded?

Blease has not yet been delisted. He is out of contract and has requested a trade.

Thus yes, he can be traded.

Hasn't been officially delisted yet. We just haven't offered him a new contract so we'll look at trading him.

If that can't be facilitated, he will be delisted.

He hasn't been delisted yet as far as I know. He has been kept on the list to fulfill his purpose at the Demons: as a sweetener in a pick 78 for Garlett deal.

Jay Kennedy-Harris means: The one who will be King, he who has laughed on Neighbours, and whom is not only gifted, but multi-talented. And gifted.

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

Oh don't start that crap already!

Dee's obviousley looking for pace and players who can break the lines.

I'm happy with Gartlett and Lumumba as they both have those attributes we lack...

I'm just hoping we don't trade Picks 2 & 3!

Brayshaw & McCartin should be lock.

Sam Frost is the only other player we need to secure for a great trading and draft period.

Add Billy 'The Kid' Stretch.

Hands up if your happy with that?

fair enough ..I still would prefer a lower pick...or 4th rounder and a player etc.

Still ..the club will do what it sees fit. They are much better at this game now thank god :)

I can actually see JKH being more of a midfielder than a specialist small forward.

I think he lacks the raw pace that many of the best small forwards have. What he has got though is the ability to make good decisions (especially by hand) in traffic, a really underrated skill of a good midfielder.

I can see him in more of a 2014 Ben McGlynn role (midfielder who can rotate as a small forward) than a pure small forward.

I have no idea where I read it but I think the club is grooming JKH to BE a middy....building a tank from the fwd work etc.

Apparently we're trying this new thing in sport......."develop..........something or other " !!! :rolleyes:^_^

Would love Garlett at the dees!

My brother's a blues supporter so I've watched quite a few Carlton games over the years and Garlett was one of my favourite AFL players to watch around 2010 - 2012 when they were around top 8. Has blistering pace and love to tackle, remember some great run-down tackles. Very exciting news!

I can still see pick 3 being traded for a downgraded round one pick and an established midfielder to be honest.

Im gonna say it - I think Carlton are mad getting rid of Garlett. the Betts/Garlett combo around 2010 to 2012ish was incredible to watch. I watched a lot of Carlton games in that time and I would often think to myself why cant the demons have a player with that burst speed and total goalsmarts in our side.

Enter a new coach and a perception of attitude problems and he's gonna be ours possibly for almost nothing.

This is gonna be way bigger than some here realise. He is an under-rated gun - just like HL.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
