what does this mean for JKH?

Absolutely nothing

We will need both JKH and Garlett in the side and I cant wait to see them play together

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.

Ok, now you're reaching.

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?

I don't put Garlett in same cat as Vince.

I would be gobsmacked if we handed 23 for jeff....or any 2nd rounder actually. Dont need to

Agreed

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 for one am thankful that we got Garlett and not that maggot Robinson

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:^_^

Nah, I reckon we're just going to wing it.

I think that was our former recruiting strategy...lol

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.

Thanks for clarifying guys.

You forget Roos' mantra...mids, mids, mids!

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.

id be happy with trading Blease, tappscott and Strauss for him all together. If the Blues think that is a good deal im all smiles.

    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

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
