WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

[monoccular 17,628]

If Roos is certain that his head is right, then a big yes from me. Swap for Blease, please.

[FireInTheBennelly 4,101]

what does this mean for JKH?

We may have to start calling him Eddie

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Garlett, Kent and JKH rotating between forward and midfield will give us some much needed dynamism.

[Guest]

So long as there's none of this business, young Jeffrey, I'm sure we will get along just fine.

[Devo 104]

Won't say no to Garlett. He has pace and goal sense, which are two critical needs for the club. Hopefully the change of scenery does him some good and we see him back at his best. He's too good to be running around in the VFL like he was last year.

[beelzebub 23,389]

The thing to remember in all of this is no one is trying ( nor can) quickly invoke a team of the century. The FD is , i suspect simply trying to build a capable team and one that's a building block going forward.

Its a step by step thing

At least we're walking....eh Mr Walker

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I hear that people who go to jail often have to go to court first. How serious is his charge?

[Undeeterred 3,127]

Wasn't he chased down and collared by big Jakie?

[baysidedave 246]

computer says NO

haha computer says F*&^ing NO

[Pennant St Dee 13,372]

I'm I misremembering, or is there some relationship between Jeff Garlett and Nev Jetta. Family? Friends?

Don't think so the Jetta's are from Bunbury way, think Jeff may be related to Des Headland. A cousin of mine is married into the Headland family and am pretty sure the Garlett's and Headlands are related

I don't know where Carlton are going to get their goals from next year.

Waite gone

Garlett gone

But then again, I don't care either.

Liam Jones and Sam Blease will surprise the competition by becoming the best marking and crumbing combo.

[DEE fence 5,042]

Wow. The highlights package is better than anyone in the draft thats for sure.....

i want him just for the tackle he laid on Boomer, that said he's good in the air, the way he tapped the ball out of the pack to himself showed he can do more than just receive. As many other have said, watching the wheels wobble at pies/bums/scum is a delight in two senses, petty hatred AND some players are actually happy to come here.

[dee-tox 4,835]

From memory, Jeff is a related to Buddy Franklin.

correct

[old55 23,809]

Is Carlton interested in Blease?

[jackaub 1,402]

You lost me at Barry.

Lost me at Trengove

[jazza 1,323]

what does this mean for JKH?

Just a kid starting out.

Garlett proves that small fast bludging forwards need to have a score impact nearly every time they get a touch.

Unfortunately JKH in his first year didnt do that,Once he realises greed is the temper of these types,he will get there.

[s-t-i-n-g-a 439]

I will be wrapped if we pick up Jeffry Gillnet...ops wrong thread...

[dees189227 12,442]

he is very skinny, but he has good pace and if he stays out of trouble and doesnt hang around with his mate mitch as much and gets into the hard work then Id have him.

I trust Roosy and his choices.

[nutbean 8,838]

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

It'll never catch on.

[nutbean 8,838]

.. This is the time of year to be a melbourne supporter

as opposed to the season proper......

[RalphiusMaximus 6,101]

The thing to remember with Garlett is that he produced his best football alongside Betts. Once he lost his partner he went to pieces.

He doesn't seem to have coped very well with being the primary small forward. What we hope here is that playing him up the ground he'll get more room to move and use his speed to set up scores rather than kick the goals himself.

[McQueen 17,867]

Is Carlton interested in Blease?

They certainly were last year.

I think this is the trade we're all hoping will be a straight swap but in my opinion Garlett is a much better player.

Or Betts leaving was just one of many contributing factors which resulted in him having a poor year...
