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

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
