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.

Hopefully it takes young JKH under those hunge wings of his and they create some excitement

I'm happy as long no one calls him "Jeffy," he's not 3 years old. Call him by his true name, Jeffrey Garlett. Which means the forward half Prince, the one who does not laugh often. And... is gift

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

Some meltdown going on over at Carlton supporter sites and BF. Love it!

Maybe Roos will be easier to relate to and get on with, therefore perform better for, than Mad Mick?

Blues fan says 23 for Garlett + 28 - that's gold

28 to Nafan for The Prince

Keep the Clark receipts

Yes, seeing approval for 23 for 28 + Garlett all over Carlton forums. Hopefully the club agrees with their supporters.

That would be a solid deal for us. Gives us 28 to use on HL, plus pick/s from MC trade to use on Frost/another fringe player.

We probably won't need 28 for HL with talk of a three player swap involving, HL, MC and Travis Varcoe.

Sorry if I have missed it, but have we actually come out and said we want Garlett or has Garlett come out and said he wants to go to the Dees? Or is this all speculation?

We want him. Roos has been talking to him for weeks and has a specific role for him, not just in the forward line but pushing up the midfield.

He met senior players earlier this week.

Both as l understand it!. Roos wants him and he wants to join us! There is even an article to this effect on theMFC website.

23 for 28 + Garlett

28 for Lumumba

So basically, we would be turning 23 into Garlett and Lumumba. I would be happy with that.

That would be good in our situation..2 walk up first 22 players

Agreed.

Replace the worst performed forward and worst performed defender with those two and you have significant improvement.

Hopefully bring in one additional midfielder.

Sounds like lots of improvement.

given the likelihood of a three way for clark varcoe and harry this particular garlett scenario would result in us having 28. Not altogether bad I suppose.

Hypothetically if a Tyson-esque deal came off for 3 youd still have picks #2 #?(8-15...change from 3 ) #28 and the other rubbish ones

There'd be coming In , Harry, Garlett, the pick 3 trade deal bloke, Frost...plus at least 3 draftees of some sort of note..

Something I do like about both Harry and Jeff is they are players that dont muck around and take 5 mins to think of what to do.

well, we wait :)

edit..plus Stretch of course.. In this new age at melbourne I wouldnt expect to have a lot of impact via the draftees in 15...some cameos and teases perhaps :)

I am still adamant that we need to secure one more experienced mid in there somehow. Downgrading pick 3 seems the most likely way, but we will see.

Edit: didn't fully read your post first time BB, but that is pretty much my ideal trade period

He was a great pick up from Oakleigh.

I sense the clark, harry + whatever etc deal needs to go down first... just a gut feeling.... ( might also just be lunch)

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
