Excuse my ignorance, but why was Carlton happy to lose him for very little?

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.

Presumably Roos is happy that he can get him to play his role - what more can one ask, basically for free.

Geez, he and mad Mick must have had a huge falling out.

Hogan can't do it on his own. I obviously don't hold much faith in Pederson helping him out.

Nobody showed much faith in Pedersen prior to season 2014 - he made huge strides. If he can continue to improve he will fill a role (and not just as Merret's punching bag.)

Wait till the real stories come out about his time at Carlton!

Then we might re-think!

Speculation, real information, or natural and completely justified demon pessimism?

The article on afl says "he managed only 12 goals in 9 games in 2014", that would nearly win our goal kicking in just 9 games.

Very happy, Just read he averaged 2 goals and 3.5 tackles a game.

He strikes me as a slightly fragile personality which would/did struggle under a [censored] like malthouse. But roos could make all the difference and at 25 he could be primed for it

I'm quite happy with this trade, we haven't given up much and he is a player that is highly skilled and highly talented. Hopefully Roos will be able to work his magic on him.

Welcome to the MFC.

Stoked with this. Hopefully he can take JKH under his wing and they can feed off each other in complimentary roles, ala Betts and Garlett in 2013.

Carlton are really on the nose. How are they planning to kick goals next year?? No Waite, no Garlett, no Betts.

The fact that we couldn't ship Blease or Strauss must be worrying for them both. Perhaps they will be rookies somewhere. The fact that Cartank wanted pick 698 before one of these blokes speaks to their true currency.

And Jeff, when you put on the new shirt, try a smile!

Howe, Dawes, Kent

Wow! That's a forward line and a half!

This deal gets a thumbs up from me. He clearly fills a need as a goal kicking forward and the cost is basically nothing. I don't think we will take more than three or four picks into the draft, and two of those will be Stretch and Jetta. We have way too many players on our list who are too raw or too useless to be playing senior AFL football, so the fewer guys we bring in with later picks the better.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
