I am both whelmed and gruntled by swapping pick 61 for Jeff Gartlett

(why do most people dis these words?)

You sound fairly ert to me.

Posted

Realistically you need to include every single player drafted from 61 onwards, just because a player is taken at that exact number doesn't mean much.

Just had a look at further drafts, and there was a few gems, Stokes and Riscihtelli, but honestly Stokes is on the same level as Garlett, but it's still a great deal for us.

Love watching the 100 games Highlight Reel for Garlett's 100th game on the Blues website.

Fingers crossed he can get back to that form. If he does he will be a darn good player. Quick, Good overhead, Chase and tackles and can snag a goal.

Garletts highlights reel is quite impressive.
Plenty of awesome goals!

Bump for Bobby McKenzie

Bump deserved. Must get new glasses. I couldn't find any mention of him. Sorry folks for starting up 'new' topic. I loved the highlights though of Garlett particularly his tackling. Very Davey like. Now where is my wheelchair and hot water bottle?

The play at 0:51 reminds me a lot of a play that won The Wizard goal of the year a few years back.

I'm very very happy to have Jeffy at the club.

Another Jeff at Melbourne, the Wizard mark two?

Garlett is currently paying $3.00 to lead Melbourne in goal kicking. Given his history and our supreme lack of goal kickers this sounds reasonable.

Hogan won the goal kicking and best and fairest at Casey in his first year as a 17 year old. I wouldn't be betting too much on Garlett.

Watching the first goal in that package, I couldn't fail to notice how weak Lumumba's attack on Gartlett was. No pressure. Gave him loads of time to steady. Oh nooooooooo!

Of course, you realise if you were looking at the same clip on the WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - HERETIER LUMUMBA page, you'd be able to argue how clever Heretier was not to over-commit and he was just unlucky that Garlett kicked a goal from an impossible angle.

I would happily lose that bet if it meant Hogan was our leading goal kicker.

Posted

looking at his stats since he started, we can expect Garlett to get on average about 12 possessions a game, 1.7 goals and 3.4 tackles.

Roos may want him to increase his possessions to help othesr increase their goal tally. i.e inject some pace around the ground a bit.

Posted

I suspect that Garlett along with Kent and Kennedy-Harris will rotate from deep forward to high forward to midfield.

Whats Garlett's field kicking and creative talents like through the midfield?

The only question is will it be the left or right pocket?

Depends which way you're facing.

he has good skills no doubt but his slight frame doesn't allow him to hunt the ball like others do. he tends to 'strike' and play the dangerous outside runner game, rather than grind away. Despite a poor year he has plenty of good seasons backed up before that.

Roos can see we are so slow and has brought in 3 players in Lumumba, Garlett and Frost who have plenty of line breaking speed. all could potentially start round one.

I'd go so far as to say that all should start round one, with the exception maybe of Frost.

I will go further and say that Frost will start Round one also [unless you think Garland, Terlich & Grimes are all better options]?

Garland has played some very good football for the red and blue. He had a bad season this year coming back from injury and without a pre-season. I hope Frost proves to be a great pick-up but there is no way he gets a spot ahead of Garland round 1. And whilst Grimes probably hasn't reached the same heights as Garland he is our co-captain and there is no way Frost gets a spot ahead of him round 1 either.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
