WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

[wizardinoz 2,053]

Can someone tell me, as we delisted Blease can he in fact still be traded?

[What 18,810]

what does this mean for JKH?

Absolutely nothing

We will need both JKH and Garlett in the side and I cant wait to see them play together

[Dr. Gonzo 22,536]

Garlett carries little coin and more of a risk. Hes being given the heave ho by Mouse. You dont cough up second rounders for that. Hes a bit of interest, not central to any success at Melbourne. Hes a "yeah we'll take him but ....."

He obviously got the wrong side of Mouse and the Scum want rid of him........ well played there Blue baggers !!!

We're not giving up a second rounder, we're downgrading our second rounder 5 spots in that scenario.

Can someone tell me, as we delisted Blease can he in fact still be traded?

Blease has not yet been delisted. He is out of contract and has requested a trade.

Thus yes, he can be traded.

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Can someone tell me, as we delisted Blease can he in fact still be traded?

Hasn't been officially delisted yet. We just haven't offered him a new contract so we'll look at trading him.

If that can't be facilitated, he will be delisted.

[pantaloons 2,019]

Can someone tell me, as we delisted Blease can he in fact still be traded?

He hasn't been delisted yet as far as I know. He has been kept on the list to fulfill his purpose at the Demons: as a sweetener in a pick 78 for Garlett deal.

what does this mean for JKH?

Jay Kennedy-Harris means: The one who will be King, he who has laughed on Neighbours, and whom is not only gifted, but multi-talented. And gifted.

Ok, now you're reaching.

[Undeeterred 2,874]

Not since we got Pedersen, Rodan and Byrnes in the same year.

And Gillies. Don't forget Gillies.

[Undeeterred 2,874]

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

Oh don't start that crap already!

[Dee tention 611]

Dee's obviousley looking for pace and players who can break the lines.

I'm happy with Gartlett and Lumumba as they both have those attributes we lack...

I'm just hoping we don't trade Picks 2 & 3!

Brayshaw & McCartin should be lock.

Sam Frost is the only other player we need to secure for a great trading and draft period.

Add Billy 'The Kid' Stretch.

Hands up if your happy with that?

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Ok, now you're reaching.

Dwayne Russell would dig it.

[jnrmac 19,202]

I don't put Garlett in same cat as Vince.

I would be gobsmacked if we handed 23 for jeff....or any 2nd rounder actually. Dont need to

Agreed

[beelzebub 22,264]

We're not giving up a second rounder, we're downgrading our second rounder 5 spots in that scenario.

fair enough ..I still would prefer a lower pick...or 4th rounder and a player etc.

Still ..the club will do what it sees fit. They are much better at this game now thank god

[Scoop Junior 3,014]

I can actually see JKH being more of a midfielder than a specialist small forward.

I think he lacks the raw pace that many of the best small forwards have. What he has got though is the ability to make good decisions (especially by hand) in traffic, a really underrated skill of a good midfielder.

I can see him in more of a 2014 Ben McGlynn role (midfielder who can rotate as a small forward) than a pure small forward.

[jnrmac 19,202]

I for one am thankful that we got Garlett and not that maggot Robinson

I have no idea where I read it but I think the club is grooming JKH to BE a middy....building a tank from the fwd work etc.

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

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

I think that was our former recruiting strategy...lol

[Ruffles 356]

Would love Garlett at the dees!

My brother's a blues supporter so I've watched quite a few Carlton games over the years and Garlett was one of my favourite AFL players to watch around 2010 - 2012 when they were around top 8. Has blistering pace and love to tackle, remember some great run-down tackles. Very exciting news!

I can still see pick 3 being traded for a downgraded round one pick and an established midfielder to be honest.

[wizardinoz 2,053]

Thanks for clarifying guys.

You forget Roos' mantra...mids, mids, mids!

[chookrat 3,778]

All we need now is to get his mate Mitch Robinson in as his 'minder' for the Big Day Out.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

Im gonna say it - I think Carlton are mad getting rid of Garlett. the Betts/Garlett combo around 2010 to 2012ish was incredible to watch. I watched a lot of Carlton games in that time and I would often think to myself why cant the demons have a player with that burst speed and total goalsmarts in our side.

Enter a new coach and a perception of attitude problems and he's gonna be ours possibly for almost nothing.

This is gonna be way bigger than some here realise. He is an under-rated gun - just like HL.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,078]

id be happy with trading Blease, tappscott and Strauss for him all together. If the Blues think that is a good deal im all smiles.
