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!

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.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
