WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

Featured Replies

If Roos is certain that his head is right, then a big yes from me. Swap for Blease, please.

 

Garlett, Kent and JKH rotating between forward and midfield will give us some much needed dynamism.

 

So long as there's none of this business, young Jeffrey, I'm sure we will get along just fine.

Won't say no to Garlett. He has pace and goal sense, which are two critical needs for the club. Hopefully the change of scenery does him some good and we see him back at his best. He's too good to be running around in the VFL like he was last year.


The thing to remember in all of this is no one is trying ( nor can) quickly invoke a team of the century. The FD is , i suspect simply trying to build a capable team and one that's a building block going forward.

Its a step by step thing

At least we're walking....eh Mr Walker :)

I hear that people who go to jail often have to go to court first. How serious is his charge?

 

computer says NO

haha computer says F*&^ing NO

I'm I misremembering, or is there some relationship between Jeff Garlett and Nev Jetta. Family? Friends?

Don't think so the Jetta's are from Bunbury way, think Jeff may be related to Des Headland. A cousin of mine is married into the Headland family and am pretty sure the Garlett's and Headlands are related


I don't know where Carlton are going to get their goals from next year.

Waite gone

Garlett gone

But then again, I don't care either.

Liam Jones and Sam Blease will surprise the competition by becoming the best marking and crumbing combo.

Wow. The highlights package is better than anyone in the draft thats for sure.....

i want him just for the tackle he laid on Boomer, that said he's good in the air, the way he tapped the ball out of the pack to himself showed he can do more than just receive. As many other have said, watching the wheels wobble at pies/bums/scum is a delight in two senses, petty hatred AND some players are actually happy to come here.

correct :)


Is Carlton interested in Blease?

You lost me at Barry.

Lost me at Trengove

what does this mean for JKH?

Just a kid starting out.

Garlett proves that small fast bludging forwards need to have a score impact nearly every time they get a touch.

Unfortunately JKH in his first year didnt do that,Once he realises greed is the temper of these types,he will get there.

he is very skinny, but he has good pace and if he stays out of trouble and doesnt hang around with his mate mitch as much and gets into the hard work then Id have him.

I trust Roosy and his choices.


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

It'll never catch on.

.. This is the time of year to be a melbourne supporter

as opposed to the season proper......

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.

They certainly were last year.

I think this is the trade we're all hoping will be a straight swap but in my opinion Garlett is a much better player.

Or Betts leaving was just one of many contributing factors which resulted in him having a poor year...

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
