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

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'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.

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.

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.

Is Carlton interested in Blease?

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...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
