WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

Hopefully it takes young JKH under those hunge wings of his and they create some excitement

    JKH and Garlett could definitely be an exciting small forward combo. Electric even!

    Maybe Roos will be easier to relate to and get on with, therefore perform better for, than Mad Mick?

    Blues fan says 23 for Garlett + 28 - that's gold

    28 to Nafan for The Prince

    Keep the Clark receipts

    Yes, seeing approval for 23 for 28 + Garlett all over Carlton forums. Hopefully the club agrees with their supporters.

    That would be a solid deal for us. Gives us 28 to use on HL, plus pick/s from MC trade to use on Frost/another fringe player.

    We probably won't need 28 for HL with talk of a three player swap involving, HL, MC and Travis Varcoe.

    Sorry if I have missed it, but have we actually come out and said we want Garlett or has Garlett come out and said he wants to go to the Dees? Or is this all speculation?

    He's come out and said it. Article on the MFC site.

    We want him. Roos has been talking to him for weeks and has a specific role for him, not just in the forward line but pushing up the midfield.

    He met senior players earlier this week.

    Both as l understand it!. Roos wants him and he wants to join us! There is even an article to this effect on theMFC website.

    28 for Lumumba

    So basically, we would be turning 23 into Garlett and Lumumba. I would be happy with that.

    That would be good in our situation..2 walk up first 22 players

    Agreed.

    Replace the worst performed forward and worst performed defender with those two and you have significant improvement.

    Hopefully bring in one additional midfielder.

    Sounds like lots of improvement.

    given the likelihood of a three way for clark varcoe and harry this particular garlett scenario would result in us having 28. Not altogether bad I suppose.

    Hypothetically if a Tyson-esque deal came off for 3 youd still have picks #2 #?(8-15...change from 3 ) #28 and the other rubbish ones

    There'd be coming In , Harry, Garlett, the pick 3 trade deal bloke, Frost...plus at least 3 draftees of some sort of note..

    Something I do like about both Harry and Jeff is they are players that dont muck around and take 5 mins to think of what to do.

    well, we wait :)

    edit..plus Stretch of course.. In this new age at melbourne I wouldnt expect to have a lot of impact via the draftees in 15...some cameos and teases perhaps :)

    edit :unsure::rolleyes: T :)

    I am still adamant that we need to secure one more experienced mid in there somehow. Downgrading pick 3 seems the most likely way, but we will see.

    Edit: didn't fully read your post first time BB, but that is pretty much my ideal trade period

    He was a great pick up from Oakleigh.

    Tyson folks. It's not that hard

    And we'd get to root Geelong by making the Mitch Clark deal hard to get across the line.

    this trade should have been done already

    are Carltank playing hardball with a guy they turfed out? lol

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
