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

    Dyson-esque deal would also consume our 2nd round pick

    A Dyson-esque deal would have us punting some 50 year old geezer to the Swans

    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

    • 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.
