Blease for Garlett? Weren't Carlton the ones that were interested in Blease?

It's the perfect trade.

They can have Strauss for free too if they want.

    Has good defensive pressure I'll give him that and knows where the sticks are but just about fell off my chair when that heading went up. :o

    Club must know something ( hopefully ) :)

    Great fit for us.

    Interesting background story to the kid. Was essentially homeless while playing for Swan Districts.

    rings a bell.

    good for both teams I guess , but only really care about us. Would give Blease a new crack at it I suppose..

    You say that like it's a bad thing.

    yeah..... kicking all those damn bloody goals........nuisance !!!

  • Quote

    Carlton fans talking second round swaps and all sorts of other BS. Surely he's out of contract. Even a 4th round is generous.

    Rapt at this. Has kicked 39+ goals in three seasons (48 one year). Can't say that for anyone else on our list. Nobody even comes close

    There's no point in having crumbers in your forward line if there are no big blokes there to contest. Perhaps we'll actually play Dawes (and hopefully Hogan) forward of centre next year, instead of letting him run around like a headless chook.

    Garlett would be okay if he costs us nothing, but I certainly wouldn't be giving up anything of value for him.

    The other problem with Garlett is how damn soft he is. He makes Watts look courageous. I don't know how we toughen him up.

    Dawes has struggled without having a crumbing forward around him. It makes his 10 dropped marks per game look worse. At least with a crumber he can attempt to palm the ball down a bit more.

    So...like Yze?

    He is proven as a goal kicker who can chase . Win for us at a cheap price

    Never mind his crumbing. Now we don't have to hold the ball up on the wing to wait for our plodders to get into the forward 50. We can just lob it in and watch him chase it down.

    Apparently big personal troubles, I hope we've done due diligence.

    If they are sorted then he could be worth something.

    Really it's just a throw at the stumps that should cost nothing.

    Correct. Before everone gets too excited you might want to have a think about why he spent all last season playing for the Bullants???

  • Quote

    JKH and Garlett hovering around forward line, pouncing on the loose ball being brought down by Gawn, Hogan et al, wouldn't necessarily be bad thing.

  • Quote

    Was dropped last year to find some form and instead of working to get back he sulked and was a bit part player... Definitely wouldn't give up much, but if this is the wake up call he needs then there is a lot of upside!!

    Roos v Malthouse is a big factor here!

    I kept my head mostly in the MFC sand this year - why did he?

    Whatever it was didn't affect him for the previous three seasons, where he barely missed a game.

    In no way is that a bad thing.

  • Quote

    Had a poor season this year.His previous 4 seasons he kicked 159 goals in 88 games including years of 39,43 and 48. Avg 3.4 tackles a game. Only 25.

    Bargain if he buys in

    I don't think Blease will be enough. Sure Garlett had a bad year, but at least he has proven to be an AFL quality forward. Blease hasn't even proven being a VFL player.

  • Quote

    Not ideal. But sounds like blokes being blokes. Or idiots being idiots.

    Guess if we are taking him it's about giving him a fresh start and forgiving whatever has happened before.

    yeah, i'd take him (if he comes relatively cheap). we need some x-factor crumbing in the fwd line

    • 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.
