    Jesus, mate. Really? I don't want strong bodied VFA players. I want proven AFL players. Garlett is just that.

    But, with attitude and determination....there's a difference.

    Realistically you need to include every single player drafted from 61 onwards, just because a player is taken at that exact number doesn't mean much.

    Just had a look at further drafts, and there was a few gems, Stokes and Riscihtelli, but honestly Stokes is on the same level as Garlett, but it's still a great deal for us.

    Love watching the 100 games Highlight Reel for Garlett's 100th game on the Blues website.

    Fingers crossed he can get back to that form. If he does he will be a darn good player. Quick, Good overhead, Chase and tackles and can snag a goal.

    Garletts highlights reel is quite impressive.
    Plenty of awesome goals!

    Bump for Bobby McKenzie

    Bump deserved. Must get new glasses. I couldn't find any mention of him. Sorry folks for starting up 'new' topic. I loved the highlights though of Garlett particularly his tackling. Very Davey like. Now where is my wheelchair and hot water bottle?

    The play at 0:51 reminds me a lot of a play that won The Wizard goal of the year a few years back.

    I'm very very happy to have Jeffy at the club.

    Another Jeff at Melbourne, the Wizard mark two?

    Garlett is currently paying $3.00 to lead Melbourne in goal kicking. Given his history and our supreme lack of goal kickers this sounds reasonable.

    Hogan won the goal kicking and best and fairest at Casey in his first year as a 17 year old. I wouldn't be betting too much on Garlett.

    Watching the first goal in that package, I couldn't fail to notice how weak Lumumba's attack on Gartlett was. No pressure. Gave him loads of time to steady. Oh nooooooooo!

    Of course, you realise if you were looking at the same clip on the WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - HERETIER LUMUMBA page, you'd be able to argue how clever Heretier was not to over-commit and he was just unlucky that Garlett kicked a goal from an impossible angle.

    I would happily lose that bet if it meant Hogan was our leading goal kicker.

    looking at his stats since he started, we can expect Garlett to get on average about 12 possessions a game, 1.7 goals and 3.4 tackles.

    Roos may want him to increase his possessions to help othesr increase their goal tally. i.e inject some pace around the ground a bit.

    I suspect that Garlett along with Kent and Kennedy-Harris will rotate from deep forward to high forward to midfield.

    Whats Garlett's field kicking and creative talents like through the midfield?

    Depends which way you're facing.

    he has good skills no doubt but his slight frame doesn't allow him to hunt the ball like others do. he tends to 'strike' and play the dangerous outside runner game, rather than grind away. Despite a poor year he has plenty of good seasons backed up before that.

    Roos can see we are so slow and has brought in 3 players in Lumumba, Garlett and Frost who have plenty of line breaking speed. all could potentially start round one.

    I'd go so far as to say that all should start round one, with the exception maybe of Frost.

    I will go further and say that Frost will start Round one also [unless you think Garland, Terlich & Grimes are all better options]?

    Garland has played some very good football for the red and blue. He had a bad season this year coming back from injury and without a pre-season. I hope Frost proves to be a great pick-up but there is no way he gets a spot ahead of Garland round 1. And whilst Grimes probably hasn't reached the same heights as Garland he is our co-captain and there is no way Frost gets a spot ahead of him round 1 either.

    Is it worth mentioning Jeff is easily the 'highest goal-kicker at AFL level' on the list?

    Top 5...

    Garlett: 183

    Dawes: 115

    Dunn: 95

    Vince: 93

    Jones: 83

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
