I am both whelmed and gruntled by swapping pick 61 for Jeff Gartlett

You sound fairly ert to me.

    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.

    that is great value if youre a betting man

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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?

  • Quote

    The only question is will it be the left or right pocket?

    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

    • 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.
