    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.

  • 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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
