Pick 23 downgraded 5 spots.

I don't see the Blease swap happening, so deals like this might have to be considered to get it done. We would hope for better, of course.

anything in this range is way over.. third rounder perhaps...and they can like it....or we move on. Again..we DONT have to do the deal.

    If Carlton wanted Garlett and Robinson to have any sort of currency, then they wouldn't have told the pair and the footy media that they are going to be traded before the season even ended.

    Blease for Garlett is not a stupid proposition, Garlett has had 3-4 seasons where he has had a good output as a forward, but his off field issues make him a risk for any club to take on. Blease is still young enough and I think can make it at AFL level, whether he can respond under Mick is another question.

    Any Melbourne fan who wouldn't take gartlett cheaply seriously over rate our list. he's a walk up start. He'll have Hogan and Dawes to crumb too. You need to remember that Carlton pretty much relied on him and betts for 2 years. Happy to make that happen for Blease and or pick 50 plus

    Trade HQ at Herald Sun actually, heard it said twice!

    If we want him then we have to deal cause he will definitely get picked up, and if it's a third rounder then downgrading 5 places from Pick 23 isn't "way overs". There's stuff all difference between 23 and 28.

    I can think of worse results than both H and Garlett for Pick 23.

    The Blues had the best small forward combination a couple of years back one left last season the other will be gone this trade period. Add Waite into the picture and Carlton has lost it's Full forward Line from two years ago.

    Garlett carries little coin and more of a risk. Hes being given the heave ho by Mouse. You dont cough up second rounders for that. Hes a bit of interest, not central to any success at Melbourne. Hes a "yeah we'll take him but ....."

    He obviously got the wrong side of Mouse and the Scum want rid of him........ well played there Blue baggers !!!

    I like that with both Garlett and Lumumba they are players who know they can match it with the best, but have been ejected by their clubs and come to us with something to prove.

    Redemption and pride can be a powerful tonic. Certainly what the MFC needs in 2015.

    I'm all for him, but what are we gonna trade? Blease?

  • Quote

    On trade radio, Essendon or Melbourne. The problems at EFC ruled them out. BOOM!

    Agree and Roos has a reputation for player redemption.

    I'm happy to draw a pattern through what's happened so far under Roos - Vince, Tyson, Cross, Riley - how are we going so far?

  • Quote

    We got Vince with pick 23...

    23?? even with downgrade is way way too much for ol Jeff.

    Its a deal we DONT HAVE TO DO btw.. We sit back....wait for them.

  • Quote

    There was a time when he was one of the top small forwards in the game.

    Agreed - way back in 2013.

  • Quote

    We got Vince with pick 23...

    I don't put Garlett in same cat as Vince.

    I would be gobsmacked if we handed 23 for jeff....or any 2nd rounder actually. Dont need to

  • Quote

    On trade radio - Pickering (his manager) said Roos has an appealing role for him, not just as a small forward but more up the ground in the midfield also

    edit

    Id be gobsmacked if we handed 23 for jeff....or any 2nd rounder actually. Dont need to

    Again, it's not Pick 23. It's a slight downgrade of Pick 23. No-one would give up Pick 23 for Garlett. That's not the proposal.

    If it's not a swap for Blease, what are some alternatives?

  • Quote

    Garlett hits me as the ideal player for the rope-a-dope style of footy, where you flood your back line to soak up and stop the opposition then want to quickly counter attack while your forward line is open.

    The way I see it we will need to do a player trade for either Frost or Garlett, we won't have enough picks.

    Well played mr roos, well played

    The number of times the ball came to ground in our f50 last season only for it to cleared out very easily by the opposition was ridiculous

    Now for the "A" grade midfielder trade

    Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

    This

    He booted 43 goals in 2013, 48 goals in 2011

    Need we remind everyone that Chris Dawes led our goalkickng with 20 in 2014

    The kid can play, big time

    Agree completely, no point paying overs for someone who struggled to get a game this year and they want to move on.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
