WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

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.

    • 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.
