WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JEFF GARLETT

Featured Replies

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

Or...

23 for Garlett and 28

28 for Lumumba

Clark and 60 for 35 and 54

54 for Frost

Still have 35 in the bag after all that.

 

Honestly can't remember the last time we had so many players select the MFC as their choice of destination.

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.

And so far replaced them with Liam Jones. :D

 

Garlett and Jay kay are going to tare up the MGC together.

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

Yeah, us being able to field a side next year puts us ahead. ;)

Paul Roos.

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

Our man Roos is a genius. So good at selling.

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.

Garlett also offers ability at ground level if we're not playing the counter too. He's a great fit if his mind is in the game and he brings discipline.

Ryan O'Keefe type role?

At his best he applies good forward pressure too!


I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

Line-breaking and bouncing are massive flaws in modern MFC footy.

Harry, Garlett, Varcoe (heading west?) is the injection we are clearly after.

Looks like Roos year 1 went for inside mids; year 2 for line-breaking outsiders.

Roosy can get the best out of this kid.

Carlton mates used to rave about Garlett

If we can stitch up Jeff & Harry O this week for second round picks we have done well in stage 1

Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

We offered that 3 for 1 offer to Carlton already but the baulked at the suggestion - their unrealistic offer was a straight swap Gartlett for the kitchen sink.

Paul Roos.

We are seriously lucky to have him at the club but he is the only selling point we have at the moment


Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

He may have some issues but as a player geez he is talented and electric

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

Just you, two players that their current clubs don't want anymore doesn't make us a top 8 team.

At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

No he doesn't.

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

No, unless we get a decent tall goalkicker then I think we will seriously struggle to kick winning scores. I'm not letting the promise in the off season get me again !! I only see us winning 6 to 7 games but who knows really.

Probably counting the chickens before they've hatched there

Holy moses, it must be pre-season already.

anyone would think he was up to something :rolleyes:

 

What happened in 2014, why is he so out of favour at Carlscum?

I saw very few of there games this year apart from our victory.

Just you I think, mate, but I love the optimism.

  • 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.
