Will still kick 35 for the year.

I want that.

    I hope he didn't tell the club because if he did and no one in the admin thought to find out the date to remind him to show up, then the admin is at fault since they should know he isn't the most responsible person in the world. But regardless when it happened, he should have told the club because it may have interfered with his work duties.

    maybe he did tell carlton when it happened and they said "don't worry, we'll fix it"

    Jeff is starting to look like payback for Brock.

    And Brock was payback for Vin Cattogio

    I think I have said it on a number of occasions

    If they could not play football you would not feed a number of them.

    On the other side I suppose that a group of Footballers numbering approx. 800 will throw up most of the types in the general community.

    I know a few males that are not AFL footballers that would give Garlett a run for his money in the"stupid stakes".

    I'm hoping the course of action from the MFC is a first and final warning.

    Garlett fell out of favour at Carton for his misdemeanours and it clearly showed with Malthouse's attitude towards him. As a result his attitude towards training and the game deteriorated which reflected on his 2014 form.

    In Garlett "we have a player", he hasn't put a foot wrong since being here and so support him on the matter whilst making it obvious the club is heavily disappointed for not informing them. Get through the process together and move on together - both he and the club will be better for it.

    I fear a punishment for this [first time offence] may be detrimental.

    Meh. It's between him and the courts. As long as he shows up to training I don't care about the rest of it.

    Absolutely needs to be disciplined. If nothing else, so he can be crystal clear that he won't be getting up to the same old stupidity at his new club without severe consequences

    This is his second chance.

    Can't believe he would he so dumb as to stuff it up, especially with a young family.

    Wait, so his second chance was before his first chance? Yeh he stuffed up, last year while at Carlton. He hasn't put a foot wrong since being at melbourne. The story says he didn't tell melbourne because he didn't know he had to go to court. Move on, the club will deal with it, the courts will deal with it. I'd still want him lining up for us round 1 regardless

    I don't think he should be disciplined. He did do the wrong thing, but isolating a guy like Garlett won't end well.

    Club needs to support and embrace him, ask him why he didn't go to court - and help him in his future court appearances.

    Let's not forget that a large number of Australian men also lose their license and don't attend court, let's not treat Garlett like he is a criminal.

    He needs support, if there is one thing MFC did well with Liam Jurrah it was support him, some would say even enabled him - but our intentions were in the right place.

    I say support him maybe he didn't know he had a court appearance it does happen, no one is perfect give him a warning and move on, the courts will punish him anyway, sure it's not a great look but what do you do

    I think part of the issue at Carlton was also that they underestimated the influence of Eddie Betts both on and off the field. He was instrumental to the success of the forward brigade and when they got rid of him there was suddenly a lot more pressure on Garlett. We saw his game suffer as a result. I think we need to temper our expectations with him a little. He will improve our side, but he's not the messiah. In fact, he may be a very naughty boy.

    The thing that really disturbs me about this particular incident is that he may not even have known that he was due to appear in court. That speaks to some pretty significant issues in his life skills.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
