The kid is a  star! Quick,  evasive,  always keeps his feet,  knows when to go for the grab and when to stay on the ground for the crumb, excellent acceleration,  can turn on a dime,  rarely (if ever) fumbles,  elite goal sense,  elite forward pressure,  great field kick,  great football brain,  can be used for short bursts in the middle to get effect,  can quickly turn with a few quick k goals with ease. 

40 goals in 2015. 25 years old with many more classy years left in him. Cost us pick 61 FGS!!  Lol thanks for this beautiful gift Mick.

    Carlton have allowed some serious quality walk out there door for not much over the last few seasons.  It boggles the mind really.

    Just your textbook gun forward pocket. We have had an unbelievable run with the indigenous boys in that position: Sean Charles, The Wizard, Davey and now Jeffy.

    I love what Garlett brings to the table, but I'd be even happier if he could work on those hands.  He could have had 50+ goals last year if it weren't for dropping easy marks and fumbling ground balls here and there.

    His best season is ahead of him.

    Gun.

    With a more offensive outlook and what appears a more polished middies  setup I reckon he is good for 60 plus goals this season assuming few absences.

    Best thing about watching the game yesterday in a Geelong pub, was when a Carlton supporter a few seats along the bar, cursed his Club for getting rid of Jeffy. (He was not at all worried about the loss of Eddie Betts.)

    no cigar for you either

    "MELBOURNE has secured a trade for speedy Carlton forward Jeff Garlett. The Demons will hand over picks 61 and 79 to Carlton for Garlett, while they will get back the Blues' pick 83."

    I think DD was referring to his age, not the pick we gave up to get him

    Paid carlton bigfooty a visit.

    ''Jeffy in the goals with 3 already , just into the third quarter''.

    ''He was looking good and lively before he'd kicked one''.
    ''Thanks again Mick''

    Eddie and Jeffie.
    The crazy thing is both these guys may never have played at the highest level if not for us.
    Then we lose them through our own ineptitude.

    ''So hard watching Jeffy running around and doing well for Melbourne''.
    Takes me back a few years when he was the premier small forward in the game

    I don't care what anyone says, Mick was great for Carlton!! Destroyed an emerging team and sent us our best small fwd since Davey who is just as hungry as Farmer!

    Could have an Eddie Betts like year and kick 50-60 goals. He's that good. All-Australian smokey?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
