Demons on track to re-sign Jeff Garlett

Featured Replies

 

Jeff must be an absolute priority. Close to the premier small forward in the competition and our forward line looks infinitely better with him in it.

Has been a gem. Thanks Mick M

 

I wonder if the Carlton hierarchy ever think of what could have been; Jeff, Eddie, Josh and the current number 1 ranked player, Jarad would make for a powerful and potent forward line. 

Love that Melbourne was for on the happy side of a once in a decade deal but the best thing is Garlett is so much fun to watch. Whenever he gets the ball entertainment happens. Love that he is ours, we should keep it hat way

Add Sam Jacobs too.

Can't speak for the hierarchy, they are clearly bonkers. But the Carlton fans... well, they are acutely aware that it has been some time now since Carlton outscored ex-Carlton in a round of football.

How would you compare Garlett with other small forwards of the past: Vardy, Farmer, Davey, not to mention Barry Vagg?

We obviously got unders for him tim3 to pay him what he's worth.

He is up there with the best of them. Super fast, quick thinking and will only get better.

Like Vardy, he is a finisher. Farmer and Davey more spectacular, but Garlett doesn't seem to miss when the ball's in motion. 

Hes pretty awesome to watch when he has a goal in front of him and the race is on between him and some smuck. Most have no chance of catching him. Makes me laugh.

Yes he is a finisher with precision kicking and slick handballs. 

 

Loved his comment post game that he needs Hogan to start dropping some marks so he can get more crumbs. 

I haven't seen a player who has such a great knack for bobbing up when the team needs it most and kick a goal. He saved our bacon from a Richmond comeback about 3 times last weekend. 

What a genuinely awesome freebie and a must sign for the club. And also well done to him for turning things around. He obviously wasn't at peak professionalism when we got him. 

Love Jeffy, he brings so much excitement and pace to the team,and is in sizzling form .

Looks very happy at Melbourne.


He has Brought some well needed X factor into our forward line since Garra (can't spell his name) left our team. 

It's staggering that a club like the blues gave up on him so easily he's the icing on the cake deep forward.

 

We didn't just get Garlett cheaply, Carlton were silly enough to give him to us as he was entering the best years of his career.

Mind you, he probably needed the change from Carlton before he would ever reach these heights.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • 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.
