Demons on track to re-sign Jeff Garlett

[Wilson7 2,670]

Awesome news, no mention of Tyson being out of contract this year, maybe he signed for 4 years when we got him

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

The first domino hopefully.

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.

[Gorgoroth 12,963]

Get it done Dees, love Jeffy.

Keep winning games and the cards will fall.

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?

[hells bells 2,023]

I read somewhere that Nev Jetta is about to re-sign too.  Good signs all round.

[Middymalt 244]

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. 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

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. 

 

[Jaded No More 68,965]

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.

Cheers Mick Malthouse, top bloke

[DeeZee 7,399]

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

Looks very happy at Melbourne.

[ILLDieADemon 804]

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

hope jeffy gets a nice raise, he deserves it after we got him for peanuts

[Middymalt 244]

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

[Mach5 4,767]

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.
