Demons on track to re-sign Jeff Garlett

Featured Replies

 

The way he moves when he cuts through traffic, it's like he reads the play before it even happens and is several steps ahead of everyone else.

His set shot kicking could do with a bit of improvement, but other than that he is all class.

Genuinely one of the most one-sided trades of all time.

I forgot about that.

Both times we got something special for what was essentially nothing.


Remind me - what did we give away for Jeff?

Malthouse has really destroyed that club - surely an Eddie Trojan horse plant. (There was a great cartoon to this effect which I have lost).

Picks 61 and 79 for Garlett and 83.

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

Excuse my modesty!  But, Clearly Vagg is way out on top in those stakes!  Oh, and it's "Barrie", too, young bushie!

But, yeah, Jeffie aint bad either!

Bahahahahahahahahahaha....

I love it how all the Dees supporters get half off our seats every time Garlett gets it inside 50. You just KNOW something is going to happen. 

Considering he wasn't  getting into Carlton's 22, he has skill and class,  and we got him for tne cost of a pair of jocks and a singlet - brilliant. And to think Carlton and Malthiuse were the idiots who let him go only makes me feel even better.

Jeffy is one of the best recruits for the dees in the time i have followed us (more than 40 years). One of the reasons is as you say it is so exciting to watch him play and he has the x factor that one of my all time favorites had (the WIz). 

But what makes it such a brilliant recruiting coup (for that is what it its is) is that with the current high press game plan that is the modern template the small forward is more important than ever as they have so much space to run into when the ball gets turned over at half back and rebounds the other way. 

The legacy of malthouse at the blues is that he completely misread what was happening in modern footy and got rid of 2 of the best 3 small forwards in the game (and Waite for good measure).

I really miss Garra.

Let's all share our favourite Garra memories.

Thrilled that he's going to e around for a while.  I really love the partnership building in our forward line.  There's a lot of chemistry in there and they are really starting to get their heads around how each other play.  It's only going to get better.

If you are THE Barrie Vagg then you are one of my pop idols of the 60's. I remember speaking to you at a Fed Square gathering of legendary demons a couple of years ago. I do notice from old stats that you missed a few 'snaps' in the '64 grand final though!

Has earned a pay rise - speed and class, that check-side kick was sublime, to improve his set shot he should run away from goal, he is at 85-90% with anything at '9' level of difficulty.

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

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/melbourne-demons-on-track-to-resign-jeff-garlett-20160429-goi0vg.html

Could've been an oversight re:Tyson.

Although the length of contract of the Tyson trade was never made public, somone on here was pretty confident he was out of contract this year.

Having said that, the author could be right and Tyson might still have another year left. He's a priority signings and was fantastic v's Richmond.

Jeffy is key to us pushing ahead and playing finals footy. At 26 years of age he could be looking for a 4 year deal. Worth every penny right now.

What is interesting is that we have 12 players out of contract. Obviously some of these form the natural attrition required to free up spots for the draft. But tmac, garlett, kent, watts, jetta and even pedo are currently best 22. Trenners could also get back in there. The dees have some work to do and it starts with Jeffy.

 

Dom Tyson signed a 4 yeard deal when he arrived. Finishes next year.


Would hate to be a Carton fan. At least we damaged our ex-players enough to not have to see them perform elsewhere.

Jeff brings more than goals to himself. The hand pass he got off to Kent last week for the goal was built off a hell of a lot of hard work and that wasn't a one off

Nah, Bushie.  Definitely not the original.  Like you, Barrie was one of my favourite players back in the 60's.  Of a Saturday arvo I'd perch myself on the floor in front of the old Radiogram, sheet of paper in hand, upon which I'd love to record every Melb goal.  Of course, the name "Vagg" featured prominently!  Great memories! 

Just great for the team to now have someone like Jeffie running around in our forward line, strutting his stuff!

Stef Martin and Jamie Bennell are two obvious exceptions, but yep - hilarious.

Geez I love Garlett. He's the most exciting/electric Demon we've had since Farmer.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
