Demons on track to re-sign Jeff Garlett

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.

 

Bennell?

Whats he done exactly in the AFL comp to really make us regret delisting him?

Besides currently playing in the WAFL?

Bennell looked last year to have turned in to a decent player. Even so, I agree that you could hardly say it was a misjudgement that burnt us. He'd be competing with Jetta now, who I am very happy with. 

Vince and Garlett to me though are examples that all clubs can make gross errors of judgement sometimes, particularly in clubs with "rigid" coaches at the helm (and I think Neeld, Malthouse and Sanderson all belonged in this category). It seems so hard to believe that both players were told they had no future at their clubs.

I reckon Roos, Viney and Taylor still wouldn't believe their luck. I sure can't - I was happy with picking up Garlett as an AFL grade goal sneak, but he's an even better player than I thought. I didn't know he tackled and attacked the way he does, and I didn't know his skills translated to five minute blitzes in the midfield with class ball use. Exciting things happen when he is near the ball. And all this basically for free - thanks again Mick.

Look forward to hearing he's re-signed soon!

I quite like Jeffie too!  ................. an exciting part of an exciting era that is dawning over the MFC.

 

One of my favourites, have always  been a fan. And he is only 26, seems to have been around forever. He has at least 5 years left.

It really was comically handled by Carlton. An absolute steal.

Bennell is a bog average AFL player. He had time on our list and did nothing.

Vince and Garlett are not real/fair comparisons in any case. There were specific reasons why they were traded. Adelaide needed draft picks after the salary cap scandal with Tippett and Garlett was on the outer for disciplinary reasons. That wasn't the case for Bennell.

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

Haha, great call but Money bags is starting to play well. ?

 What are we thinking 4yr deal 400 per year

  • 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.
