"Charlie out of the spa and ready to go" (MFC website).
 
Is that the worst pun of all time?

Yes, but only because they didn't think of "Charlie out of the spa - go time!"

Jeffy really needs consistency not just form.

Form is a level of consistency isn't it? If your out of form you have no consistency?

You can be consistently out of form though........can't you?

Disagree with this. Garlett has been in the game for 10 years and over that period has been one of the most consistent small forwards around. Including his time at Carlton. His 2014 was a complete bomb but I was informed by someone at the the Blues that this was mainly due to off-field family issues. Then Malthouse had his fire sale. 

No doubt his form was off for 2 weeks. Perhaps form, desire, our crap forward setup & entries - who knows. Conditions perhaps ? When he was young I recall him being good in the wet (I always feared him when we played Carlton) but recently he's been the worst wet tracker since Let's Elope

I hope he finds touch real quick. With the forward line we could have, I would love to see Charlie and Jeffy creating havoc amongst it

Lies, damned lies & statistics. Nonetheless, here are some Garlett stats. Make of 'em what you will

Interesting that hes had more 40+ goal seasons than Jeff Farmer did (though none as brilliant  as Farmers best few seasons)

Hopefuly he can find form, nowhere near it right now.

Im just curious what Spargo Fritsch and Jeffy might do in a game. Maybe either Bayley or Jeffy plays higher on a wing

 All have goal sense...all can use the ball. Garletts skills are sublime when he's on. Maybe he just needs a nudge out of his malaise ;)

Yes you can,? In form is a level of good consistency, out of form is a bad level of consistency, i would have thought?

Was excellent today.

Great vision, thinking in traffic and very quick hands.  Can see him dishing out some lightning handballs from a congested midfield in the coming years.

He really looked like he had played with his new teammates for many seasons. A real team player. Well done Charlie!

One of the more impressively debuts I’ve seen from an MFC player.

He reminds me of Gary Moorcroft with respect to his size and position.

Let's hope he's better than that spud.

I was getting excited about Spargo...that ruins it lol


Just watched the replay and saw Spargo having a go at Goddard again in the context of the match. Whatever you think of Goddard he is a 300 gamer, former captain of his club and dual All Australian player. For Spargo, the smallest bloke on the field but, more importantly, a first gamer to push Jones aside so he could get a better purchase on Goddard I found extraordinary. The kid has chutzpah. It made me laugh..

That’s why he should be called “Sparky”!

What was the lead up the the remonstrations with Goddard ?. .... was it just that he is the least likeable of all AFL players in my memory (including Boomer Harvey, and that is saying something) or was there something else specific in addition?

Doesn’t matter if we don’t have a 1st round pick (at this stage) when you can draft the likes of Spargs and Fritter.

Our first two draft picks last year were 29 (Spargo) and 31 (Fritsch) and both are already getting regular games in their first season.

That's what I call good drafting.

Jason Taylor and his assistants are freaking awesome.

Not only is it good drafting, but they're not getting games because we have no one else.  They're keeping out very experienced and capable players.  It's fantastic to watch.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
