"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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
