Just been delisted.

In a team lacking outisde run from the midfield, do we consider picking him up or possibly rookie him?

If we can get him for nothing, why not?

    Only 23, if healthy worth a rookie

    I thought he had a good season in 2017, but the Hawks delisted him.  North have delisted him 12 months later.

    Being delisted twice in 12 months is a bit of a worry, however theres a decent chance someone will pick him up.

    Id rather Usain Bolt. You will get the same result

    If we’re in the market for one eye catching run per game that makes casual supporters go gee he looks good, then go for it.

    Put Garlett through an Intense off season endurance program and turn him into a fast burst outside mid if he is on list next year, bust a gut or you're out. Would be the same result as recruiting hartung though if they both shirk when it's their turn to go all in and don't have a ruthless kamikaze attitude

    Very surprising given his body of work at North. Seems like something behind the scenes that is making clubs turn their back on him.

    I wouldn’t mind seeing watts again as a rookie after port drops him

    serious?

    yep, yep, nope.

    Sure he looks good running down a wing, but after he immediately turns it over by foot, all our players' would be out of position.

    Opposition teams would be instructed to leave him free, so he can end up with the ball and virtually guarantee you'll get it back.

    No no no

    We have finally progressed to a point where, as a club, we no longer have to waste a single second of our time considering using a spot on our list for players like this.

    Hallelujah.

    When we are on about having A graders why would we even consider?

    A definite no from me.  Jayden Hunt has some similar attributes, but is a much better footballer.  Continue to work on Hunty's development and build his confidence, and save the list space for (hopefully) another Jason Taylor late pick gem.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
