Huge pass. What a waste of talent. I bet none of the other draftee's are "Peaking Hard".

WA teenager Dayle Garlett faces second draft snub

    Braden Quartermaine
    From: The Sunday Times
    December 09, 2012


GIFTED WA youngster Dayle Garlett is facing the prospect of being snubbed for the second time in Tuesday's AFL rookie draft.

Garlett, named in the under-18 All-Australian team this year, had been expected to win a lifeline from Essendon.

The Bombers invited the Swan Districts product to train with them after he was overlooked in the national draft and are yet to make a final decision but are leaning against drafting the potential star.

"No doubt there's a lot of talent there and the way he plays his football excites everyone," Essendon coach James Hird said.

"We've just got to work out whether someone like Dayle fits our group."

The Garlett situation will play out this week against a backdrop of increasing debate over the apparent reluctance of AFL clubs to recruit indigenous players.

Recruiters around the country were of the view that the 18-year-old was a first-round draft pick based on talent alone, but Garlett has been dogged by bad publicity over off-field issues.

He was kicked out of the elite AIS-AFL Academy last summer and missed several WAFL games through internal club suspensions. Social media photos of him drinking and smoking did further harm to his reputation.

No other AFL club, including local teams West Coast and Fremantle, appears willing to take a punt on him.

Swan Districts is astounded at Garlett's predicament, with coach Greg Harding saying yesterday he was "staggered we're even having the conversation".

Harding said Garlett's issues related mostly to poor time management and said AFL clubs would be passing up a potential 200-game player.

"I'm not saying that he's an angel, but show me exactly what he's done that's been horrible," Harding said.

"These AFL clubs spend millions and millions of dollars on their footy departments. They have an exorbitant amount of resources at their disposal in terms of manpower and not one of those 18 clubs is going to back themselves to put the kid in their culture and give him an opportunity.

"At this stage they've left a kid still at WAFL level who is quite clearly in the top-five players, on talent, in the country."

Harding said Garlett was finding it tough to come to terms with the fact he was required to live differently to his mates.

"He's like any other young 18-year-old bloke that's just got his licence and can get into a nightclub or a pub and have a beer," he said.

"But what he needs to understand is that he's not like any other kid. I think he's got the potential to be an elite AFL player and if you're going to be able to do that then you have to prepare yourself differently to other 18-year-old kids."

I would rookie him and tell him he is on a no stuff up policy, with a first stuff up he's out the door. You never know he may turn himself around mind you all I seen is a couple of pics of him smoking and being a dill theoretically he hasnt done anything real bad from what I seen.

If Essendon who i consider to be one of the best clubs in the comp when it comes to assisting in indigenous players adapting to Life in the AFL are knocking him back then thats a pretty clear message to stay away from him.

Sounds like a good idea. They can have him move in with A Edwards, God knows the kids needs a stable influence around to keep him in the straight and narrow.  ;D

Seriously though unlike picking up lockup, which I was against but has merit as a depth player, I would hope that the club has learnt something from the mistakes if the past.
If Garlett is the prodigious talent that everyone is talking about I'd expect the Tigers would be a great club for him, not only to straighten him up, but would be the genesis for a long and exciting career with us.

This is exactly the issue Matt Rendall was trying to address but all the do gooder, PC correct pole smoking wankers buried their head in the sand and went down the easy route of crucifying the messenger. ( its why I dont give a toss about the mangarook footy show getting the arse. lost me completely the way they handled it)

As for gartlett himself, if he wants to play AFL then he needs to buckle down and produce good football and show he can maintain the professionalism required for AFL, at state level.

If he is fair dinkum with his comments about needing to be drafted to get away from his mates, he will show some initiative and move interstate himself to start afresh.

LMAO. based on what ?

Looks like the balls in his court, up to him to prove himself next year and show he has the metal to play afl in 2014.

Spot on al, hope someone in the media has the balls to come out and say exactly what you just said re Matty Rendall, but with the afl handing out afl media accreditation badges  ::)  i doubt it.

I know what you mean Al our history with indigenous talent isn't great.
Hasn't club learnt anything from their mistakes? Don't they have an indigenous institute? Haven't they learnt anything from setting it up? Trips to remote aboriginal communities and haven't any idea on how to handle just one adolescent? Why is it impossible with this kid?
....Maybe Choco Williams has all the answers.
A lot if things have improved since Benny Gale has come on board. I'm sure this may be an area we can improve in also.  :gotigers

maybe so, but lets get a few easy ones right first.

A leadership group decision on Monday night and a 4am bender in Fremantle last weekend combined to dash Perth teenager Dayle Garlett's hopes of being drafted by Essendon.
