Dayle Garlett - Worth the Risk??

[RedanTiger]

With the strong support of his girlfriend's family and the Swans Districts Football Club, the former party boy attends a personal trainer course four days a week.

He is sleeping regular hours and eating properly.

"I'm studying and playing good footy, but it's not just on-field - it's off-field.''

So when/if he gets drafted he will move away from his girlfriends family, personal trainer, study facility and supportive club and go into a more social environment of AFL.
Hmmmmm. IMO there are enough traps for any draftee to fall into without having prior form and a leaning towards a problem attitude.

[Judge Roughneck]

Who cares as long as he can play for crying out loud

[Tigeritis™©®]

Would love for him to be rookied by us, developed by us and staring for us kicking bags of goals every week 
Why not?

Unfortunately with our record with indigenous talent he'd be partying with Dusty in no time. And two talented careers will be ruined.

We can't be trusted with wayward players. It's not the other way around.

[The Big Richo]

I wouldn't care if he was on a bender till 3am every night, I'd still prefer him to Lonegan, Stephenson, Houli, Grigg, Knights or Derrickxzxzxzx.

Yes definitely id save our 4th r pick for him

Yep, let's keep drafting private school prefects, that's worked well for us

Definitely need an x factor at the club but agree with comments he will probably end up with another club.

Use the top 10 pick we get for Nahas on him.

A top 10 pick? More like Meal Deal #10

4 kebabs, a family pide, and a 1.25L bottle of fanta

They still make Fanta?

i know a bloke that has crates of the stuff past its best before in his shed

pm me if you want in

This kid was touted as somewhere between 8 and 15 from memory last year and then slid and slid and slid.  That was before he posted the piccy of himself with  a bundy in one hand and a smoke in the other.

I was sure that Essendon would have rookied him - they brought him over to look at him before the PSD and rookie draft - alas the kid went on another 3am bender.

I probably would have rookied him last year but 18 clubs all said NO - that is saying something.

Having said that, he might be getting his head right and maturity improving.  Unfortunately if his head/maturity is right, he will likely go to someone else before our pick.

Is he X factor and someone we needed, probably.

Always wanted to be in a fanta club.

he wont last till our 4th round pick this yr.
hes doing everthing right atm and id be gobsmacked if he didnt go 2nd round.
we have taken a punt on a lot like him and almost every time its bitten us on the arse. i cant see us even looking at him even though hes exactly the type of player our midfield lacks.
depending on the talent left at our second pick id be tempted to give him a chance but only if he continues to show the want and discipline to succeed.

This. And if he's still there at our 3rd snap him up so fast that FJ might read out the wrong name he's in such a hurry. Dwayne Wilson is potentially just as good from SA. Otherwise Clayton McCartney reminds me a bit of Christensen and is almost certain to be there at 2nd/3rd round.
