Dayle Garlett - Worth the Risk??

[Simonator]

Although i havent seen him play, I dont think he is worth the risk judging by the things I've read.

[WilliamPowell]

If our club has any clue what we are doing then take a punt on this lad

And if by chance they did (they wont BTW) but if they did and it turned into another Troy Taylor scenario daniel

Would you sit back not bag the club for wasting a pick and say well done at least you took a punt on him or would you bag them unceremoniously for wasting a pick?

Reckon I have pretty good idea which it would be 

[Francois Jackson]

I said take a punt if it doesn't cost you anything why not. He has played well at wafl level this year and provided hasn't gone back to the bottle I say nothing to lose. I mean we sign poo idiots like grigg on 3 yr deals so let's not talk about smart decisions from the RFC

We need a quality small forward.

Edwards is for the tip and should be traded

Define "if it doesn't cost you anything"?

First, 2nd or 3rd round pick? Rookie pick?

As I said the other week he was supposed to meet with Port recruiting folks when they were over there the other week, pre-planned meeting with him and his manager and he didn't show claiming to be "unwell" but his WAFL team wouldn't say what "unwell" meant

Based on that he isn't worth the risk

Troy Taylor was a late pick (50 odd for memory) so you can argue he cost us nothing but the way people carried on you'd think he'd been a wasted 1st round pick.

So as I said and define "if it doesn't cost you anything"?

The kid can't get out of the goal square anymore. Lazy prick.

[Sandtiger]

I saw him and his entourage in the TAB on the weekend before the qualifying final he had to play.. coincidentally played very average.. isn't culture what AFL clubs heavily invest resources into though? Choc shaped Dusty up, i think with the talent Dayle could become he is worth the risk of a 2nd round pick.

didnt know about that port thing. if its confirmed stuff him.

If not then 3rd round or rookie.

i dont know anything about the guy or if he has truly turned the corner, but WP we haven't had one descent since as long as i can remember.

gee i would love a Ballantyne or Milne at our club. Shane Edwards poor mans aboriginal.

[Francois Jackson]

they are/were very good footballers. Throw in Walters too.

gee even gartlett is a better footballer than Edwards

Edwards must be traded if you ask me. We need to be bold and bring in some class and he is far from that with his 5 good games a year rubbish

[Judge Roughneck]

We got bigger problems than Shane Edwards. Imo

It was reported in one of the Sunday papers (can't remember which one) a couple of weeks back. Quoted Rhode (port's footy dept chief) and someone from his WAFL club confirming he was a know show. Rhode said Port wasn't happy

I heard he really wants to come to Victoria to play and as such he didn't want to show interest in Port.
Has been killing it in the WAFL this season.
Would be a handy player at the tigers.

Sometimes you have to role the dice with some of these players.  Although I wouldn't use our first round pick, a second rounder isn't too far off the mark.

not disputing he's been tearing it up in the WAFL. Have also read he'd prefer to come to Victoria

But that's not the point.

The fact remains he had scheduled meeting (organised by his own manager none the less) with recruiting people from an AFL club and he failed to show. Neither he or his manager gave an reason why he didn't show. They left that to his WAFL club to explain when the Port officials turned up at his WAFL club for the said meeting. Terrible look from a bloke who a month earlier was giving interviews to the media about how wasn't going to stuff his 2nd shot if it presented itself

Now considering all AFL clubs talk to one another and too a large degree they all know what each other is doing I would think it hasn't helped his cause to much, bad look

You are assuming one big thing WP.
Maybe he has been told not to show interest in anyone else by a certain club as he will be guaranteed a spot.
