Dayle Garlett - Worth the Risk??

Doubt our recruiters are scared nor pull the trigger early.
More likely have done their homework and gone to get who they wanted

"Hawks confirm Garlett won't be considered for AFL or VFL in near future. Told club this week he was struggling to cope w/ elite demands."

Interesting to re-read this thread.

LMAO at the experts saying we should have picked up Garlett.

Stressed Garlett to take break

Hawthorn recruit Dayle Garlett will not play football for the foreseeable future after telling the club that he is struggling with the demands of life as an AFL footballer and the adjustment to professional sport.

Garlett, 20, was on the brink of walking away from an AFL career, having battled to deal with the rigours of AFL life. He had a crisis meeting with senior club figures where a compromise was reached to try to keep him in the game.

Garlett sent a text message to a number of friends asking for help and advice about what to do in his predicament, saying that he loved AFL football but also yearned to return to Western Australia.

Hawthorn said Garlett went to coach Alastair Clarkson and football manager Chris limpan on Thursday to tell them that he was battling with the stress of his new life and the expectations on him to perform and was considered walking away from the game.

Garlett has had trouble sleeping and eating as he deals with the move across the country and beginning a new life as a footballer in the spotlight.

Hopefully he walks away from hawthorn and we can GET GARLETT!!!!!!

[YellowandBlackBlood]

He is stressed and hasn't even been exposed to senior game day football.

Another wise decision from the RFC.  We can hardly cope with Dusty at the moment let alone have another troubled soul.......

sorry for the kid..but at this stage glad we gave him a miss

[tigs2011]

I said this kid wouldn't make it. We did a lot of due diligence and gave this kid every possible chance to be an RFC player, but he's a complete moron.

I'll put my hand up, when Hawks made the call I put more faith in their judgement than our own clubs - I was wrong - well done RFC!

get it done Blair. 

Delisted FA. 

[Diocletian]

Talent like that is worth the risk...either way, Garlett not playing v Hampson playing, both have the same effect of leaving us a man short.

I'm sure Whorethorn new what they getting in for, its just that as reigning premiers you can afford to take that higher risk pick than those still trying to get their list up to standard.
