Jeff Garlett to Richmond?

[lamington]

We've already got enough mentally weak player at Richmond

+1 on this. Don't need Jeff Garlett. He didn't take being a sub well under Malthouse and had a sook. I lol'd a bit when he got dropped the following week. has Hayden Ballantyne re-signed with Freo yet?

I thought that was Yarran

[big tone]

In terms of genuine small forwards in the game, where would you rate him?
IMO he is up there. Small forwards aren't  going to get 30 touches a week. And they aren't even going to kick bags of goals every week. The good ones put on forward pressure and kick maybe 2 goals on average.
Garlett is better than any small forward we have by a mile.
We get him and we can trade or delist the some of the following giving us more room to draft for other holes in our side. - Edwards, King, Lloyd, McDonough, Gordon, Newman. (All of which have been tried in that small forward role) surely you rate Garlett better than any of these blokes as a small forward?
As well as get Garlett, draft another small forward and hope he pushes Gartett out eventually.
IMO getting Garlett fills a hole we have had since Chris Nash.

He has kicked 12 goals in 9 games this year.  Not good enough for a permanent small forward.

Im with doc on this. This stinks of another moneyball job. We can only laugh at the amateurs running the club now. Seriously its a

My bad. It was Yarran. Yeah the mosquito fleet from carlton. I think they're passed their prime (although Betts seems to be doing OK at Adelaide) and I think people are romanticising how good they are only because the mosquito fleet thrash us but aren't that effective against more competent teams

[Judge Roughneck]

As long as they play he in miles position and demote miles long term to the twos 

I'd rookie dayle garlet but

[unplugged]

He has pace.  But seems a bit soft from what I have seen of him.  Great front runner.  He is probably a slight upgrade on Edwards.

Not sure that McDonough has been tried there in the seniors yet BT?  I wish they would because he played a lot of his junior footy there and was dominant.

Won't happen.

Fair argument. Garlett is very quick and is skilful. We badly need a small forward. King is towards end of career. Newman is not a small forward per se. There is a question mark over Gordon. Edwards has not been setting the world on fire. Hope McDonough does develop into a small forward in time but the club may have other plans for him.

[tony_montana]

what will we give carlton in return? Or are we going to give him an offer he cant refuse ala hampson lol

[Tigers of Old]

Edwards has not been setting the world on fire.

No he hasn't in fact he's had a very patchy season but significantly his output is still much better than Garlett.

I would have considered Garlett a few years back but not sure now.
Need to be exceptional to make it in that specialist small forward role.
Ballantyne, LeCras, L Thomas, Harvey, Betts.. are the yardstick.

[Diocletian]

Garlett is easily better than Shankwards and has the pace we so desperately need......problem is he's still not that good and if Malthouse can't get his arse in gear, we're no hope..........pass....

Is Dayle Garlett Jeff's son?
