Scandal Breaking News: Garlett appeals prison sentence, wants to revive career

[Silent Alarm]

He's finally realised pre-season training is preferable to having his date punched in.

I always think there's something freudian about people who bring up prison rape when no one else has...

 

[Dan]

I'd rather see Relton Roberts get another chance than this kid.

 

[DapperJong]

He blew it when he was already on thin ice

haha nice one

 

[Righteo]

Why shouldn't he be given another chance in society.

The purpose of a prison sentence "should be" rehabilitation. Garlett desereves the opportunity to show he has learned his lesson.

If we are not to give him a chance, why is Freo recruit Shane Yarran allowed to play?

Absolutely, an opportunity he should pursue once he's completed his sentence. Which is why your comparison to Yarran, who served his time and has shown the signs of his rehabilitation, is really silly.

 

[pluggeranddoc]

Only an incredibly idiotic organisation would take a chance on him now. I look forward to seeing him line up in Essendon colours.

And then St Kilda would offer a first rounder to them as he is more skilled than Lovett and Carlisle!

 

[AmellyPies]

I'd be all for another chance but what hes done I don't he'll get it.

Worked for Ablett...

Because he did his sentence?

Danyle needs to do his and his and then worry about what he plans to do. Saying you're sorry and rehabilitated doesn't necessarily make it true.

Since Andrew Krakouer played for Collingwood after going to jail for beating the shit out of someone, anything's possible.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I can't see why he shouldn't be aloud to play

shouldn't be aloud to play

Hey, hey, hey .......... back up there !!!.

He gave his all winning a premiership for the Black Ducks, then went to Collingwood.

I think he saw going to Collingwood as a bit of a let down after playing with Tallan Ames ..........

They don't make jumpers that big.

Troubled superstar Dayle Garlett is appealing his prison sentence, saying that he wants to revive his career. Garlett is currently serving 4 years and 8 months behind bars for a litany of offences, the worst including burglary, car theft and dangerous driving. His lawyer claims the sentence is excessive and that it is in the interest of rehabiliitaion for Dayle to start playing again.

Personally I think it would be a farce if Garlett was allowed to play and get bail so soon. It's not as though his offence was a once off, he committed multiple offences knowing full well what he was doing. He deserves to be behind bars for the sake of society.

What do you think?

I always like to see people turn their lives around and love to see people given every opportunity to do so. that said, most of them let themselves down again and again.

 

[Adam Marrett23]

Troubled superstar?? Big call for a bloke who played no games.

 

[matt_bas]

If he somehow got out it would be a very brave/stupid club that took a chance on him.

I can think of one club that stupid, they even still have room for him to play this year!

Which one?

 

[1970crow]

He probably penned the article himself

 

[Power Raid]

Hard to see a club taking a chance on him when others whose indiscretions / issues have been comparatively minor who weren't afforded another look-in.

How likely would even a reduction in his sentence be? Would have thought fairly remote, but don't know the ins and outs.

Pretty good I would have thought. I understand our prisons are full and WA has early release programs for indigenous inmates.

 

[yodellinhank]

Which one?

The one who struggled to settle in to the life of a league footballer at Hawthorn, and found himself in court shortly after.

 

[HBF]

Do the crime, do the time. Pretty simple really.

 

[MontgomeryBurns]

Shame for him that he's not still a Hawthorn listed player. Could have gotten the 'good bloke' discount.... meh meh meh

ownership of a problem can be difficult for criminals
