Chris Yarran will be absoultly stoked, their great mates.

 

[jgb99]

Gilly will be happy ...

 

[WeninRome]

looks like another Yarran, sweet.

 

[Silvagnis]

Rapt with this pick.

We still need another small forward with pace.

History shows you can draft quality quick smalls in the rookie draft and find a player.

And Garlett is a teammate of Yarran.

Jeffery Garlett

DOB: 3rd August 1989

Height: 178cm

Weight: 67kg

Preferred foot: Right foot/dual sided

Background

- Played his junior footy for Burracoppin in the EDFL

- Played Swan Districts Colts in 2006 and 2007 (including 1 league game in 2007)

Honours:

2007 WAFL Colts Premiership player

2008 Swan Districts B&F – =6th place (113 votes)

2008 Sandover medal – 10 votes (19 games)

Garlett is a highly talented player – his athleticism is above average and has plenty of tricks and footballing ability to succeed at AFL level. The major issue is getting his skinny body/small frame up to AFL standard and the fact that he hasn't progressed physically since he first entered the colts system is very concerning. Well worth a rookie listing.

Nicely done Hughesy

 

[Bluez]

Looks a ripper..very quick and more tricks that Eddie Betts

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

They love their ink at Swans

 

[Dorotich]

Apparently he is the cousin of Buddy.

 

[LondonCalling]

The long awaited return of the "Draft obscure relatives of halfway decent Hawks players" is here.

Cam Croad better have his phone on.

[Staaar_Blue]

Looks good! Should be good for Yarran too as long as they both are willing to put in the hard yards.

 

[Silvagnis]

Betts is safe...Garlett might take Ellard's spot.

 

[Salaryman]

Gilly will be happy ...

ahh, you know me well...very happy

 

[SA Blueblood]

Don't know much about him, but going on the vision i have seen of him, he seems to have more tricks than Houdini. Hopefully he makes it at the top level and serves us well. We finally seem to be getting some depth slowly but surely. Another 12 months or so and we all won't be praying everyday about not getting any injuries. What date is our 1st Nab game? Now that all the formal crap is done and dusted all we got to look forward to is receiving our memberships and our first game. Can't wait, hanging out for footy already(sigh), another long summer, something tells me this summer will seem to go longer than the last, if that's possible.

Message to Eddie:
You'd better trim all that puppy fat and get into some serious training mate.
Not enough room for Yarran, Gartlett and yourself in the forward line.
This boy WILL come on.

Why no room for 3 quick skillfull small fwds in a fwd line ?

You mentioned him earlier Gilly.....WD

There seemed to be a lot of BF RD love for Jamie Sheehan but he didnt get a gig anyware.....surprised at that ?

Essendon have Jetta, Davey and Lovett and it's dynamic when they're on song.

I'd love to see it. Add Tex in with those boys as well...that'd be dynamite.

Spot on, defenders wouldn't know where to peel off. If they can create good defensive pressure when the ball is going out who know's what they might do.

 

[HBF]

Pretty impressive highlights package there. Didn't know much about him prior til today, but with him, Yarran and Betts in the forward line, we could have a very dangerous and potent attack over the next few years.

he'll want to put on at least 10 kgs though

 

[gbatman]

Good to see some pressure on some of the small forwards now instead of just having Betts and then the dregs if anything.

 

[THE AISSASSIN]

He actually looks quite solid throught the hips and thighs - a good sign.

Upper body will need some work but working at ground level mostly his power will need to come through the core
