Just like every other club.
Has some severe off field issues, clearly. Even the WA clubs didn't touch him.

This is what I think. Get some good influences around him. Pick him up and get someone like Sloane or VB to mentor or live with him. If no-one picks him up this year he will go in the draft next year and get picked up. Top 10 ability.
Get over it. Garlett could simply be another Troy Taylor and pack it home in under 2 years. Certainly scared off all recruiters.
How exactly is Grigg an overrated junior? He might not turn out, but he is far from overrated at a junior level. Won plenty of key awards and played SANFL seniors in a strong side at 16, not many teenagers can do that.

Any redlegs fans in here?
Anyone heard of a kid named Mitch Wilkins from the Norwood under 18's that missed most of the season with a shoulder reco?

I said last year that he wasn't a worthwhile pick. Never had enough to offer for a team and his main weapon is something that you don't need in the position that he plays. Sometimes picking "footballers" over "athletes" doesn't work out.
Is it just me, or does it appear that the Crows have an aversion to drafting Western Australians? Don't think there are many WA players on our list (apart from VB)
Fair enough, but he is hardly an overrated junior. Plenty of guys of his stature make it at AFL level.

I wouldnt worry about Garlett. Every year theres a guy rated around the first round who ends up not being picked up at all - David Kellett, Will Gayfer, Matt Panos, Roury Kirkby, David Gourdis, Ryan Jackson, Clayton Collard, Ben McEntee, Steve Gaertner were all these players throughout their draft year and ended up either being picked up as rookies or not even picked up at all. To a lesser extent, guys like Sibosado, Manson, Waldhuter are the same. Theres normally a valid reason why they get overlooked and its not like any of those names ever became anything.
Garlett whilst similar is probably a better talent than any of those. Talent only guys so far though. The guy has thumbed his nose at the system and doesnt seem to give a shit about becoming a rich household name. Thats his bad luck.
I wouldnt be spewing over not getting him.

Yeah his sanfl team is awesome
or, you could equally argue that this is the exact reason for us not to take him, and that every other club who had the ability to get real talent in the first 2 rounds should have taken the punt on him. because they already had their low risk, high talent players.
who knows which is the right decision.

Hopefully not getting drafted at all will help wake Garlett up to the reality that he can't just do whatever the hell he likes and still make it as an AFL footballer.

Yes, and hopefully we rookie him if we get the chance.
We have rookie selection #16, and it's our only spot.

Jonathan O'Rourke (pick 2), Jimmy Toumpas (pick 4), Jake Stringer (pick 5) and Nick Vlaustin (pick 9) were all available in the mini draft. Have to keep this in mind.
Crouchy was chosen ahead of all these players. Huge get!

Let's see who turns out the better player. Rory or Garlett. Wanna put some coin on it?
Pavlich didn't get drafted in his first draft, so I guess all those recruiters were right as well.
Reading about and looking at the clips, doesn't look like we could have done any better with such shit picks.
We may as well take a shot if he's there. We've already brought in those 2 other rookies who are likely a project ruck and KPD, and we've brought in another KPD in the ND. Our needs are filled, time to grab a high risk, high reward player IMO.
