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

[Armitage_Shanks]

No chance.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Others have been semtenced for less for worse crimes.

 

[iBeng]

I stopped reading where it called him a Superstar...

 

[Kwality]

Everybody would kill to have an opportunity to play in an AFL side.

Dayle had the dream and what did he do? Throw it away for stupidity.

I really doubt that any club wants to take a chance on him.......

Not everbody.

Transfer Garlett and give him access to the same program that allowed Andy Krakouer to rehabilitate himself
Krakouer played for the Wooroloo Prison team, which participated in the Mercantile Football Association.
It'd be up to Garlett to earn bail.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

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?

 

[Turkey Tom]

Ideal top up player for Essendon.

 

[Cylon7]

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.

And there are those with absolutley no indiscretions who complain about what was done to them and get life bans.

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

I don't agree - do the crime - do the time - some people can not be rehabilitated- its up to him after he has done the time

 

[Sherrinator]

Garlett smokes rock

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

**** him, what a ruddy loser.

Didn't he develop his drug addiction while at the Hawks? Pretty sure I saw him say that somebody at the club introduced him to it.
The family club at it again.

subtle

adjective
adjective: subtle; comparative adjective: subtler; superlative adjective: subtlest

1. (especially of a change or distinction) so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyse or describe.
"his language expresses rich and subtle meanings"

2. making use of clever and indirect methods to achieve something.
"he tried a more subtle approach"

 

[DapperDon]

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

 

[Xtreme]

Sorry the guy is a lost cause, once bitten twice shy. Belongs in jail.

Look look look he made a a ridiculous spelling error at 1am in the morning point and laugh.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

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

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Bloody hell!!

Seems BigFooty has a lot of members who have never put a foot wrong in their lives!

As far as I can tell, his crimes aren't of a violent or sexual nature.

If footy can't be a vehicle for young men to re-engage with society then footy's pretty worthless in my opinion.

 

[Kram]

I wonder if you would be still saying that if it was your own house that he had went through and robbed.

 

[Milanista28]

Hodgey really messed this kid up aye.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Fishing with the wrong bait today.

 

[Slartibartfast]

In the confines of a cosy cell he realises he would like another shot at playing footy.
Excuse me while I will put my psychic hat on.

Garlett gets released, scores on the way home, gets drunk that night at belts someone who says he will never play footy again.
Next day says he is sorry and really wants to revive his footy career

agree, don't be too judgemental, walk in another persons shoes with a dash of empathy and all that. i see drug addiction as a health issue not a criminal one but that's for another thread.

I'm all for him on playing footy again, but using it as an excuse to get out of jail for his crimes doesn't sit right.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The AFL boys club only accept you and forgive you if you are exceptionally talented or have the score on the board when you commit your misdemeanor.

Garlett got it all around the wrong way.

 

[Glorious couch life]

and all he did was have a negative influence on that teams captain.

Hawthorn still keeping you up at night? Poor thing.

On Garlett; it's a waste of talent and a real shame. Contrition is all well and good, provided it's genuine. As others have said, he's a repeat offender, and I doubt the courts (or footy clubs for that matter) will be moved to change their positions on him.
