The man who was overlooked at the 2012 draft due to behavioural issues has happily settled in Melbourne and is already reaping the rewards on the training track.
The silken midfield/forward is intent on repaying the club's faith after it took considerable gamble, picking the former teen "bad boy" at No. 38 at last year's draft.

 

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Great news, keep up the good work Dayle.
Embrace Hawthorn and Hawthorn will embrace you.

 

[Southern Urchins]

The last midfielder who was going to "repay the faith" at Hawthorn, ended up and Collingwood 4 weeks later via Free Agency.

Wonder how that worked out for him?

 

[phreeze77]

sick of the headline 'bad boy' .. ffs he had a drink and a smoke ... now he is a perennial 'bad boy' ... give the kid a break.

That stigma will stick with him for the rest of his playing career because you see,, he plays for Hawthorn!!!

Clinton Young?

That about sums it up. The press wont let up on him, so he'll have to win the NAB rising star to take some heat off.

^^^ dosent matter what dribble the press talk about…garlett can always have the final say, on the football field, that does the loudest speaking of all & he has that opportunity

 

[grizzlym]

Looking forward to seeing him play. On the footy field, that is.

It would have been the same at any other club
Why do you and so many like you play the whole 'everyone has it in for Hawthorn bs'?

Campbell Brown has been gone for 4 years yet people still make the connection to Hawthorn with his off field behaviour and don't get me started on how many think Franklin has been ' a protected species' by the AFL which reared up its ugly head late 2012 !! Even so much as having some footy journos joining in the garbage. I can't believe I had to explain myself...now that Brown then Franklin have flown th coup Garlett will be the one watched closely.cuz you see, he comes from the same team..still nothing??

 

[Superstar swan]

Scary news for the rest of the comp. you guys landed yourself a future champion. Biggest steal in any draft that I can recall. You will have some fun with him running for ur club

Just for once, I'd like to read about Garlett without the words "Bad boy" emblazoned across the article. Seriously, the football media could all get jobs writing soap operas.

It's part of the fun, isn't it? Nobody is foolish enough to actually believe that their club is targeted by the AFL/media/aliens, but it's fun to pretend it's 'them against us'.

Fixed it for you

 

[Rushed_Behind]

I didn't get anything from the article except he attended a draftees info session.

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Clinton Young?

Der

Dont worry, when he becomes a star at our club, your good buddy, pal, dictator demetriou will find a way for your club to offer him a contract that no other club can match.... .

Seriously, we as supporters are very excited about having him. Big 2014 for the Hawks!!

Did your printer run out of ink, SHAKESPEARE?

 

[nickrebellious]

We released Clinton Young in the same way we did Xavier Ellis last year.

You need to take your brown and gold goggles off mate and realise every club has there few players that cop the wrath of the media/umpires. It's embarrassing to read Hawthorn supporters in here whingeing that the world has it in for us.

Don't put a ceiling on it. No limitations.

 

[nickrebellious]

I'd make him follow Puopolo step for step in the match simulation.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

He's made his bed and has to lie in it for while, for mine.

If he keeps on the stright and narrow, he'll be a 'bad boy' this year, a 'yester year bad boy' next year, and it will probably be forgotten they year after.

Really hope he has a great year and is able to get some time at AFL level. With Pops, Rioli and Breust in the team, he'll have to work hard for a spot.
