Toast Jeff Garlett

[Arr0w]

Jeff was a tortured soul at times

Without going into too much detail, couple of off field situations that I was privy to, consumed his life, but rose above it and fought hard mentally

Gifted

He should be proud of what he has achieved

So much respect for Jeffy Garlett. Always struck me as a wonderful man who gave us some unforgettable moments. I'm glad he was able to finish his career playing some decent footy for Melbourne.

 

[JustaBattler]

Loved him and still do - zeddie/Jeff/Walker/Yarran all on the same ground playing together was shining light on what football is about - silk.

 

[sdfc]

Hopefully he makes his way back to Swans.

 

[Kruezing]

The three amigos were so entertaining to watch ... Yaz for me was a freak ... raw talent personified ...

 

[thylacine60]

be welcome back at the club you'd like to think.........

 

[mediumsizered]

Definitely a Bluebagger. The interlude at the Demons will soon be forgotten about.

 

[GeoCoulthard]

to get to where he did after his personal struggles - sure he was conditional but he got to the summit from places most of us couldn't even imagine - plus he got to bury richmond off his own boot in 2013 (?).........

Agree.

On top of that I remember his resolve. I remember reading an article where it mentioned that this skinny little rookie listed player was asked by the club (I think by one of the coaches) what his aims were for that year and he responded that he fully intended to play in round one. This was an outrageous prediction at the time that no-one thought remotely possible but he replaced Robbie Warnock on the long term injury list and duly played in that round one game against Richmond and scored a goal with his first kick in league football. Talk about beating the odds.

Loved him as a player and that he has been able to overcome considerable adversity in his life. Hope he has a successful and happy life after football.

(What are the chances that our newly listed rookie players could make the same transition into the side?)

post his game sealer in the final against richmond or gtfo!

Imagine if he didn't run all the way into goal.......

 

[FRUMPY]

That game in WA, where Yaz, Garlett and Army ran riot

Unforgettable

Well said.

All the best Jeff. Gave us some great memories. Hope the next phase of life is good to you.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I’ve been around for a long time. Jezza’s goal in the 70 GF and Jeff’s in the elimination final are hard to split. Still get goosebumps.

Put yer glasses on then!!!

Put down your glasses, it's an amigo.

It's an amigo that will finish it.

Kick it Jeffrey...And he does!

 

[SurreyBlue]

Disappointed when we lost him and more disappointed in not fulfilling his potential.
Great to hear his love for the blues is still there and looking forward to seeing juniors running around in Navy.

quit it, george.......

Still remember his first couple games in the pre-season cup, was this incredibly raw skinny kid, but you could see the talent right away. Was marking things a skinny raw kid had no right to and his set shots were iffy, had they not been he could have kicked a mini bag in his first game probably, but you just knew he had something.

 

[GoBlues!]

Loved watching Jeffy play. Especially those run down tackles that left his opponents stupefied.....the look on Boomer's face priceless.

 

[thylacine60]

not many 100 game packages more impressive than that - thanks gb - reckon I'd forgotten just how talented 38 actually was - and didn't he love it?

 

[T2B_]

Think he gave Essenscum one or two 6 goal touchups in his time with us.

We haven't had too many forwards the past decade who can do that, let alone small forwards.

boomer basically got rotary hoed into the turf.........

Army gave the weagles player about 10m, and overtook him at a canter. Garlett with those two awesome shepherds were spectacular!

 

[Stamos]

When the The Amigos were on and in full flight, they were a sight to behold.

That Monday night in 2010 when they carved up the Saints

 

[AlecDuncan]

can't see anything.......

He must be red carded there too.
