Dayle Garlett

Every year, every draft the coaches and recruiters rabbit on and on about the character and integrity of the young men they are recruiting. No surprise whatsoever that Garlett got left behind after him being dropped from the junior academy and seeing his facebook stuff.
AFL players live in a public circus with the media constantly zooming the cameras in for close ups. Just ain't no room for clowns anymore.

A LEADERSHIP group decision on Monday night and a 4am bender in Fremantle last weekend combined to dash Perth teenager Dayle Garlett's hopes of being drafted by Essendon.
Garlett trained with the Bombers last week and, while his form did not overwhelm them, they were still considering him until his weekend exploits.
The Bombers were aware Garlett's return to Perth at the weekend would be a test of his dedication.
But Garlett, whose reputation has tarnished his exceptional talent, effectively sealed his fate with his night out on the town.
Essendon's leadership group was consulted and voted against Garlett being given a place on the list.
The Bombers instead selected Gippsland Power midfielder Will Hams after a brilliant 2km time-trial performance and put delisted forward Ariel Steinberg on the rookie list.
Another Perth teenager, Shannon Taylor, impressed Essendon with his character, but because of his fitness he will play for WAFL club Claremont next season in the hope of making the AFL in 2014.
AFL recruiters across the league are saddened by the lack of progress of a band of junior WA players who seemed likely to set the competition alight until their progress flat-lined in recent seasons.
They include Garlett, Taylor, and Chris Yarran, who was awarded the Kevin Sheehan Medal at the 2010 Under-16 Championships but was not taken in any draft this year.
One AFL recruiting boss yesterday suggested AFL multicultural boss Jason Mifsud catch the first plane to Perth to investigate the continuing problems with indigenous recruitment.
But Mifsud said last week it was untrue to say AFL clubs had gone cold on indigenous talents.
"It is a bit narrow isolating it to indigenous players because I think, equally, there would be other talented players who are being asked to improve their level of dedication and discipline," he told the Herald Sun.
"It is only 20 years ago that AFL lists were made up of one per cent of indigenous players.
"We should not forget we've come a long way in a short period of time."

The Bombers must have had him under close watch.
Then again he probably put the photos up on Instagram. :hihi

Catch the first plane to Perth, Scotland to investigate why Richmond is recruiting so many players with Scottish names is more like it ...and stay there!

Unfortunately, Mifsud is from the Andrew Demetriou Head in the sand brigade, and WILL NOT admit that there is a problemChiang Mai Tiger said:
Mentioned in todays Hun that Shifter Sheehan has been doing a fair bit of work with the kids, coaches n clubs but Mifsud has never been seen or heard from. To busy being the corporate suit to get his hands dirty.
The AFL would be better served sending Matt Rendell over to Perth. At least he would speak the truth.

Sheehan said on radio today he thought Garlett was a cert to be drafted so even the experts get it wrong. In fact, once or twice my posts have been ever so marginally off.

Our man very recently bought a pad in Brunswick area and is moving the bros over from WA. With the family/emotional support and a settled homelife I am expecting big things from Conca this year.

Hammerheads?
Not concerned what junior or ammo footy club he coaches. The concern is that Mifsud is the head honcho in regard to the indigenous and multicultural integration into AFL yet he appears to have little or no direct contact with the leagues, clubs and coaches preparing the young prospects for AFL careers.
