    Garlett Gonski

    Dayle Garlett, back to WA and can't say I was surprised. Too bad for the youngster, but hope it was a good experience for him. On the up side, Hawthorn can't promote anyone from their rookie list mwwwhaha. Should have kept him at a lower level for a bit.

          I just hope he has left for the right reason and not because it was to hard and he can just slip back into his old life and routine at home.

              If the papers are to be believed it was a combination of not being able to adjust to the required professionalism as a AFL Footballer and the fact he was homesick. Maybe being a good state footballer will be good enough for him.

                  A few weeks back one of the paper's was reporting he was also struggling with the level on the field, and that despite the huge wraps on him, AFL wasn't as easy as he was expecting.

                  I was in agreement with the club that he wasn't worth the gamble. Plenty of talented kids hit the AFL system and can't cut it, and many of them are more committed than Garlett. That he balled before round 1 isn't a huge surprise.

                  That's without factoring the off field stuff.

                      He's been told his old WAFL club doesn't want him back. It'll be interesting if another club will take him on.

                          He'll probably make more money at another level down and be under way less scrutiny too.

                                  This. Sounds like the bloke just needs to get back to playing footy because it's fun.

                                              More importantly it will be a wasted life if he doesn't turn it around.

                                                      Yep - a number of supporters wanted us to take him, including mjp, but this was a decision pretty easy to make IMO. Hawthorn probably figured they could take a risk, but they quickly realised they shouldn't have.
