QuoteSeveral draft specialists believe that WA lad Dayle Garlett may not get drafted at all this coming Thursday.
So serious have his off-field issues been, Garlett who was once touted originally as a top five selection, may now have plummeted out of calculations altogether.
We are not 100% on the finer details surrounding his misdemeanors off field, but Emma Quayle has informed us that 10 clubs have said a blunt "no way" to the possibility of recruiting Garlett.
In the past few days draft experts are all starting to talk about the likelihood of Garlett's name not being read out at all.
While this is just from an FB page, it might not be incredibly accurate, but the page has been reliable so far... :o
Does anyone know what this kid even did?! ???
No idea what he did, but if he was that talented to begin with, you'd think someone would take a shot at him with there last pick.
While there are plenty of success stories in the later part of the draft, most of them don't do anything, so why not?
Unless he really is that bad :/
Bet you he can beat John Worsfold in a time trial

Yeah you would've thought someone would have a crack with a late pick!
Lol yeah I'm sure he could :P
IS this the kid that got kicked out of the Academy??
I seriously doubt it.
Whiel his off-field issues are bad he's just way too talented not to get drafted. Somebody will take a punt with a 4th round pick...surely.
Was one of my favourite players coming out of this draft. :(
There is a picture floating around of him with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Dayle Garlett
(http://i46.tinypic.com/3466kon.jpg)
Birthday - 9/1/94
181cm/75kg
Club - Swan Districts
Fanplanner Price - $128,200
Dayle Garlett (cousin of Jeff Garlett) is an excitement machine who rightly has recruiters and DT coaches licking their lips. He is a left-footed outside midfielder who possesses all the atributes you'd expect from a young indigenous player - speed, goal smarts and quick decision making. He still needs to work on his defensive efforts and aside from that the biggest issue is with discipline. He was kicked out of the AIS-AFL Academy, moved out of home for a period of time and has been plagued by rumours of poor application.
Fortunately he is now back at home, has a steady girlfriend, is contributing to the David Wirrpanda Foundation and working rigorously on building muscle. While doubts still persist about his personality, there is no questioning what he could bring to the table for a club willing to take the punt. He averaged 79.2 DT points in the Under 18 Championships and 77.4 in his 7 WAFL League games this season. Garlett will be closely watched at the upcoming AFL Draft Combine and is expected to be taken in the first 20 picks of this year's draft.

Richmond drafted Tambling over Buddy because Buddy had "off field issues"... look where that got us ::)
We will take Dayle at the hawks, can bunk him with bud.

Yeah I loved his highlights package, think he's a great young talent.
I agree with you, it would be worthwhile taking a punt on him with a later pick for sure! Dane Swan and Dayne Beams have had off-field issues, so have a number of Other players so you'd think he will still get picked up...
You could see why the younger teams and up and coming teams wouldnt want him around.
But teams like Hawthorn, Collingwood, Sydney, Geelong, Carlton who all have strong leadership and good cultures would take the punt and turn him around.
Would not be surprised if the Pies or Swans took him, but i dont think he will be there for the Swans @ 23
I just read about this on Callum Twomey's phantom draft at AFL.com and can't stop shaking my head.
There is no question he is one of the top 20 most talented players in the draft pool. He hasn't stabbed anyone or totalled dozens of cars...give him a couple of years in the system and he'll be a fine player for any club who is willing to take the "risk".

Yeah seen that's as we'll valk. It would be crazy if he didn't get picked up as Garlett is definitely a top 20 pick with talent but off field stuff have put some clubs off. According to Emma Quayle, up to 10 clubs have said the wont draft him at all
will get picked up might be later then expected or in the rookie draft
just need to make him room mates with a senior player and keep an eye on him as said prob better off at a senior team like Swans, Hawks, Pies or Cats
It's pretty easy
If he's application and such is as bad as that guy said, then bottom 10 teams won't select him, but a top 8 team probably will.
He'll get drafted, probably by one of 2012's top 4

The stability that a football club provides should be enough for any young bloke to pull his head in anyway, they dont need to be at any particular club for that.
Those examples you guys gave are just of clubs that are higher up the ladder. Their on field leadership is superior to the lower sides but their off field leadership is no better than the rest imo.
They have all had there fair share of players in trouble and in the headlines in recent history. Collingwood more so than anyone. Sydney probably the only team that I can think of that haven't out of those examples.
If the chance to play AFL for a career isn't enough for him to pull his head in then im sure there are plenty of others less talented more than willing to take his spot
Given Sheedy's experience with indigenous players I always thought GWS would be a good fit for him.

yeah that's where i've had him going, but just thinking about bad off-field issues with such a young side wouldn't be a great idea...

On the other hand, you don't have to necessarily be a 10 year player to provide guidance and be a role model. If he sees a bunch of 19 year olds being professional and achieving their goals then that should provide a certain level of motivation to him.
Also, I thought GWS handled the Taylor Adams situation fairly well and they would have programs in place to manage the off field issues that would arise from a very young list.

all very good points Craigy!
If Garlett was drafted to GWS he and Adams would be running the night life in a few years... ;D

If he doesn't get picked up in the PSD I'm not sure he'll have the drive to keep himself fit enough to be in contention for 2013. :-\
GWS and Sheedy would be a good fit for him, hope the kid can get it all together but he's got to want to and show it by working as hard as he can. Dec 11 isnt far away surely youd be busting your butt to put yourself in the forefront of coaches/selectors minds.
Be a big waste if he cant get it together but its happened before and it will happen again no doubt.
