Showed his commitment this year in the WAFL ... a BIG f#$!* u to let this kid slip through .... ridiculous, have our recruitment people been drug tested lately??!!
Absolute bloody bullshit from the one person in every crowd! I for one would not have been a happy chappy if the club used either 6 or 10 on him......
If he was available at pick 67, maybe. Then again, maybe not. He has a terrible history of displaying behaviours of concern.
So bugger off and don't blame Hine for being intelligent and sensible...

Not necessarily. I think it's been well known that clubs have shunned him and the hawks knew if anything he was going to go late. I think it was a pretty smart move waiting for their 2nd pick to snare him just so they could get an extra better quality player. I think if the pies had a 3rd rounder to spend then the hawks would have definitely spent their first selection on him, just because we're probably the only other club that has the resources to pull this kids head in.
Hine & co. vindicated by this turn of events. Hopefully the people on here criticizing our recruiting department will pull their heads in a bit and realise they are in a far better position to judge whether or not a risk like that is worth taking than we are.

Absolutely spot on.
The club knows best not only with recruiting but with team selections, players, form, injuries, the whole damn lot because THEY are privy to information we are NOT, hence we can only ever speculate, guess and never make fully informed comments here about club decisions and choices.

You'd imagine they'd orchestrate a trade to a WA club at this years draft.
He has been released from his contract. No trade can be made. He will play in the WAFL this year, and it is unlikely he will play AFL unless he can mature significantly.

I wouldn't have been disappointed if we'd picked him up with a late ND pick or rookie pick. Hindsight is a marvelous thing. Always a shame when talented kids don't realize their potential.

I must admit I had huge reservations right from the very start about his beviours of concern. Hats off to Hine and co is all I can say as they made the correct decision at the time.

Mate, he made some very concerning comments, "cooked" is a word used by meth heads, and to use that word whilst posting a pic of himself with eyeballs resembling dish plates was less than subtle, I think the most damning thing is neither of the WA clubs wanted nothing to do with him, and they would know more than any other AFL club.

I mustn't be hip to slang here, but if I read this right he's been convicted of a burglary in Perth?
Great guy. No sympathy here. If you want to throw away an AFL career and choose crime instead then so be it. At least we wont have to hear what a mistake it was not drafting him (again).

Case study in what could have been.
Fallen AFL recruit Dayle Garlett may still have had a future at the top level before he was this week charged with criminal offences.
The 20-year-old, who walked away from Hawthorn six months ago, is accused of stealing a vehicle from Caversham on September 13. It is alleged he used the car during an aggravated burglary on a home in Greenmount.
Fairfax Media understands the one-time boom prospect was still being considered by some AFL recruiters, if he could turn his troubled off-field life - and stalled on-field career - around.
But it now appears Garlett will be lost to the AFL forever, following the recent allegations against him.
