from the AFL website

Having received positive feedback from clubs about his turnaround, he said the ideal scenario would see him drafted to Victoria.


However, he would be just as happy if offered a chance by one of the two clubs in his home state.


"I reckon I'm ready to play AFL football," Garlett said.


"I would love to go somewhere in Victoria, just so I can be a nobody and focus on my football.

Nah, I guess he wouldn't. In this case he would be a strong supporter of 'restraint of trade'
Look forward to a response from the man himself!!

For Freezin's and 58shark's benefit let me put it as simply as I can. I have no desire to prevent Dayle Garlett from playing in the AFL. Further, though it hardly needs to be said, I have no power to prevent any of the AFL clubs from selecting him for their club in the ensuing draft. However, let me also point out to you I am most assuredly against him being selected by Freo or the Eagles and lining up in the WAFL to play for Peel or the club formerly known as East Perth against Swan Districts. I would also like to add another club to my not preferred category. That club is Essendon, given their reprehensible behaviour during the 2011 season and their treatment of Garlett post-2011 season.

Also, it is completely obvious that both the draft and salary caps are restraints of trade.

Finally, it was not my decision not to draft Garlett prior to the 2013 season.

yep cheers for that 42......now unlike you mate, I hope Kerr suits up in the WAFL next year.....if not for EF than so be it with another club......good for the comp to have a player of Kerrs ilk running(hobbling) around......but TBH if the guy does play for another club, I do expect EF to play hard ball and ask for a 10 - 15K transfer fee thank you very much.....sentimentality only goes so far eh 42?

Started to read an article in the ST today that said Kerr was approached by Claremont and West Perth...but then I noticed it was written by Hagdorn so didn't bother reading the rest. If hagdorn said that, then Kerr was probably approached by Perth Glory or the Wildcats
Anyway, hope he does put an appearance in the WAFL somewhere, albeit an odd cameo appearance.

I sense Kerr could just end up like another Wirrapunda. a lot of hype for little output . I cant see his heart being in it totally but who knows

I would prefer to call it loyalty. You will never convince me that if NicNat was required to play WAFl his preferred option would be to play for Swans. Similarly for the rest of the Swabs' boys. I suspect that would also be the case for the vast majority of WA players aligned to the Eagles and Dockers.

As to why Kerr doesn't want to play for East Freo - perhaps you can explain why Freezin!

apparently lives in the northern suburbs 42.....travel issue supposedly....but hey you are a Hagdorn fan 42, surprised you didn't know this already?

Noticed Hagdorn did not have a quote from CFC or WPFC-good chance he made it up.
