Deadly Jeff Garlett lights up Carlton's forward-line

A magnificent six-goal display from Carlton's forward with the freakish skills Jeff Garlett certainly impressed Marngrook Footy Show host Grant Hansen and panel members Gilbert McAdam, Ronnie Burns and Alan Thorpe.

They awarded Garlett the maximum 12 votes for round 19 in the Marngrook Footy Show/NITV Deadly Player of the Year.

"Gilly" is confident Garlett can develop into a star performer for the Blues after his career-best display in the big win over Essendon in front of a big crowd at the MCG.

"That's got to give him a lot of confidence," he said.

Garlett gathered 16 possessions, including eight contested as well as finishing with four inside 50s.

North Melbourne star Daniel Wells received four votes and Collingwood young gun Sharrod Wellingham received three votes.

Alan Thorpe loves the smooth-moving style of Wells.

"If Daniel Wells played every game, he could win the Brownlow," he said.

Sydney champ Adam Goodes leads the voting on 45 votes from Wells on 38, Hawthorn forward Lance Franklin on 35, Carlton's Andrew Walker on 33 and Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli on 30.
