OVERVIEW
Jeff Garlett continued to work his magic in Season 2013 as one of Carlton’s trio of small forwards. The pacey 24-year-old played in 22 games and topped Carlton’s goal tally with 43 majors for the season.
In June, Garlett’s efforts were recognised by AFL Media, who named Garlett and teammate Andrew Walker in the “Mid-season All-Australian Team”.
“Jeffy” heads into the new year as the Carlton’s games record holder in the No.38 jumper, just two games shy of his 100th AFL match.

HE SAID IT
“That was my goal, to work on my endurance and to put more weight on. I think I was about 70-71 kilos last year and now I’m 75 kilos.
“It’s a huge step for me and where I have come from. If you can pressure, chase and tackle, you reap the rewards.” – Jeff Garlett on his form this season, Seven Network.
THEY SAID IT
In the four games Jeff Garlett has kicked four goals this year, Carlton has won them all. Should make it five wins from here. #AFLNorthBlues
