CARLTON'S mercurial goal-kicker Jeff Garlett was left in hospital after a brawl involving more than five men in the CBD on Sunday.

The out-of-form forward was injured in the affray outside a bar in Lonsdale St shortly after 5am.

Garlett, from Pascoe Vale, suffered lacerations to his head and was taken by ambulance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital for treatment.

The Herald Sun understands Garlett had been outside the bar with a friend when the altercation occurred.

Police arrested four men at the scene who were charged with affray, recklessly causing injury, unlawful assault and other assault offences.

A 26-year-old Hampton East man, a 24-year-old Endeavour Hills man, a 22-year-old Oakleigh man and a 26-year-Springvale man were charged and bailed. They will appear before a magistrate on October 28.

Garlett, who has played 107 games for the Blues since being drafted as a rookie in 2009, was dropped from the senior side in round 12 after a loss to Geelong.

He had played for Carlton's VFL side Northern Blues against the Casey Scorpions on Saturday before heading out on the town.

The club has been approached for comment and it is not known if they were made aware of the altercation in which their star forward was injured.

Garlett was the Blues' leading goal-kicker in 2013, booting 43 for the season.

Sunday was his birthday so he probably just went out with a couple of mates to celebrate. Poor guy. The article on AFL.com says he turned up for a recovery session with the VFL blokes in the morning so luckily it wasn't to serious

The Richmond supporters are jealous Vin because they haven't had a decent small forward in the last half decade.
