Agree. Along with McLean and the general increase in effort, he was the catalyst for the much improved 3rd. Good pace, reasonable size (up not out at this stage) and pretty handy disposal.

 

I said to my mate in the third "garland, our best forward option, unfortunately he's also our best back option" this was followed 15 minutes later by the claim that garland "is now our best midfielder too"

A bit of a joke, but also a claim that this boy can play, is growing, and could become something special

Garland is living proof why when young players have bad games, it doesnt mean they are absolute duds. Will be a 10 + year running back, i liken him to Dustin Fletcher, without the unco-ness.


possibly the next Matthew Scarlett? a lot of similarities in his game... not to put pressure on the kid or anything... but great potential there... potential he's starting to realise...

top drafting CAC... taken in the 40's...

Too early to tell really, but thats not a bad comparison to draw. He does seem to move and play very similarly. All he needs is the body.

Going very good, only knock is he loses a bit of concentration with his spoiling sometimes and lets a few get behind him and into dangerous areas

 
Too early to tell really,

hence the word possibily :lol:

if he does get a little more size he could be a fantastic defender... but then he looks like he could play anywhere...

That's what I was saying to myself the whole way home re the Morton disaster today....


I am in love with Garland.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Garland and Petterd, not to mention Grimes, Frawley, Maric, Cheney, Zomer, Morton et al were recruited by CC in the last few years?

Way too early to make the call on CC's recruiting abilities.

There's definitely a future.

Oh no Bob!

What have you done...


He looks too much like Chris Lamb. I'll wait to see how he goes next year to give my judgment.

At least he doesn't play like him :lol:

I listened on SEN (worst ever btw, next time I'll get the ABC) and KB told me at least 5 times that Wheatley had been our best. I'll try to use my imagination to fill in the blanks with Garland, because I barely heard his name during the call.

Listening on the radio utterly sucks.

ABC would be great except for Drew Morphet, he's the only reason why I don't listen to them all the time

I am still replaying his mark in the forward line in the 3rd quarter in my mind. Fair to say, no other forward option we currently have can take a mark like that. With 3-6 extra KGs, we may have found something quite special.

yeah he does that quite a bit, usually when he goes for the huge punch over the top and either misses or it skims through the back. i think he'll start hitting them cleaner with time. what i like about him the most is that he will get beaten on occasions on the lead, but he rarely gets out positioned one on one.

 

I had grave doubts of his ability early in the year. He is now one of the only positives to come out of the season! Could prove to be a very versatile swingman!!

think a rising star nomination might be in store for col this week...

If he keeps improving at the rate he is going, he could damn near win the whole thing.

Unfortunately, he won't be the popular pick over the likes of Palmer, Kreuzer and Cotchin. But which one of them will have played themselves into one the most important and best players on their team by the end of the season? Maybe Palmer.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
