Really enjoyed that article.

He's come a long way since his debut last year when he looked like that 'unco' kid who you couldn't believe was getting a game.

I reckon one or two panelists may give him a vote in the NAB rising star.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention the bigfooty.com incident when Garland bagged Neitz as being the worst captain in the AFL the season before he got drafted.

    Good to finally see some recognition for the defender.

    "In 300 minutes of playing on Nick Riewoldt, Alan Didak, Robert Murphy, Brett Burton, Hall and Rioli, Garland did not concede a goal".

    This was a great line from the article.

    That could have been awkward

    I'd like to see some really in depth analysis of Garland in relation to the "300 minutes" stat.

    Zac Dawson played 70 minutes on Rocca and Rocca didn't kick a goal, only problem was that in the other 8 minutes Rocca kicked 8 goals. Depending which minutes you chose

    I am positive Reiwoldt kicked a couple on him, but the others are spot on. He was unlucky against Bradshaw and even a couple of Buddy's, but got he towelled up Motlop last week, first week back from a hammy.

    Garland shows a certain kind of desperation playing as backman that reminds me a little of Craig Bolton. I think we will find it hard to move him forward, because it is pretty hard to replace players with great closing speed and spoiling techniques, and can also play on bigs and smalls. We've got ourselves a gem in Garland i reckon.

    Wow, I must have missed something. Is there a link about this somewhere?

    Why don't you try the first post by the OP.

    The BigFooty comment wasn't really that much chop from memory, he just queried why Neitz was included in a 'best CHF' or similar poll between about 5-6 players.

    I'll bet the players all had a good laugh about it and moved on

    They are talking about the Big Footy thing.

    P.S. What happened with that?

    OK

    I read 'Coldawg's' comments a couple of years back. They were no big deal.

    he said something along the lines of: it was a joke that somebody thought neitz was a good CHB

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
