GARLAND IS CITY SAVER

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.

I liked the line" Newton could be anything if he worked at it"

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.

That stuck out to me too.

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

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

They are talking about the Big Footy thing.

P.S. What happened with that?

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

OK

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

Coldawg

Well there's his new nickname.

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

You should be thanking me for providing his username.

Anyway...no worries.
