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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
