Argh. Damn it. That's bad. Let's just hope they fix it first time and this doesn't become a recurring problem.

On the flipside, that means Valenti must be in line for a promotion to the senior list.

Already discussed this in another thread, don't think they will promote Valenti, unless one of the midfielders suddenly falls over too similar to others, think they will bank the LTI for Spencer for if and when Jamar comes back.....or until Rd11 then if another eight weeks left promote a rookie and Spencer at same time........other rookies including Zomer still a bit raw, especitally if you are not going to play them...although McKenzie sounds like a bit of a wildcard so they could left field and go with him...

You were spot on.

Shocking news.

Yeah, thanks for the info. You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. You are one of the guys that makes this forum what it is. Even if that means delivering the "shitful news."

And on the bright side, at least he'll return to a four month older and better team.

This is real shame but we know he can play and will be a good defender for us. On the positive we will get to see Martin/Frawley/Rivers fill the three key defender roles on hopefully with the first two develope and show something like Garland did.

I'm really disappointed.

With Rivers, Warnock and Martin down the backline, I was hoping that Colin Garland could be released to be converted into a tall forward. He has the mobility and ball-handling, plus the attacking creativity.

I still hope for that, but now it's on the backburner for months.

Marking forwards need to be able to keep their head up with the pack approaching from behind. Garland has this quality.

We need Zomer or no.29 to show the sort of improvement that Cheney has, to provide the marking strength up forward that we lack so badly.

I was surprised how well Ricky Petterd led and held his marks last Sunday, I'd never have picked him as a leading forward.

Probably the ability to time your lead and hold on to the ball at pace is as important as taking contested marks. Contested marks in the forward 50 must only account for a small proportion of goals ,compared to goals from marks by leading forwards.

Soon they'll have to play Jack Watts, there aren't many more players to choose from.

a neighbour who had Lunch with Brad Miller a couple of days ago was told there's a good chance that Jack Watts will play in around 4-6 Weeks. He is apparently doing weight Training Before school & is raring to go. That's all i know.

My thoughts exactly. Gar;and was our worst threat when it comes to signing these two... :)

But seriously folks, I'm stunned the club has admitted the four months. Usually they say 8+ weeks or something, and just shrug their shoulders when the fans start wondering where he is.

It's a real set-back. These are REALLY important years for our defence to figure each other out, and that's the biggest loss right there. But then we have to consider Warnock, Martin and Frawley will get the games Garland won't. Also let's not forget Rivers, who needs games under his belt quick-smart.

Oh. And Valenti slots back in until Jamar comes back. That's a good thing there too.

After watching Colin take major strides in his career last year, he was one player i was looking forward to seeing if he could continue his improvement this year. Such a shame.

I hope the rest of the team takes notice and makes the most of every game they play this year, cause it can end quick.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
