Well I was one of the only ones from the start talking him up as I knew him when he was drafted and he is still a very good mate of mine so I agree with you but I hope that post wasnt aimed at me because I was the one who was talking him up from the start.

Not you mate.

With regards to the original poll is there a both option?

I'd love him to be one of those players that does the job in defence for 3 quarters, and then is swung down forward in a tight last qtr and be a wild card down there.

I see him and Hurley (Ess) being very dangerous swingmen in the future.

GOOD NEWS !!!

Just speaking to Col. He will start running next week and is happy about the recovery from his foot. Very confident

That really is good news ..he is a very exciting prospect if he can get back to full fitness.

If he can take up where he left off he will be a very important part of our side .... wherever he plays.

For mine, I will be happy with any contribution to the senior team we get out of the following players after a disastrous 2009: Garland, Wonaeamirri, Blease & Strauss

Absolutely, in essence they are new recruits, which on paper looks pretty damn exciting. However I'd say 2010 will be very much a, dare I say it, "week to week' proposition for these guys. They will all spend time playing at Casey and are going to have to work really hard after missing such a chunk of football.

I can vouch for him being a good bloke. Fantastic news that he is back and moving, hopefully his athleticism remains because last time i saw him he seemed like he had stacked on a nice amount of muscle.

I laugh hard and long reading these Garland threads. Flash back to Round 1 & 2 2008, the vitriol and pure ignorance that was posted here was a disgrace. Now after a long layoff and a promising 2008, he is the missing link. Displays the worst of forums such as this and the fickleness of supporters.

This was before my time, but I've done a search and I must say most posters were positive towards Garland apart from just a few. However, I agree with your last sentence in other matters.

Did Hannabal really go back and delete all of his comments from that thread about how he thought Garland was crap? He actually made several comments, but now all that's left are the quotes from others' posts.

Wow, that's pretty vain! It's putting your nuts on the line and then finding a time machine after you've been castrated!!

Talking to a mate who had lunch with a few Demon officials a few weeks ago, they said Col hasn't come up, and is still in a very bad place. Pretty much said he's F**ked

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
