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!!

OMG.

Anyway, here's hoping that Colin gets back to where he was 15 months ago.

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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
