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.

Haha yeah and to think hes not confident of being picked when hes fit lol think he'll struggle. Hes all good people

You've shamed the MFC website. ;)

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
