As the heading suggests, is Garland back in a moonboot after finding a new stress fracture on his foot?

I heard this, but am not sure whether to believe it or not..

Not trying to scare anyone, merely asking!

    I'll cry if it's true. If he's got serious foot problems he might never recover from them (did he injure the same bone as Egan? The navicular?).

    I spoke with a relative of his last Tuesday (who is a client of mine). At that point Garland was going great guns, pretty much 100% and his relative said how much mussel he had put on and how conservative he was being handled and that he was looking to a massive 2010. As of such I think (pray) this is bs.

    I am due to catch up with his relative during this week and will ask the question if this dirty rumour has not been proven or disproven by then.

    It was a stress fracture in the navicular, but it was much less severe than Egan's injury.

    Even if he IS in a moonboot, its probably just precautionary cos of a little flare up.

    I'll wait to hear it in the papers...

    Pity we could not get an update via our MFC website.

    If True hopefully he had the screws removed recently and this is to cater for that.

    I saw him a couple of weeks ago at our local shopping centre and he had no limp and no moonboot, hope nothing has changed.

    Unfortunately it's true.

    Garland is back in the moonboot. Doctors don't know what happened to make the injury flare up again.

    F&$(!!!!! :(

    For some reason i cant find his page?

    This sux bad if its true.

    Its not on there now, if it was before.

    And he probably removed it due to facebook stalkers causing a rush of over-reaction on forums.

    I'm not worried.

    If it is a flare up then we should be worried.

    What the F,.sei7hb6yt03584i7y-jnhjtcb

    Disaster!!!!!

    Garlands career must now be in the balance. Could well be all over.

    Hi Hutchy, good to see you on the boards. Or is it Maher?

    Calm down. Even if it has flared up, and he misses this season, his career is healthy. And even if we decided to trade him, he'd find himself at another club VERY quickly.

    Next season isn't going to be a flag season. It hurts the club in terms of him missing important development years, and it is a sad setback... but he's nowhere near curtains yet.

    The MFC website has stated the following:

    Dees cautious on Garland injury

    Colin Garland

    The Melbourne Football Club will take a cautious approach with defender Colin Garland, after scans confirmed bone stress in the talus bone of his right ankle.

    Garland will wear a protective boot over the next three weeks to rehabilitate the injury.

    Garland spent the majority of the 2009 season successfully recovering from a stress fracture in his right navicular bone. This, however, is an unrelated stress injury which the Club will continue to monitor on an ongoing basis.

    General Manager of Football, Chris Connolly, said, “The injury has been detected early, and we are going to take a very cautious approach in dealing with it. We are confident that he will recover to be able to perform a critical mass of pre-season training in preparation for the 2010 season.”

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
