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 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.

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?).

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.

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.”

Fantastic!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
