There has been some bad news about Jurrah and also some reports saying Colin Garland didnt pull up well. I spoke to Colin last night as most of you know he is a close friend of mine. He pulled up great, foot no longer causes any pain whatsoever. He will play a half Against the eagles and is aiming for round one.

Split this post off from the Jurrah thread - thought it deserved its own thread

Fantastic news, thanks for sharing. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Col can produce last year. Hopefully he can back up a fantastic 2008.

Thanks DT this is great news although I reckon round 1 realistically could be a stretch. He would need to play a half against WC, then full the week after for Casey to be any chance at all. Are you aware whether the intention with him this year is forward or back?

yeah he is hoping for round one. Not sure if he can though. As to positions He hasn't been told any difference in position where he is concerned. So I would assume they will ease him in through the backline. He cant obviously be a main target straight away and he is used to defence so he will need to get the feel and speed of the game back. He hasnt told me he will be a forward so I think we should cool down talk of him being our forward saviour for a bit.

Great to hear DT...... so nice to have a bit of good news on the injury front for a change. Colin is a great prospect. Lets hope that he can quickly pick up where he left off in 2008.

Great news. This kid can play.

Happy for him to play back, especially to get him back into the swing of AFL. After all, like Grimes that is where he has made a name for himself in his short career so far.

I like our defence but we need some extra pace as well. He adds that factor.

If he starts in the early rounds, we could be laughing here. In reality with a year out and little pre-season, you would expect a conservative introduction through Casey. Playing next week for a half sounds great though.

Just out of interest tingles, what happened with the hot spot that appeared a while back ? was it precautionary, as a lot of people feared the worst, seeing players like Egan succumb to foot injuries.

To be honest I'm not sure. He just had a bit of pain and was wondering why the papers went to town on it. Its to be expected after a pretty serious injury. It wasn't enough to worry. I myself get pain there from constantly running and kicking. He just told the docs to make sure

Hopefully one-day we will all see the 2008 rising stars (Aussie-Garland-Morton),line up in the same team as the 2009 rising stars (Jurrah-Grimes). :(

Agree along with 2010 stars- Scully, Trengove and Gysberts whilst Gawn and Blease star in 2011 whilst we wait for young Viney to enter the fray.GO DEES

I have to agree, i'm very suprised that he hasn't been earmarked for the fwd line. It is our obvious weakness. The backline is fairly settled, Warnock, Frawley, Rivers, i cant see the need for another tall defender. I expect Martin and Jamar will share the ruck duties, and i cant see Martin being a solution to our fwd line issues. I say throw Col fwd for at least a few matches and see what he can offer.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
