Garland in? - who could be out???

Losing Sylvia means we lose run, and Garland doesn't provide that. Although he probably could free Bruce up from defence.

Garland coming in means Macdonald won't have to play on a key forward like playing on Cloke last week, and he will give us the run... Having said that Col Garland is pretty good at giving us some run from the backline too...

Hi Nasher...

Don't be a tool.

So you made an educated guess and got it right. Fact remains that at the time of your post there had been no confirmation that Sylvia was out and Garland was in.

Nasher did the right thing. Don't act like a [censored].

Chest beating and man hugs aside, I thought Garland did very well today considering he hasn't played in over a year.

Hasn't lost his agility, pace or smarts and is still a delight to have out on the ground. Would love to see him tried up forward at some point this season.

Was it uneducated?

No, like I said, it was an educated guess. You observed that 2 of the 3 emergencies played the night before, and that Cam Schwab posted on Twitter in Garland's favour.

Like I said, when you said it it wasn't a fact.

Great signs I thought. Looked a little behind the play at times but he attacked the contests and was generally in the right spots at the right time.

We're a better team when he's in it (and playing well).

His first game in a year and we win... coincidence? :P

Yes B)

Haven't watched the replay and whilst I thought he was decent I'm still not sure I'm thrilled he was brought straight in. But play on.

Again I will ask, was it an educated guess?

To stop this rot - I knew he was in, but refuse to reveal my source.

You didn't. But that's how you acted, especially with your 'Hi Nasher' post, and the fact that you said 'Garland is in'.

Who cares really. So long as you don't brag the next time your post is edited to reflect a more accurate picture despite you being right, it doesn't matter.

This surprises me. I didn't think Garland would be fit. I also thought Sylvia would be ready.

If we had doubts over Sylvia, and I think we did because there was an article a couple of days ago saying we'd be giving Sylvia every chance, shouldn't we have left Cheney out of the Casey team? Losing Sylvia means we lose run, and Garland doesn't provide that. Although he probably could free Bruce up from defence.

Your right TU, but for both to come in, two must go out. Obviously as a club, we got to play our kids to get them up to speed & today i saw first hand, in the first half of todays game that we, at the moment, severely lack midfield running power, thats why Bennell, IMO, kept his spot. By the way, he played much better toward the end of todays game.

Garland Had to come into the side, as no other real match up was available for the Birdman. So, I believe, garland got the Nod, ahead of risking Sylvia this soon after his broken Jaw.

IMO, we are in a predicament, being immature through the middle atm, until we get Morton & Sylvia. Jetta, & Wonna will IMO, come back through Casey Scorps soon.

Injury List

Injury list as at 6 April 2010

- Jared Rivers – Knee – Test

- Colin Sylvia – Jaw – Test

- Neville Jetta – Groin – 1-2 weeks

- Austin Wonaeamirri – Hamstring – 2 weeks

Don't misquote then - simple. Sh!ts me to tears when people are accused of inaccurate things from people misquoting or misparaphrasing.

Also, don't accuse me of editing a post so I can brag. The posts I edited were well before team sheets were lodged, and the only reason I did it was so Nasher didn't have a heart attack.

Question - is Titan Uranus and Nasher 1 person?

Whatever the answer, read my posts tool. I was right, and an admin was wrong. More than happy to move on, as long as my request for consistency from Admin is accepted. Very similar to AFL umpires!

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
