Garland in? - who could be out???


The Chazz

Recommended Posts

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...

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.

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!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
