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

    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!

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
