Garland As a Forward

...so we can find a spot for Rivers??

Garland is a capable defender who can play on smalls and talls, has good pace and drive and is part of an effective defence.

Given we are grooming Watts and we will have Jurrah back soon why would we weaken a strong area for us?

So RR --where would you play Rivers?

    Sorry you're wrong again. We had insufficient entries into F50 and what went in was poorly delivered.

    Dress it up how you like though

    Just out of interest, what were the official statistics for forward 50 entries by both sides and how many marks did each side take in their own forward 50 and in their defensive 50?

    Where would you find these stats?

    This debate is quite interesting. Melbourne had 47 inside 50s to the Eagles' 59 and 5 marks inside 50 to 16. Probably could mount the argument both ways about the performance of the forwards but to me it was a reflection of the poor delivery the mids were providing on the day.

    Interestingly, it was the same inside 50 count as we had against the Roos, with the Hawthorn game (44) the only one worse - seems to support RR's view IMO.

    Also, I seem to recall Garland started his career at Melbourne as a forward but never really looked comfortable in the side until he shifted to defence. Not sure that I see him as the shotgun solution to our short term forward set-up that some believe.

    Damn it. I keep missing this. Where have you heard it? I remember reading that Garland himself said he's been told he's a defender, and that's that.

    I have spoken with DB personally on a number of occasions about Garland. That's where he has stated it.

    If there is no match up...Casey.

    Would you trade him at the end of the year?

    If yes, what would you think would be a realistic return for him?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
