Garland is a very good observer and reads the play quite well. He always seems to be on the lookout onfield for not only his opponent but identifying any opposition getting to dangerous positions down back. He'll back himself to be first to the pill by leaving his man when warranted and help out a teammate to provide an optional outlet by linking up. Astute observer and a quiet achiever.

    Excellent little article which provides some insights into Garlo which I certainly wasn't aware of.

    What an amazing coaching move - Watts back and Garland forward. Garland can mark, get good body position - just needs to work on the set shots.

    Great move! He's started to look a little stale down back this year. Seemed to have a lot more energy & looked to be enjoying his footy.

    It helps when you've learnt your trade down back and then go forward. He put pressure on their defence all night and PLAYED IN FRONT. Certainly needs to work on his kicking, but unlucky not to have that last mark.

    It's good to see Neeld's move pay off.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
