2012 Player Review - # 20 Colin Garland

Demonland
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Colin had a very strong patch of form between Round Two and Round Nine, playing on high quality small forwards.  He was very consistent, and was forced down forward through our injuries.  He had an immediate impact.  Colin was very much a flexible player for us in 2012.  His leadership improved immeasurably after he was thrust into the leadership group.  He is very popular among the playing group, and will once again really attack the pre-season next year and look to increase strength and speed and endurance. - Jade Rawlings (backline coach) melbournefc.com.au

    Really rate him, however when he was put up front he had the accuracy of Ben 'Dutchy' Holland...

    Had some well documented brain fades this year. Other than that, like him as player and usually plays with intelligence. Versatile and committed.

    Played one of the worst games I've ever seen a Melbourne player play against Port Adelaide in Darwin. Garland's got some great attributes, but he is also prone to silly mistakes. He's got the "kick off one step," casual approach to footy that I imagine thousands of weekend warriors all around Australia also have.

    He needs to get that crap out of his game. If not, it's going to be a long three years for me watching him play.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
