Col Garland's opinion

Featured Replies

Saw Col tonight at Coles and had quite a long chat to him.


He said that Dank is a crap stirrer and that he doesnt think any repercussions will be handed to Melbourne.

He told me although it's abit of a worry for supporters, dont read into it too much as we did nothing illegal.

 

Where is hells gates? That shudda been one of ur questions

Agree that there may well be nothing illegal about the drug issues per se.

The problem is the further erosion of trust in the Board by those who matter - the AFL and us.

Was he in the vitamins queue?

He was in the supplements (protein shakes isle)

hahaha.

But he was quite adamant that Melbourne were clean, although i know he cant give away much.. he seemed real genuine and honest.


This is why i am amazed players names were exposed last night...And i can guarantee 7.30 would have checked out the Legals...They are right on to that.

shell shocked probably,,,

after all the bad press, & all the months of murmurings, & off field attacks from the Media, Caro, & the AFL... wouldn't you want to go to ground,,, if you knew you had done nothing wrong?

Although well be hammered by the media, stay strong.

Col seemed chilled about it, so lets be chilled.

Go dees on sunday.

He was pretty excited for the potential win on sunday.. you could see it in his eyes.

do you think there is any circumstance where he'd have said "I'm really worried cos I reckon a few blokes are right in the shitter"

wouldnt put too much store on Col's ability to determine whether we have anything to worry about from the AFL and even less store on the likelihood he'd blab even if he thought it likely they were going to crucify us


and fwiw I think that ability to project a positive, confident position that everything is ok is a real positive for Col.

did you ask him how he can call himself a footballer when he conceded about 5 goals personally in the 3rd quarter last week?

Let this be a lesson. never ever send a text message to Dank. He has a habit of keeping them

i think you'll find that providers are also very good at keeping messages too


I hate Dank.Such a [censored].

Stephen Dank? Don't you mean Stephen [censored]? Amiright?

I betcha Warney is sweating right now. ;-)

I hate Dank.

Such a [censored].

Snake oil salesman.

Clearly Dank no longer wants a career in sports science - why else would he suggest he gave supplements to players at a club that are unfortunately well behind the pace. Doesnt exactly support their efficacy.

I reckon there might be other clubs who have kept silent (or, like us, denied any link to him) that will be sweating an ocean at the moment.

tecnnically you can go to your phone provider and they'll print them for you.

If we are all clear we can put this rubbish behind us and focus on trying to perform where it counts, the field

Dank is just hitting out because he's being made a scapegoat for something that in reality involved a lot of people. He's refusing to let them sit it all on his head, and good on him for that.

The more Dank becomes 'untouchable' the more he can claim in his defamation proceedings. If he ain't gonna work in this town again then he is gonna take everyone out with him and his big bag of cash.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
