Colin Garland's game today was solid. A lot of mistakes were made today by our defenders, but he did a couple of great things today. A few of his marks and attacks on the ball I believe started our resurgence in the last today.

He's an attacking, solid defender when playing on the third tall or small. Definitely has to be part of our core defensive set up going forward. Well done, Colin.

He did a lot of rubbish things at the start and a lot of good things at the end.

That's a confidence thing for mine. He stood up when the game was there to be won. We needed rebound from defence and he gave it.

BOG for mine with Jones.

I thought Gawn was fantastic too. Provided a target up forward, took some strong contested marks and particularly in the first quarter, showed he was a solid tap ruckman. Mistimed his leaps a lot across the second and third terms, but was far more impactful than Jamar.

Does the fantastic final quarter erase the slops he started with.

The guy was drafted as a forward and can mark. It's time he starts intercept marking, sprinting with the ball and using his long kick.

You don't kick 12 goals in a quarter without half back dominance and garland showed it.

Good to see he has pride and hope he takes the confidence going forward.

Garland is another who has been effected by the Melbourne culture. He's plateaud, at a level previously thought acceptable as a 3rd stringer, but now he must become a leader in the back half, So he has to lift another level.

no cutting slack, he needs to hoist himself Up from where he's been.

Its like something clicked and he decided, stuff this ive got to stand up.

Lets hope it was that sort of realization for the whole team, and that last quarter can be an impetus for the rest of the season.

Yeah - not an overall consistent game but did what was needed when it was most needed

Maxy - what a legend. Up forward he always provided a contest and several times brought to ball down to a crumber who knew that Max could bring it down for him. Mutual confidence. GO MAX.

Always been a Garlo fan, been better than his mate frawley this year

Chip shows about as much interest as JW, at the moment.

Along with N Jones and Sylvia, stood up in the fourth.

His previous three quarters were pretty average, though. Fumbled and looked a bit lost at times.

I agree. Like Sylvia, he seemed to do very little prior to 3/4 time but did well in that last quarter. Was Sylvia playing in the midfield prior to that? It was only at the beginning of the 4th that I noticed him at the centre bounce and boy, did he have some impact after that.

I thought we had some pretty consistent putter-innerers throughout the game including both of the Jones boys. Matt Jones has been a great find.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
