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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
