Was double figures for intercept possessions yesterday (12, I think). Reading the play perfectly right now.

Given both teams penchant for kicking to opposition players standing by themselves, this was not too hard.

Having said that, I agree with basically all the above positive comments and add that he obviously has a highly developed sense of humour. All footy clubs need characters and those who are doing badly need them more than others. I was very pleased when he was put in the leadership group.

    Demonland is hilarious! Search back to the threads after the West Coast game and read the same people praising him now, bag the proverbial out of him!

    Good player though, always boxed above his weight IMO

    Yes lets rate our players on their form in just recent games.

    Myopic thread of the year this one.

    He's been awesome since about round 3. He sucked before then. I made mention of it ad nauseum last year and early this year, but his attitude as done a 180 and so has his form.

    Col has taken a quantum leap forward in the last couple of months, and is setting the benchmark that we all hope others aspire to and achieve.

    Garland has always been a very good player.

    He had an OK to average season last year, and has struggled with that foot fracture, an injury that cannot be underestimated (see Trengove, see Grimes, see Clark, see pretty much most of our best players for some horrific reason).

    The hate directed at him at the start of the year was and always will be mind boggling.

    As usual, those with short term memories, were wrong.

    He's taken it up a notch, as any player of his quality should.

    Massive kudos to him for just having had enough of the sh!t special served by the club on a weekly basis. At least he, along with Jones, are trying to turn things around, instead of having a sook.

    At the game on Saturday night watching Colin Garland and I thought: "He's gonna win the 'Bluey' this year."

    I have always liked CG and thought he had great potential. This year when we have needed him to, he has stepped up. He has shown true leadership, and his game skills have improved a lot. Hopefully he will stick with us and will only get better. A couple more Garlands, a couple more Nate Jones' and things would be looking much better for us.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
