Just watched Colin Garland Season Review Video on the MFC Website and was blown away about his last few lines

"Your mates are what drive you through pre-season, your mates are what drive you through, you know, ten or eleven losses in a row and that's what kept us going the whole time I feel. And sort of, if we haven't been broken yet, I don't think where going to get broken....at all"

Yes, a very good type of bloke to have at our club. Quality comes through when times are tough. Reinforces why we should stick fat with the joint.

why the hell is the website doing season reviews? Forget 2013 and wipe it from the memory. So many players were pathetic, and i bet they get talked up in their little review

Because you'll never learn if you don't look to the past. Most players can learn a thing or two by having a look at how they went in 2013.

For me, Col was the standout player for the season. We expect excellence from Nat Jones but Col lifted his game in the face of huge adversity. He has improved every aspect of his game and its a credit to his character.

perhaps you need to get some mates.

I have quite a few, trouble is with a couple of exceptions they barrack for Hawthorn, Richmond, Essendon, Brisbane and Collingwood.

Don't help much when you have lost ten in a row by an average margin of ten goals.

The worst part is they don't even laugh any more

They just change the subject when I appear and talk about cricket, motor racing, horses anything but football.

I am well over it I need their hate!

Seeing that you have called many of our players pathetic I reckon that means I am within my rights to calling many of your posts moronic. Why don't you take your "Special" comments and start your own thread about the team and its weakness and leave my thread for the posters who want to discuss Col Garland's words of Resolve.

The thread is about Col Garlands words of character and strength.To show that when faced with the pains of constant criticism and loss that a player like Col is able to say I will not break, we will not break and we will keep fighting. If you want to debate that then go ahead don't make broad moronic statements about the teams ability and whether the MFC should be publishing players review from 2013.

And call me biased but as a long time half back, back pocket type later in my second rate suburban football career, after being an old style centre man, when you are getting pumped week after week, there is no worse place to be than in the back line. It is just relentless pressure and every failure is pillioried by the crowd. But gee I am talking about an era when it was largely pick it up and kick it stuff, running in numbers, hand balling had just started. I would hate to be a half back these days in a poor side. You can't win, you are a sitting duck as the midfielders stream down the ground and all the forwards just take off in all directions. No place for the faint hearted. I have a lot of time for Col and Chip for what they have had to endure these past 5 years.

Your capacity to make one nonsense post after another is astounding.

You think we'll get 40,000+ members without doing any marketing or social media work? Seriously dude, get a clue.

I've said it before - I think he's a Monty to be a co-captain under Roos.

Do you think we will have co captains again?

The first thing that Co captains raises in my mind is " someone could not make a decision on which player to pick"!

My gut feel tells me one captain next year and it is not either of the 2013 models.

Does that make it CG?

It might mean a lot or very little, BB. Rawlings is contracted for an extra year.

    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

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
