What's the Col?

Colin Garland

Surprised no one has mentioned this. Dropped from the leadership group and is a free agent at the end of the year. By all reports miles from the pack in terms of fitness.

Alarm bells ringing? Will he be going? Thoughts ? Is it a loss if he goes?

Had not heard that he was unfit. Thought he was wanting to concentrate on his footy, which could be club code for "we have some better options". He may want to go but I hope we and he have a season that makes him want to stay.

Or he just might want to concentrate on his own game just like Roos mentioned... :wacko:

 

A slightly better man's Alex Georgio! Not in my best 2015 team, says plenty! Would want to have a MONSTER year to justify staying on list IMO

Must be reading different reports 'ash'....


He wouldn't strike me as the leave for more money type.

 

I tend to think that Col just had a terrible 2014 and wants to get his game back together without the distractions this year. If he can have an injury-free year and recapture the form he showed in 2013 then he'll be a regular in the side and that's a lot more important than a spot in the leadership group.

I go all the way to Maroochydore to file a training report only to be met with this throw away!

Garland is ready to play a big part in our resurgence. He is going to balance out a backline that includes Dunn, McDonald, Jetta, Grimes, and Lumumba beautifully. He was tearing it apart up north, and I'm so glad we have him fit and firing... you'll have to wait until the real stuff starts to retract your misfire!

I really hope you're right.

No doubt he can play the game, his 2013 season was one of the few bright things amongst a terrible season.

He never appeared fully fit last year and his performances were average - hopefully just a by-product of that.

Idiot. You're basing that from a poor 2014 where he was rushed back in to our very average team.

He's been a good young player dealing with injuries, to a solid role player, to a sensational player in 2013.

Even with a disastrous year in 2015 he'd be on the list. Versatile 3rd tall defenders with decent skills and pace don't grow on trees.

Couldn't agree more. Some people have very short memories. If he can replicate 2013 the team will be very much better for it.

Garand chose to leave the leadership group. Was reported in club website. ... "Defender Colin Garland, who opted out of the running for this year’s leadership group, and James Frawley, now at Hawthorn, are the only other changes from last year."

Suspect he wants to focus on his footy. Will be a serious player this year

I was also wondering about Col. I kept sifting through the training reports and he rarely gets mentioned. I'm a big fan and hope he can return to his 2013 form.

Judy will be fine, move along, nothing to see here.


Is the thread title missing some words?

deal with it.

Christ, you could set your watch by how often you get it completely wrong.

Looking forward to seeing Frawley play for the cats this season?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
