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

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.

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?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
