LOL.

I think players have caught up with the fact nuffie fans like you and I - and every Jay Clark, Jon Ralph wannabe - jump at this sort of stuff. It's all one big joke and everyone's in on the act. See Dangerfield on IG.

Yeah right. As if every media buffoon is trawling social media trying to get the scoop on Garland's decision. Dangerfield's decision has been a news event for over 18 months. Nobody gives a rats about Garland.

People like you are talking about it here, so looks like some might be interested.

I'm responding to the assertion that it's a hoax to get the media speculating.

I get a little bit embarrassed when people start wetting themselves over SM banter. Then I remember that Ralph et al have build well remunerated careers around that very thing.

Who was 'wetting themselves' exactly?

It was just generating a bit of discussion

I don't see how mentioning Tommy's comment could be anything other than harmless

Exactly. I doubt that many will be traumatised with whatever happens with Garland.

Despite all his occasional clangers, he's never been dropped - and rarely if ever starts on the bench. He is one of that rare breed who can play tall or small depending on the forward mix of the opposition. He is therefore a valuable member of our list.

Must say I'm surprised we haven't re- signed him. May be he and his manager been hiking in the Himalayas since Mad Monday .

Hardly wetting myself; it's a fairly potent comment from the players themselves (whether a slip of the tongue or pure banter remains to be seen). Either way, it's certainly more newsworthy than the usual "unnamed source" or "closely connected" comment from some random Facebook poster that purports to know the inner workings of our recruitment department.

I don't really mind one way or the other with Garland; I'd prefer he stayed but a compensation pick between 19 and 26 could equally be used to our advantage, especially if we end up trading pick 24 for Melksham.

...and that's even more embarrassing 'Nasher'.

7 news reported Garland tipped to re-sign.

If true and we keep Watts.....wow, just wow.

If true would mean he will be a 1 club player, which just brings a smile to my face. ? Well done MFC?

Someone is going to have to take intercept marks this year off half back, Cross and Howe gone means we're a bit light in that area.

Personally I think he's OK, you know what you're going to get from him. He might only have one more year left. No other club will probably take him so give him a one year deal.

If White and Oscar Mc surpass him it's win win. Even if he ends up at Casey it's good to have blokes like that in the team for development etc.

I'd expect it will be a 3 year deal, but for less money.

I've said previously I think they should move him forward next year, but alternate he & Dunn depending on match ups.

If we can land Charlie Curnow in the draft at Pick 6 then I think beyond 2016 Col will become just depth for his final few years, which is fine.

I like Col, so although I voted for him to go, I'm happy for him to stay.

I hope it's a 6 year, $6 million dollar deal!

We love you Col!

You obviously hate the club then because that deal would be the worst the club could ever do.

Your ability to detect a little sarcasm is without parallel jnrmac.

With Lake retiring at Hawthorn, doesn't anyone think that they'll make a play for Garland?

Wouldn't be the first time I've heard someone float it, but never took it too seriously.

Maybe.

Hawthorn can spot talent otherwise he would've already had his medical there.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
