2015 Player Review - # 20 Colin Garland

[jnrmac 20,189]

Well done Col.

I hope he works hard on his rebounding capability as IMO its this that stops him being the player we need.

Are we going to discuss all things Garland here or start a new thread like we did for Cross last night?

3 years?

Would want to pull his head out.

Was it another case of no interest from other clubs?

With a full he's not in my best 22, others will disagree and that's fine.

Would love to know how much we're paying him.

If the club was considering trading him, I doubt somehow they would then be signing him up for another 3 years due to a lack of interest from other clubs. Surely if that were the case, they would have offered one, or two at most.

Read the article on the MFC website. Col told his Manager to not even bother looking elsewhere, 'cos he was going nowhere, and is determined to help the MFC continue its climb up the ladder. Good on him!

Ugly stuff.

Thanks for your commitment Col! Look forward to the next three years.

18 clubs has stretched the talent pool. Many were surprised when Fitzy was delisted. If Dunn/Tmac/Frost play down back is Col the replacement depth. I didn't have Grimes in my starting 22 for round 1 this year while many others did. I'm guessing another player on a reduced rate.

I will read the articles when I finish work, regardless of what he told his manager it would seem most players from any club have daily updates about their future, speculative or not.

Ugly stuff? So it would seem my attitude is aligned with the one he has displayed at times throughout the year.

When you read about him it's never about his elite disposal/competive attitude/footy smarts, the first thing you read is things like great clubman. That's all well and good but we need more than that.

Jack Grimes all over again.

[Chook 15,022]

Just signed a new 3 year deal.

“I was watching the game and people said ‘wouldn’t you love success?’ and I said ‘it wouldn’t mean anything to me unless it was with Melbourne’.

Legend!

I have to admit I had him pegged in the Frawley basket. I felt that he was the person Roos was always thinking of when he talked about mental scars, and I felt certain he'd want out.

Very glad to be proven wrong. His 2013 was extremely good. Hopefully he can get back to that form sometime in the next three years.

Three year contract re-signing for Col says a lot about him and the club. The interview is indeed music to the ears. I wish Col all the best for season 2016 onwards and hope he can improve down back and provide confident effective release to our mids.
