Thoughts on who will replace Garland now he has been placed on the long term injury list?

With Frost back soon to cover Garland I wouldn't mind seeing Tim Smith get a crack or maybe a smoky in Maynard?

    I think its quite obvious Keilty or Tim Smith will be first in line. Keilty as he is a tall backman is ready to go and Smith to add another dimension to our forward line with his manic pressure and goal kicking ability.

    I rate Tim Smith and he really deserves a chance.

    I agree. Tim Smith would be a good choice and logical choice however I feel the decision makers may wait till they see how he goes in games with Casey now that he has six months under his training belt from the Demons.

    There is no hurry to add a player to the Primary List.

    No need to elevate anyone at this stage.  Wait until someone stakes a strong claim for senior selection through performances for Casey.

    I'd say they'll be using to LTI on Garland for 2 purposes - as DOF mentioned there's no need at the moment because no-one is in line to play but also from memory there is salary cap relief for players on the LTI. So could be a long term list management decision and if T Smith/Keilty/White  bang down the door and warrant a spot it's available.

    I never thought of it like that!

    I hold high hope for Keilty but I wouldn't say quite obvious, as the coaches have consistently said that if you're not fit enough you don't play. Drunkn167 is a friend of Decs and he reckons maybe later in the year when he builds his tank a bit more.

    On a side note, what is the word on Pat McKenna? Haven't heard much at all.

    Surely will depend on needs and on form - wait and see.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
