from what i've seen, when his body develops he'll turn into an agile, tall defender who reads the play well and can be accountable. he seems clever with a good footy brain and is 192cm so is a good height.

at the moment he is as raw a youngster as we'v had at the club.

    Raw yes - frawley was pretty raw when at Garland's number of games.

    hold out good hopes for him being a medium/tall defender. maybe he will grow a few cms. Stronger than Ferguson will ever be.

    Garland is no good.

    So definite after only a couple of senior games.......

    I like to think that it is just way too soon to tell with any kind of absolution, but we remain hopeful and only time will really tell.

    My club palyed against him a few times as a junior. Always thought he was no good.

    He was over rated as a junior and I always thought, no way can he make it.

    What club did/do you play for?

    Didn't play against him, he is older than me. The club was Carrick in Tassie. They played against which ever team he was in a few inter-league practice matches.

    I didn't know Carrick even had a footy club. Learn something new every day. Anyway, are you sure you've got the right guy? Garland has only been playing footy for a a season or two after a layoff.

    Sorry to hijack the thread guys, carry on.

    Im like 80% certain.

    I was only in Tassie for 2 years. Looks like this guy and name rings a BIG bell. So ive kinda assumed. If im wrong im sorry.

    garland has only just come back to football in the last season or two. he is an athlete that we are training to be a footy player, but he already seems to have natural smarts. to me he needs size or pace before he can make a bigger impact. he is a project player...

    "Project Player"

    The two words that strike fear into any Dees supporter!!

    yes and no. imo CAC has been a good recruiter over the years. many disagree with me. but their griviences are the failure of high draft pick KPP's, who failed to play a game, or made minimal impact. CAC has a very god record with the smokey project players, the late draft picks, and the rookies. he seems to have done well with three underage players, bate, dunn, and newton, in the single draft. its these sort of picks that melbourne seem to have come through on isnt it?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
