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...

    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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
