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.

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.

Well that's what people said about Heath Shaw, look at him now...

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?

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
