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.

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?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
