Yeah, apparently really good mark under pressure..... oopps

Who doesn't have them? A bit harsh. Your first comment about him being a superb kick of the ball was right.

Yeah, but he might get banned and what do we have to give up for him?

What a goose you are Leoncelli 36. You couldnt be more wrong. Howe kicked a goal from the boundary at the 32min mark ofthe 3rd qtr against Geelong when we were only 5pts up. Kicked another at the 4min mark of the final qtr. Howe do you like you humble pie served?

Suggest you watch the geelong game again.

Please don't rewrite history. I can't be bothered going through the EFC/WADA thread for you but WADA were not happy. They accepted it because if mitigating circumstances. EFC won't have that luxury.

He hates Melbourne and has never been back to the club. When did you make up your information?

The media are in love with NicNat. Great highlights reel but thats about it for mine.

And who would have rucked for us in 2012?

And second in the AFL coaches award I think...what a disgrace The AA selectors are, and always have been pathetic. Remember when Yze couldn't get in despite winning/top placing in multiple media awards? The nuffies said " oh, you have to do it over a number of years.." honestly they are all a joke, the Rising Star, the Brownlow the AA side etc.

You're super disappointed if we lose anyone. I can't recall seeing you ever say it was a good thing to see xyz go.... If we kept everyone we would be a mediocre side for many more years to come. When we lose players, assistant coaches etc it allows us to improve the side. That's what its all about.

Please. He played the first part of the season back and was hopeless. He was gone early in the season and Roos knew that as well. The club played him fwd so we could get used to our backline without him. Aside from his AA year hasn't done much and has been exposed as a limited footballer. He is very good in some circumstances but we won that deal.

The sister's surname was Yarran. Assuming she's not married I wonder if she was a relative......

Seriously? Cmon we all hope that but your statement is pure hyperbole.

PLayed like he was out the door. Those fuclers at GWS threw a hand grenade last year with the late offer and its messed with his head. Word is his manger has been surprised by the lack of interest in paying him big bucks. May stay at the Dees by default altho I think Roos would be keen to shift as he has some currency. Would be a good trade bait in the deal for a stellar mid

Not a fan of Chip but his comments were nothing. Didn't have a go at the Dees. Just said that's why he went to Hawthorn. Fair enough really.

Was spotted when the recruiters were watching Salem at Brighton Grammer. I think it was Robert Shaw that said you should look at this kid. Has pace to burn and good attitude. Injuries have been a problem.

everything we could have hoped for as a cheap pick up.... hmmmm I think I've said that before....

You have never seen him play a game. What makes you so certain? As certain as Scully/Trengove or McLean/Sylvia?

Correct

No. If you bothered to read the post you wouldn't have said that. So if you are going to comment without reading posts bets you don't.

Might I respectfully suggest you watch it again. He actually runs to the pack as if he was going to jump and spoil. He runs into the back of Lumumba and then lamely drifts off the back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6qS17Hzgeo Have a look at the 30sec mark in this video. It tells you everything you need to know about Garland. (if someone can do the GIF thing it would be easier to see!). After watching him closely over the past three years this is the moment he lost me for good. 7mins into the game against St Kilda Rd 17. Garland leaves Reiwoldt alone in the fwd 50 to run to a pack on the members wing. Garland makes a lame effort to spoil in a pack and stops half way through and falls off the back. The ball is gathered by the Saints who kick it to Reiwoldt in the fwd 50. NJones makes a valiant attempt to chase down Reiwoldt but just misses. After we scored the first goal Garlands error cost us a goal and St Kilda took the momentum. Incredibly frustrating from a senior player and it was totally avoidable. Yes this is an isolated incident but in this game he was abysmal and shows why he should go. He has made many similar mistakes in 2015. Its 7mins into the game and set a poor tone for the rest of the match. He is a 'leader' but other players now second guess their roles, where to run, who to cover etc. Dumb move to leave Reiwoldt. Dumb move to run to the wing when there were already 4(!!!!!) other MFC players there. Fails to impact the contest - in fact pulls out of the contest and lamely waits at the back of the pack. So poor defensive skill, poor reading of the play, poor decision to run to pack of MFC players, no sense as to when to leave his man, once he decided to leave his man had no impact on the contest. In short he gives us very little offensively, I think very little defensively but he detracts a lot and is one of the players that is reponsible for the breakdown in structure that Roos talks about.

Just like Adelaide did....... And the Swans....
