Fixing now
A fit Garland yes. I cant stand the bloke, but he is not a dud.
Was fit in 15/16 and offered little.
I like him, not sure why you can't stand him.
I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Coaching team have essentially stuck by him as a key back for nearly two seasons. After that, next season would be a strange time to send him back to the magoos to learn his craft. Not sure who we'd replace him with either, so unless we trade for another key back, he's as locked in to the starting team as Hogan, Oliver, Petracca, Jones, Viney, etc are.I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Unfortunately I'm still not sold on Oscar. He's been given a lot chances but he hasn't made big improvement. Goody persisted with him every week, but I don't think we got enough out him other than a couple of 'good' games. Perhaps he should be in the twos learning the craft and building confidence, improving his decision making.
I think Oscar showed huge improvement this year TBH and would have played ahead of Garland if he was fit IMO.I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Bit strange how this all played out for him. He played 15 games under Roos and was pretty decent in many of those games. Played what appeared on paper at least to be some decent games in the VFL but unlike a lot of the guys at the club did not even get one shot at AFL level this year. Guess he just wasn't in Goodwins plans.
Bugg?
Think he has next year too.
The article about Filipovic says: "The 200cm beanpole was the only remaining uncontracted Demon, after fellow rookie Corey Maynard and second-year big man Mitch King re-signed this week."
Footywire is a great resource, but it's not uncommon for the odd error to be found there.
Sure he did as well, but wouldn't it be from 2018?
18, 19, 20, 21...
Thanks, been in SA too long I think. Time to go home.
