Melbourne rates Garland highly, valuing his flexibility in defence as he can nullify opposition forwards, whether they are tall or small. He has developed into a fine defender after two successive seasons relatively injury-free. He still missed four games with an ankle injury, but was good enough to finish sixth in the best and fairest. Garland has height, is a good mark and has poise when he wins the ball. A quiet character, he is developing off the field (he won the club’s ambassador award) while on the ground he has become a co-ordinator down back.
 
Player honours: NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2008.
 
Draft history: 2006 NAB AFL Draft 3rd round selection
(Melbourne) No. 46 overall.
