The Western Demons are pleased to announce that Colin Garland has been awarded the Gordon Jones Memorial Trophy for the game against West Coast on Thursday 28th April 2011.
On a night when the Dees were soundly beaten in most facets of the game, Colin worked hard in defence all night to contain the Eagles big forwards and relentlessly tried to create attacking rebounds. If others in the team had done their jobs as well as Colin did his that night, the result may well have been different.
The Gordon Jones memorial trophy will be presented to Colin when Melbourne next travel to Perth to play.
