Very good year for Col.

Finished 3rd in the Demonology Player of the Year, and people know their footy over there.

If anyone thinks he had a bad year or he wont get even better in 2009, then just leave the board immediately as you are embarassing yourselves.

Y_M (or S_P) when does your ban lift on bigfooty?

    Never, they banned me forever.

    Not sure anyone knows that besides you. I think the faithful are waiting for my return, but its impossible.

    Colin is one of those guys who is always "almost there" but not quite.

    He does have the talent to succeed - DOES HE HAVE THE WILL???

    over to you Col - we would all just love to see you meet the high expwctations that have been laid upon you.

    Ferg was a dud and MFC held onto him too long.

    I disagree. And so did the Hawks, who wanted to trade trade for him, but he wouldn't go! Go figure.

    At least he played bravely. When was the last time Sylvia backed into a pack? Watch him, before a pending contest, he always has a look around.

    Anyway, I have been a critic of Sylvia, but I think his last third of the season got progressively better. As such, I would be happy to keep him. At least his trade value would have gone up.

    (Errors like the nonchalant up and under in the backline against the bombers are the sort of things that worry me now.)

    In the same game where he made one poor kicking error, he backed back into a pack to take a gusty mark and then kicked truly.

    If you are gonna highlight his one mistake in that game, how about you highight all the good things he did as well?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
