Yeah lots of nasty goss floating around about Col

http://www.bomberblitz.com/forum/index.php...47414&st=15

MOst likely BS but would prefer him to play like cousins on the field.

That does'nt really surprise me! Maybe we can trade him to Hawthorn so he can party with the boys down there!

One of them said he could play two games in a row he felt that good. Nobody can keep up with him! So he reckons. We will all know whats happens if he drops ..... on the field!

It does'nt seem to work for Sylvia.

There is no doubt Colin has been a disappointment in the past . I have been prepared to excuse him on the basis that he has had major injury and fitness worries. He has not been strong in 'the core' which would have made it very difficult to play four quarters of footy. Up until this year, he has never had a proper pre-season. Perhaps our mistake was in recruiting a kid who had OP at 17...but that's not his fault

The saving grace on the latest issue is that he wasn'y drinking - so I'm going to get off his back one more time and judge on the field after his first full pre-season .

He has ability - and I recall Daniher saying that he is very competitive.

Let's just see how plays in the next month

Hoopla -Colin has no tank, he has no football smarts and lacks heart. He would be an excellent VFL/SANFL player but he doesn't have the goods to deliver at AFL level. Colin should be aloud to go out late at night as he'd end up falling asleep at a reasonable hour anyway no matter where he was out at. Judd and Luke Ball can play at a level with OP type issues, Colin will always have whatever lingers with his OP so get over it.

Classic misunderstanding of the debilitating condition that is OP. Nice.

It is nice, face the facts with Colin you get his lingering OP, if he had any football smarts and real steel mentally maybe he could play. Why continue to back him when he's not going to overcome this. There are too many if only's with him -maybe he should go see the Wizard of Oz for a brain, a heart and some courage.

Keep on talking. Eventually you might say something worthwhile.

interesting that he has not been named in the squad at all for sunday. I wonder where he will be at in 7 days time. Wonna to come back in, watts maybe soon, maric, jetta looking good, petterd looking good, robbo getting closer? Whilst it isn't the best forward line on paper we are starting to have some real competition for place which can only be a good thing. I just wonder where CS fits into the bigger and long term picture?

Bailey said that if Sylvia trained hard enough he'd play, so if Bails is true to his word Sylvia is either injured or he didn't train hard enough. If it's the latter then his future must be in serious doubt, if he can't get himself together after his type of incentive from his coach then I doubt he ever will.

It's a shame because I believed he'd be able to finally prove himself

I think your right on the money Jarka, the only thing that crossed my mind was that he was being taught a lesson this week regardless. So if in 7 days he is in the same position his future has to be questioned and it may be a long road back for him.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
