I think in a good to great side he'll be a very damaging player, as the focus obviously won't be on him. He's a keeper, IMO but lacks the damaging qualities of an A grader. Just my opinion, I suppose. :)

I still hold hope for him, though I think he might be destined to starting on the HFF and being rotated through the midfield. In a way it's probley a good thing as we might have a few very good mids coming in next year.

Oh, just in case I didn't make it clear, I was referring to Brock, not Colin. The latter is currently one of my favourites.

Brock can be a star. One good pre-season and he is set. As for Colin i'm not so sure.

Colin just needs to develop consistency across the whole year. If he does, I've no doubt he'll be an A grader.

Agree AdamFarr. His best footy is very very good. It took a long time, but as u say, if he can develop his consistency, it'll have been worth the wait.

I was probably his biggest detractor up until this year. I really thought we had picked a lazy dud but I have been amazingly surprised this year. For the first time ever I have not only thought that the ball was in safe hands with him but now I am starting to expect something great when he does have it. During the Freo game he had it 60 odd out and was looking to pass it off I found myself shouting "go back and give it a roost, Col." And he did. And it went through. Last year I would have hoped he gave it to someone else. I am so happy to look like a goose on that one.

If he can play the same next year then we have a very good player. If he plays better we have a champion in the making.

If you read this Col I won't apologise for my calls of the past but you will have a fan for life if you can give us a consistant effort as you have this year.

And if you can give me 3-4 boomers next year, and 10 games of 20+ touches I will give you the public apology that by then you will then deserve.

Well put, thats exactly the same way i feel when the ball is in his hands. i couldn't say that about any other melbourne player, although grimes is rising fast!

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    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.
