When did he tweet this? Maybe earlier in year and he was referring to the next few years with Melbourne?

I think it would be a HUGE loss if Colin went. In fact, if we lose Scully and Sylvia, this year will be a disaster.

yeah it's one in the same.

This was done mid last year when a few guys set up a fake account for Col on Twitter. He then made his own account. This is whats in the profile (not an actual Tweet) that was done mid last year when set up. So he is talking about his future on Twitter.

Would take a fair bit for Col to leave as he loves Melbourne and is best mates with Brent Moloney.

I wonder if it's a case of keeping either Sylv or Scully. We've reportedly offered Scully $700k/year. So if Scully leaves, that space in the cap is available to make a sizeable offer to Syvia.


You would have to think that the looming advent of Free Agency and its particualr indluence on players of such service as Colin that the club is probably looking to 2 year contracts as a norm.

Everyone I suppose is deserving of a fair shake of the tree and possibly Colin , more than another certain player , could legitimately throw attention to the upcoming CBA.

I can only think the club is smartening up and conrtucting payments a lot more around performance than in the past.

To be honest.. Col's a bit of an enigma. Hes hot hes cold. During many of the games this year when we needed some senior presence Sylvia was amongst the missing.

He put s in some great games, but far too few. He puts in far more Good qtrs than he does entire games..

Hes replacable. He might be just fishing for another good contract at the Dees..or be genuine in starting afresh.

Wouldnt worry me if he went....Just make sure we get someting decent in return, thats all.

Col reminds me a lot of Travis Johnstone. extremely gifted athlete who we constantly look forward to seeing become an elite player. Travis teased us with some fabulous talent -- albeit far too seldom.

Col's development has no doubt been heavily interrupted through injury. But, this year he has been more consistent and I'm hoping we are about to see the full blossoming of what is a rare talent. He's a tough, uncompromising mid-fielder who can take a mark, and knows where the goals are. They don't grow on trees!

A couple of his runs through the middle last week, delivery the ball into the forward 50, had my salivating.

So, yes, I really want him to sign another contract with the Dees. I would hate his best years to be played at another club!

I dont think so. We should be able to accomodate both. Although Sylvia would be on far less coin than Scully.

I don't want Colin to hold us to ransom...

He will take what we can afford or he can leave...

His kicking isn't that great either...

He's not worth that figure now and we don't now if he ever will...

He wasn't smiling at the membership drive in the 6 minutes I saw him there - this means he doesn't love the club...

He has to decide now whether he is with us, or with the terrorists...

God, we are now stooping to picking up players for grammatical errors on Twitter??? :o Ever consider the possibility it may have been the predictive text on his phone kicking in?


For all intensive purposes its the same.

For all "intents and purposes" perhaps. Speaking of grammatical errors!

Now that you mention it, I recall seeing a photo of Colin and Tom together the other day (was it on Twitter?), and guess what... they were both smiling. Hmmmmmmmm...

lol..ive sent some pretty strange messages over the years on the phone thanks to bloody predicitve text..l :lol:

Whoosh!

It was a joke.

Was this post tongue in cheek??? Still have trouble telling the difference.

In my humble opinion, Col is one of the better (top 5) kicks at the club.

Smiling at the membership drive WTF? this surely has to be a joke, maybe you shouldn't have asked him to sign your chest.

im guessing it was drolly tongue in cheek.!!

Do players have any loyalty? Col is great and he's a key to our future, but he's been with us for a long time and been very up and down. He's finally got his head screwed on and his playing some consistant good footy. Yet just as he starts showing something he could leave because our offer isn't good enough, you cant play 1 full season of decent footy and expect a contract to set you up for life.

So here were are being blackmailed again like with Cameron Bruce...

It was TOC.

All those things have been said about Tom Scully.

That was the balance of my point.

In what way is holding out to see what is on offer, "blackmail"? Perhaps the club should be considering delisting Davey and Green, because that's exactly what they did.


Now you're getting the chicken before the cart? :unsure:

That leads to tender chicken...

I reckon Col would be favourite for our B&F this year. He has finally put a full season together after much injury and is 25 and is about to hit his straps. Logic says we should be doing everything we can to keep him. He is tough, quick, can jump, can take a mark & kick goals from outside 50.

I am wary though of the "Travis Johnstone" example of playing blinding years in the final year of their contract and then becoming complacent until the next contract comes around. At the moment though I reckon Col's been building consistency over the last 3 years and has really improved and matured. I think he'll only get better from here and would be trying to secure him. It would be interesting to see what he was worth on the trade table though but at this stage I think we need to keep the harder-bodied midfielders to protect the kids as they develop.

Therees a pattern.. Bruce did this..Green did this.. Davey did this.. all suffered post contract hangovers !!

Yeah good point. Sad really.

What next ... "oh there all just a bunch of stupid footballers" (which I personally dont agree with) ... the path is becoming very clear.

Isn't there an emoticons rule or something in operation, either I am as smart as a plank, or some of the dross that gets posted makes its difficult to differentiate between TIC and serious opinion.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
