Colin had an injury riddled pre-season.  He came back from his break with a slight calf strain, and then took some time to overcome that.  I feel that this had an effect on the early part of Col’s season, which wasn’t great.  However, I felt that, after the mid-season break, we played Colin in the midfield a lot more, and his consistency of performance was far better than in the first half of the year.  Col’s challenge going forward is to firstly get a really good pre-season under his belt to get his body up to elite AFL standards, to continue to play in the midfield, and to have a presence for the Melbourne Football Club.- Brian Royal (midfield coach) melbournefc.com.au

Significant that this bloke enters the final year of his current contract and the end of a decade at the club.

I hope for his sake that he accepts that he is running out of opportunities and that he might look back one day on his entire career and realise that in many ways it's been a failure. I know he had injuries this year but he has to do more than show glimpses of talent and nothing else. He can either adopt the approach Nathan Jones has taken in recent times and knuckle down and work his butt off to become elite or follow Beamer out the door at the end of the year.

Unlike his mate Moloney, seemed to respond reasonably well to challenges laid down by Neeld in the second half of the season.

That said, still goes missing far too often in big games to be considered a prize player. Should be a walk up top 50 AFL player entering his ninth season. Instead, you'd struggle to make a case for him being in the top 200.

At last, a sensible post from you. Beautifully summed up.

It is sad that it's taken Col 138 games to turn from an 18yo with unlimited potential into a rising 27yo with limited potential.

Yep. With ya bruvver.

Cue - 'oh but he has been injured', 'Just wait til Col gets a full pre-season' 'he's the most talented player on our list'

I agree too Jnr

Talent is only talent when it is put on show every game.

Slow start to the season but really fired up around the middle of season and went back to his best.

Hasn't thrown together a consistent season yet but he is highly talented and it shouldn't be long before he does.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
