    It's not a big loss, he really couldn't play midfield and that's what was needed more than anything.

    There's plenty of willing, capable and able forward flankers on the list.

    If he is the only big player loss from the disaster of 2013 then I think i can sleep reasonably well. After 10 years it was a too long unrequited relationship. He still has more to offer. Lyon will extract it no doubt. Shame we will never see a season under Roos from him.

    Does someone want to tell Col that he may only have a few years left and your best was meant to come years ago.

    I think I had a pretty consistent year (in 2013) without any real breakout games but I think playing with a football club like Fremantle, they demand excellence and hopefully they can take me to the next level." Yeah 2013 was the year we finally saw what you can do.

    But u have to take youself to the next level and not rely on Freo to carry you

    Wish him the best with the rest of his career. Always liked Col.

    Agreed... and regardless of what anyone on here thinks of Col, he WILL be playing finals footy next year, nothing is surer.

    Can't say the same I did like Sylvia until round 1 vs Brisbane a couple years back just after jimmy passed and we were copping a flogging from the lions and instead of sitting there watching like the rest of us, and supporting his team mates as he wasn't playing he was too busy tuning up some chick at the bar in the Jim stynes room I left the ground after that, thought well if you don't give a crap why should I, I for one won't miss him

    Yes! Expected everyone else to do it for him but didn't want to put in the effort himself! I casn't even think of 10 games in 10 years where he had a great game. And where did he finish in the B & F over all these years? Not sorry to see him go, however, I have met him and certainly a guy I could have a beer with!

    He will need to be selected first, in a team with a very strong deep midfield.

    They could play him forward... regardless, I think he will be selected.

    Col (not this one) may be in for a rude shock when he gets to Freo. Over there, he won't have people kissing his ass and let him cruise because they all believe 'the best is yet to come' :rolleyes: . He is going to a club with a bit of a spine. While Neeld went overboard with his sprays and carry on, the MFC was a bit soft and probably needed to be whacked with a bigger stick. At Freo, if you don't pull your weight, you get whacked with that big stick. In this case though, if Col gets a bake, his 'mates' won't be there to side with him.

    Yep I agree. Under Ross Lyon he will get a huge reality check

    And quite possibly will start to realise his potential.

    I'm one of those who has been a big fan and defender of his over the years and who is now feeling very silly as it becomes clearer and clearer that he is a total [censored].

  • Quote

    Happy to see Colin gone. Never again will he frustrate me.

    In his time at the demons her would/was very much overpaid.

    Don't really care if hr plays well at Freo. 10+ years at Melbourne and you were just a player.

    People seem to forget his off field efforts. Very silly boy.

    Can't say I wish him the best. The lazy sod screwed us supporters. Not once did I see him run himself into the ground. So often I witnessed him jogging as his opponent ran away from him.

    He doesn't deserve success, I would be quite happy to see Freo have some success, happier if it happens with Sylvia playing in the WAFL

  • Quote

    Col talking himself up for his tilt with Freo.

    Not once did he ever take responsibility at the MFC.

    10 years of wage in 2nd gear.

    Please do not insult me anymore Col.

    I can caption it right now as it was the usual response when people complained about the party boys on here.

    'He's an adult. He can do whatever he likes! Can't he go out and have a bit of fun? What's the world coming to?'etc. etc.

    Col is a good player who will be missed, but we have quickly replaced him with Vince.

    Let's hope Vince is better

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
