What Ross Lyon does is make sure you adhere to team rules and structures, from what I hear from the West, Col struggled with this through pre-season, more the defensive requirements of his role and was told until he gets this right he will not be considered. He had a good couple of games leading into getting suspended, then a few weeks back but Peel hasn't played for two weeks.

From all accounts he isn't to far away another really good game at WAFL level should see him get a game.

How can anyone say he hasnt been a failure.

Colin has achieved at Freo so far:

0 Premiership season games

Crappy NAB cup performance/s

Got suspended when the team actually needed him

Not exactly dominating the WAFL

Was deemed to not be fit enough when he arrived and had to play catchup for a while

He may come good, because he is extremely talented.. But at the moment, he has been a total flop

he was signed to play big games in September

This is far from a failure yet for Freo

Lets see how he goes down the home stretch

Mate, it's seriously not looking good for them, he is hardly holding his spot in the 2's, getting suspended, really think they were hoping for a best 22 player.

Really ?

So he is like Bradshaw at the Lions ? Injured, suspended or stink it up for the year and then turn it on in the last weekend in September ?

Ross Lyon - you are truly a genius.

Well I am glad it isn't just VFL / Casey that puts up with this crap - why can't we have a half decent feeder competition? Consecutive byes are a bloody disgrace.

Doesn't the AFL have any influence over these tinpot regimes? They keep on about developing the game - well this sort of garbage is pathetic.

Well, it either says a lot about Melbourne, or a lot about the standard of the VFL. Or both...

Sylvia would be getting 30+ touches a game on an average day in the VFL.

It's not surprise that the WAFL and SANFL are better leagues.

Why are talking about a Fremantle player?

Guys around here really have a tough time letting go.

Sorry I have to laugh, You ask whey we are talking about a Freo (*Peel) player and then you go on and post more about it.

You must be one of the blokes that can't let Col go :)

Ahh just kiddin..

Interesting to see impact Sylvia has at Freo. For mine the biggest advantage Vince has over Sylvia is a footy brain. Love the way Vince manufactures a kick to a team mate when under pressure or finds himself in the right spot at the right time to provide an option for a team mate under pressure.. Can't imagine Col doing the same.

I honestly dont know if that is correct or not.

Shannon Taylor (?) was interviewed on SEN yesterday on the VFL hour ( now plays for Frankston) and he played last year in WAFL after being on the Eagles list and he said that the VFL is a much higher standard.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
