Ironical really given that when we did play him in the magoos after he served a 3 week suspension back in 2009 we were accused of tanking.

He should have played the Little League after his efforts !!

    We would probably be accused of tanking for not selecting Robbie Flower at age 53 or something that year ... :):)

    Col at least looked like a footballer should. The P76 was a design disaster as well as lemon of a car. Perhaps the West's answer to the Trabant? :)

    Think Col would be better off in a Skoda.

    Claret is a vulgar and inaccurate term BB. It's all shiraz for me!!

    meh ....lo !! meh....lo !!!

    Can do worse than a Skoda - built by VW.

    Yes -- if Col is a Skoda, then a Trabant is Eddie the Eagle ... :lol:

    Col is driving down a cul-de-sac

    What time did he leave the casino and why is someone else driving his car?

  • Quote

    I see it more as Col being at a T intersection...theres only really 2 directions to go . To make the 'right' choice will mean he has to pay attention and judge well the traffic he's cutting across and get things 'right'

    or he can make an easy and lethargic 'leftie'

    I know what i'm tipping !!

    Or He can go a head, stop with indecision and total the car injuring others around him

    God this thread cracks me up.

    For years we had a "conga line of s&@kholes" attacking quite viciously anyone that would criticize the plodder that was Sylvia.

    Those that called for him to be traded year after year were ridiculed by many.

    Now every man and his dog line up to take pot shots. So often, you get what you deserve and sadly it is true with Sylvia and the MFC

    A lot of them also defended his after hours antics as 'footballers needing to let off steam'. I wonder if it had anything to do with why he never reached his potential?

    It would be interesting to see if Jack Watts would suffer the same fate as Col if he were to land at a Freo, Sydney, Geelong or Hawthorn.

    Col has been banished to Peel Thunder for "not meeting the physical requirements for AFL football" .... when will he learn

  • Quote

    He'll learn from this and take a good hard look at himself and come back a lot better for it.

  • Quote

    Really just a sad story for all involved. Had so many lifelines and hasn't taken any.

    So much wasted potential.

    Oh well, we have Bernie!

    What an amazing outcome!

    I'm sure the club is ecstatic about how it eventuated, but they'll never admit it.

    agree, this could be the making of him

    Sad really. But his farewell speech at the B & F summed it all up

    Col was never going to be elite. Had the ability but not the mind

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
