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 !!

I wish Colin all the best. I still remember him fondly. He helped my close friend's son get through a serious teenage crisis as a mentor through the Reach program. This boy is now a fine upstanding

Roos said he wanted Col to stay, like Clark was our best footballer, Chip is doing everything required etc. etc. You never take what Roos says about these things as being gospel, you watch what happe

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.

Can do worse than a Skoda - built by VW.

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

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
