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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
