On a serious note, if Freo wanted him off their books I'd entertain the thought of trading him back if it cost us nothing. i.e - a good will trade of pick 86 for Sylvia.

Wow. We get rid of a poor attitude player with no application and a pathetic 10y record of 'achievement' at our club and you want him back?

Pls go and find the nearest brick wall and head but it.

    Had an email exchange with a WA mate and Freo supporter today who wrote - and I kid youse not - "I haven't written off Col yet, he will be fitter next year." I replied that I'd heard that a couple of times before.

    I wouldnt write him off yet. He would be under no illusion of what he needs to do to play finals in AFL.

    I hope Col is not wasting his pay packet like he is wasting his talent.......personally I don't really care if he is.....but he if he is, he might spend the rest of his life.......like the rest of us....wondering 'What if'.

    Anyhooo, isn't there some obscure club in the AFL/VFL for 'Wasted Talent' like his.........like the 'kick a goal with the first kick in football club'?.......Col might get a badge and even voting rights when he is inducted given his recent (thankfully NOT with MFC) efforts.

    Not Bitter just Twisted.

    GO Dees

    Him and Brock are effectively finished at the age of 28. Brock had to be talked out of retirement this year, and is only really depth at Carlton.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
