Lucky he still had time for a selfie!

All the best Colin, get better soon.

Gotta love the patients who won't keep their necks straight despite being warned of irrereversible spinal cord disease.

selfys first

Herald Sun headline is Ex AFL Star - I get they need to pump up the news - but Col? A star? meh...

Col could have been a real star but simply lacked consistency. Played some brilliant games. Get well soon Col.

These days you have a serious accident and whats your first thought. Share it on social media. 

I bet he checked in to the Alfred on his Facebook as well.

Bleeding on the brain, Coln should be fine.

Could have been, would liked to have been,  but maybe didn't want to enough.

Good luck. Lucky escape you the sound of it.

Col is a lovable larrikin. Hope he makes a quick recovery - not a good start to his preseason.

But just wait until he manages a full preseason. This is a novel way to miss out on it. 

A salutary lesson in Newtonian physics for Col.

His poor mother must be beside herself.

Are you suggesting the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?

Did the poor lady go over the balcony as well?

I love the hashtag of wakeupcall. Like getting cut from the Dockers the way that he did wasn't a wake up call.

That being said I hope he recovers and realizes that he is 31 now and not 21.

Fractured vertebrae, but still twists his neck to get a better selfie angle.

 

Lucky he landed on his head. Could have done some serious damage if he landed on another part of his body.

Every player who makes seniors is classed as a star nowadays.

She's so upset she's having an "out-of-body" experience?

  • 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.
