A better landing than Peter Roebuck apparently.

Uncle I believe Roebuck was competing at a different level than Col. He had little time for mere balcony jumpers preferring to work without such safety devices, instead leaping straight out of Windows.

IA different level indeed Earl. There is some suggestion that he had assistants.

I don't care about what Col did or didn't achieve on the football field, reality was he was great to fans and a ripping bloke.

Truth was he had the talent to be  a 250 game player with multiple All Australians, but we will just have to settle for a fun bloke who loved a few jars an a chat with fans. 

I wish him the best with his life after footy.

The fact that he won 2 or 3 'Jim Stynes' awards for his work in the community would suggest that he's a pretty decent character.

I hope Col gets his life together.  Great bloke. Always happy to help with MFC footy clinics and events.

Maybe needs a "steady female influence" in his life.

He has one, his Mum.

Do you think maybe a few refreshing ales had anything to do with it, surely not.
