Cards....this is Victoria, where bail conditions, restraining orders, etc are pretty meaningless and criminals laugh and walk free.

Not just Victoria. In WA a breach of bail is seen as a minor offence, generally the penalty is a minor monetary fine. Likewise a breach of VRO. There’s suppose to be a three strike policy which results in the offender being incarcerated but it’s rarely enforced.

I suspect a psychological assessment may be reasonable. I don't claim to be a psychologist, or know much about the law, but Sylvia has consistently done some pretty stupid things in the past decade. We have not only heard whispers, but actually have evidence of this bloke being a tool. Perhaps there is a psychological aspect that needs to be looked at. The bloke ain't right. Fair enough he has never grown up, but without knowing him, he does seem a little off.

On ch7 news they said he secretly filmed his ex girlfriend while she slept after sending her abusive texts and climbing onto her balcony. Returned later and hid and filmed her. 

What a creep.

Seems totally reasonable considering the charges and comment from a poster who said they saw him the same day wandering around south bank.

Its just pretty jarring to see that the court thinks he needs to be mentally assessed.

Terribly sad, and one with such terrific potential, once. Let's stop the name-calling and redundant criticism of him to allow those about him, and himself, recover and reset his wheels. He did many very good things for us as supporters, remember? AFL pressure is something that I would think few of us could endure, at best.

On the footy field he was a wasted talent. However, there are many out there who never fulfill their potential and talent. That's sport and that's life.

However, his off-field stuff is a major problem. 

From all accounts, he can be a very pleasant and nice guy. Some years ago when I was bemoaning his wasted footy talent, a friend who knew him off the footy field told me that he was a lovely guy who had great respect for family and friends. 

However, it appears from his actions that there is another side.  

Many of us have a bit of a JekyIl and Hyde character, at least in a mild or moderate way. Behaviours and actions can vary from appropriate to inappropriate or from good to bad. How often do you hear family or friends say "that's  not like you".

The downside can involve risk taking, poor judgement, extreme or inappropriate conduct. And of course, in Mr Hyde's case, much worse. Actions show that there is no recognition or acceptance of societal or personal boundaries.  Today, a psychiatrist would say that Mr Hyde suffered from mood swings. Highs and lows. The condition is not helped with alcohol or illicit substances, but these substances are a symptom of the condition.  Mr Hyde was clearly a psychopath as are all serial killers. Violent people can be very charming, and, at times, gentle people can become violent when they are consumed by psychopathic rage. No one is suggesting that of Colin.

However, many of us suffer from mood swings that can be mild or moderate. Most people can live happily and have family and friends and be able to function normally in society.

Some people never improve and their life takes a downward spiral leading to the breakdown of personal and family relationships, inability to hold down a job, breaking the law, and, in extreme circumstances,  self harm and prison. Our jails are full of people who would not be there if they had sought help, been helped and they had been treated for their mental health conditions (rather than been viewed as bad people who need to be jailed).

Unfortunately, our jails are not mental health institutions and only the extreme cases get treated. It's why so many prisoners never make it back to a normal life. 

The ones who improve do so by way of a personal epiphany (this is the value of organizations such as AA) or by way of treatment and medication.

Col was a great bloke. Never picked up the responsibility of adulthood. 

Highly talented. Wasted. 

He owed the club, supporters better, on the ground as a player. Hope he learns the lesson in life. I hope in time we see him himself back in some involvement in the football circle.

What sort of answer is that? DER

What do you expect him to do when he “Returns”?

i don’t want him anywhere near the club

we are not a retirement refuge  

Colin has had chance after chance and he just keeps f&@$ing up, exactly the same as his football career

the outside world is not a safe place for Col...

I did not say come back to our club, just the thought of him being in a football environment somewhere might do him good. Spare him. You  don't seem like a hard person. I have read your quotes and l quite enjoy some of your writings. Take it as you like, IMO.

Mate the last time Colin was near a Football environment (Fremantle) he couldn’t wait to run away after signing a contract. 

He can’t handle hard work. We should all know that, the MFC carried him for 9 years, made me angry.

(and yes i know he visited lots of kids in hospital, but that wasn’t his reason for employment)

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
