    He has some toe but isn't he a crumber?

    Has only managed a full season once in his 8 seasons with 22 games played in 2017 and hasn’t played more than 12 in the other 7. I’m not sure he would offer more than what we already have. 

    I’d rather put some more development into Hunt and Stretch as ‘Line Breakers’ as they have age on their side.

    Agree but doesn't hurt as depth in that department and Hunt and Stretch have been injured a bit

    No player was more disrupted by the drugs stuff, he was on the verge of breaking out, hurt his foot then had to miss the whole year.

    He'd want to be cheap and maybe only a 1 year deal but I'd certainly take him.

    Colyer is one I wanted us to recruit around the $cully years.  A good run & carry player through the corridor.

    I can't remember exactly which draft, if it was $cully draft or next. 

    # edit:  I just went back to check that draft... and I also wanted us to grab Daniel Talia big-time,,, in this draft... then I noticed who we took 2 places earlier than Talia...  arghh.... we took Gysberts.

    I would prefer Colyer to $ulky, every day of any week.

    I think those biases are shining through. 

    Scully is 10 times the player Colyer is.

    Yes he would, and when young Farmer comes available to us,,, he will need some development time at Casey.

    Colyer fits our timeline.

    Look at the players we've delisted, they are the ones we are replacing.

    ... ready made 'run and carry', are top of my list at least.

    Meh.

    Is he any better than Kent?  AVB?  JKH?  Probably not.  If the FD see something in him and can get him super cheap then I guess you can't have too many complaints, but the bloke doesn't do a whole lot for me.

    my bombers mate says 'take him...take him NOW'

    she thinks he's one of the biggest butchers in their side, and that's when he gets it more than 15 times a game, which is basically never

    suffice to say, not all peptiders rate him

    I would not let $cully back into this club.  We don't need him.  &   I for one, don't want him.

    There's plenty more smelly fish around.

    They also didn’t rate Melksham

    He would be a depth player much like he is at Essendon.

    Fumble king....it's a no from me.

    Can get the fumbles, and can butcher it a bit.

    But has real pace and knows where the goals are.

    Would give you more than the likes of Stretch and Kent.

    Probably needs a change of club to get the best out of him, a la Melksham

    Check the time of the game and the match score when Colyer kicks his goal.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
