    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.

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
