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.

Been reported and some talk the we are keeping a close eye on him? Swap with Dom Tyson??

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.

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.

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

They also didn’t rate Melksham

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.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
