    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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
