Whispering Jack’s THE KID - A TRIBUTE TO COLIN

[58er 6,000]

Very Sad Col another of our family to pass too young 3 years ago but Hope He enjoyed our 13 th premiership which has majorly lifted all our families spirits by the level of excellence 2021 maintained from Day  1. 

At This stage it's unknown what effect this Premiership will have on our future but the signs are positive for a great period of stabilisation success and growth if all is handled correctly.

Our families were very much thought of as we triumphed last month and are Never forgotten.

This was my tribute to Col and others when I flew the flag for the GF.  Loved watching Col play, particularly when he first arrived at the club, he was a beacon of hope that had star power written all over him.  Had we had the other capable players and maturity of leadership around him, I very much think that Colin had the talent to have been a part of a Demons premiership side.  See alot of how he played in Tommy Sparrow, hard, tough and an accurate, booming shot on goal.

Was somewhat disappointed when he left for Freo, but also understand it based on what I understand of where he and the team were at around that point of time.  Really happy how his family and the MFC were bought back together around our premiership and I hope his family felt some happiness being a part of it.

Demon for life.  RIP Colin.

Sylvia played 2 or 3 games that were up there with the best of what Petracca and Oliver are capable of.

A game against Hawthorn in 2009 comes to mind.

The word tragic is far overused but so totally appropriate here.

And just imagine what he could have been under the current coaching and development regime of support and self belief.  Tracc, Clarrie, Frittata - any of these and more.

Tragic. Heartbreaking.   Col had the talent of Trac and Clarry. If only he had the others around him and the mental support and development like MFC has today.  I remember his 5-goal - 30+ possessions game PLUS he was always generous with his time and his humour on social mfc events such as family day at Luna park. Rip Col.
