Traded #32: Travis Colyer - traded to Freo for future 4th rounder

[Mr_McBoogerBalls]

I thought he was woeful. Can't kick, can't read the play, can't pick the ball up.

Kicking and ball handling were fine tonight - wasn't great but far from our worst.

Put him on the trade table and see what we can get for him.

Fair dinkum, god help Gaff if we get him, it'll be like a Mule with a spinning wheel. Our approach to Trav is essentially kick it somewhere in his general vacinity and just be like 'the dude runs a good time trial, he'll be fine'.

More than capable of playing a role, as he did tonight.

 

[SherbertLemon]

Pls delist

Yep. And if no one bites it's a good sign he shouldn't be on a list.

Thanks for your efforts Trav but.cya

 

[CBombers17]

Played one of his better games. Added nothing.

Colyer and a third for Kelly?

Every player puts wax on their hands before the game, but surely this bloke squirel grips a knob of butter!

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

did not fumble once...i suppose thats a positive

 

[Duckworth]

Will be surprised if the wing is not Mutch, Mutch better next year.

Started the year well for the first 2 or so games.. but I'm not even sure how his spot in the side was justified all year.

Thats the inditement on Trav. Yesterday he was clean, decisive and still added very little. In saying that, he had lots of mates that did less.

Apologies if I've missed any sarcasm here but do players actually run wax into their hands before an AFL game?

There's something called grippo that helps cleaner hands.

I find his off the ball work much more frustrating than his fumbles, and that's saying something. He's supposed to be a pretty intelligent guy but he seems to be the dumbest footballer sometimes.

What a dud.

Some very harsh criticism in here. Wasn't our best on the weekend but was far from our worst

Agree. But he is a senior player, and so is judged at a higher standard. Players like him and Myers are not good enough at current, and I don't see that changing.

While that's very true, I feel like we are saying something along those lines more often than not - "he wasn't best, but wasn't worst". It's time players like Trav start contributing in a way that means they are closer to our best on rather than treading water in between.

I think the problem might be that he is consistently amongst our worst.

Myers id give another year as his career has been stalled by injuries & he is a big bodied something we need more of..
Colyer has has enough chances, had a breakout year a few year ago, but whenever he goes near the ball now days, he seems to either turn it over with a poor disposal by hand or foot or just fall over at a critical moment, it almost cringe worthy at times. if it wasnt for his pace he probably been traded off a few years ago

there is an issue if the most positive thing you can say about a guy is that at least he wasn't amongst the worst.
