Welcome to Freo Travis Colyer

[BomberFan355]

Will be keeping an eye on him in purple, hopefully plays some good footy over the next 3 years.

 

[rgauci]

Puts Ballantyne, Switta, Matera on notice. Competition for spots is healthy.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Why did he miss the last two years?

2017 and 2018 he played a bit but 2016 was the AFL/ASADA enforced season suspension.

 

[Rob]

Kinda reminds me of James Walker. Quick but not a lot else.

Meh. 3 years is a bit of a risk.

 

[malpaso]

I don't mind this pick up. We need small forward pressure players and we need SPEED. Not a lot of room for him at Essendon, can compete for a spot in our 22 on a weekly basis.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Glad we didn’t give up more than a future 4th. I see him keeping pressure on the main 22, and a good back up to our very injured Hill brothers...

If he brings a good culture, work ethic and holds the young guys accountable and fast track their development, then I’m fine with this

Lol at people caring about the drug cheat thing.

 

[Dockernut]

I’m doing a cheer like that guy celebrating Janet from HR’s birthday.

 

[Scham]

Peel obviously in need of a small forward and a bit of pace through the midfield occasionally. We’re looking after the alignment relationship.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

He also played 7 or the 8 last games of the season for the bombers after being injured early

Essendon sucked early, so he was good enough to be in a team that was playing well late

Really was building nicely up until the 2016 suspension, hopefully he can build upon the foundation of this year and get back his 2015 best where he was showing a lot of promise. Also Melksham, Ryder and Hibberd have recently flourished under new systems and without old reputations hopefully Colyer can replicate that for you.

and a team with pretty good small forward depth

 

[Andronicus]

This is the only reason I'm not comfortable with this acquisition.

I guess you can be a campaigner about it, if of course you chose to feel the same way about Crowley and Johnson.

On the other hand, you could choose to be decent about it.

Your call.

 

[freo1997]

Just realised he’s in Hawaii atm.

Just imagine him Laying around the resort with his phone waiting to see where he’s playing next year with hula girls dancing around him.

 

[Monument Hills]

Hope he or his family don't read this thread. Bit embarrassing really before he's even played a game in purple.

My sister always liked James Walker.

Yeah there’s a bit of negativity isn’t there. Be happy guys! Can’t you feel the love tonight?

Best trade week in forever imo.

You are overrating a lot of our players if you don't think he's around best 22.

 

[hurlygurdy]

Reckon he could be a good pressure forward. He can tackle well and has the work ethic to get to contests. You don't want him getting heaps of the ball because he doesn't use it well but he does have good hands over head.

 

[Square Peg]

Will be far better than Conca in the long term. Some on here a little harsh. Over our way we didn’t want him getting the regular games he was getting, but as damaging depth, he is far from the worst option.

Do you need pace? If so, as a role player he might be pretty valuable.

THIS!
Will be a better get than Conca. Me like.

 

[Unique Name]

I know very little about him or how he plays. Happy to bring in some experience for cheap.

Hope he plays his best footy in purple.

 

[LeftFootBanana]

He has pace, a strong body and looks at home inside the forward 50. Seems to be a good character and we gave up very little to get him. Given Belly and the Silver Fox have made out like bandits, I'll trust their judgement on this one.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I'm not fussed either way

Is better than Ballas and Giro and Swtta are still finding their feet.

I just hope he doesn't take game time away from players who will if given the chance go past him

 

[Freeeoo]

Geez we have a day for the ages on trade day and people are whinging like spoilt brats about Colyer who cost us a future 4th rounder?

He will be in heaven with Lobb and Hogan - can score - think it will be a new look Freo the fans will be happy with. Colyer will thrive
