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

[Zach Package]

Make us proud, son. Never forget who you are.

 

[Dons4days]

Thanks for the memories Trav.

He's still got a lot in the tank & I can see him realising his potential once he's given a stable spot in his new team.
Wish him all the best & really hope he does a 'Melksham".

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Wonder if his absence parts the way for Hinds acquisition. Pretty much see him playing an identical role.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Obviously needed his salary of the books. Been a good servant but someone we needed to move on to get Shiel it seems. Hope he plays well at Freo.

 

[Wangawuti]

Good luck Trav

Nick is still weak
Upper body wise. I wonder if he has fixed the issues both he and his brother had playing up here liked to party harder than Tom
Liberatore

 

[fishardansin]

See ya Trav. He gave his all to the club through a tough time. Shame really because he was coming good before it all cracked. Hopefully it turns out well for him in Freo. Just the sort of honest player with speed that I can see Lyon having a specific role for and getting the most out of.

At least he's not old fat and slow.

Hope he makes it but apart from his speed is still slow with decision making as he still doesn’t expect to get caught . He has been that way since juniors

 

[maskmcgee]

In the first half of 2015 before he got injured we wouldn't have won a game without him.

Doesn’t need it, wouldn’t be playing the midfield role at afl level. Half forward, goal side of the stoppage. Still can hold a tackle despite lack of size.

 

[Bombers36]

He was one of the players that really got affected by the ban.
If you look at his stats for the 2 seasons prior to the ban he averaged nearly a goal a game and seemed to handle the ball better and used his pace well. This season he only got picked for 8 games and they were kinda sad to watch - he was really fumbly, and seemed to get caught with the ball a lot...

2014/2015 season averages: 23 games, possessions: 16.5, goals: 0.78, tackles: 2.56, marks: 4.21
2018 averages: 8 games, possessions: 13.4, goals: 0.2, tackles: 2, marks: 3.9

Hope for his sake he can rewind the clock back to 2014/2015 at Freo and wish him all the best, but not sad to see him go.

We won 8 of our last 9 with him, I think I read.

Against St.Kilda - round 5 2015 - was the infamous Carlisle "this club is ****ed" game. Ess 82 - St.K 80.

Trav, with a bung ankle, kicked the winning goal after taking the ball on the wing and burning off a few defenders.

Memorable for me, as I was beside the bench, Joe was subbed off and there was unrest with each change of player as we managed a few sore bodies.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Loved his speed, but hated his fumble attacks. Thanks Trav and good luck at Freo.

Wasn’t the Adelaide game the infamous one?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Trav was the second one to sign on, after Hocking.

As I recall too, was thought by everyone to be behind only Heppell, Hooker and Hurley in terms of the “important” ones we wanted to retain. Thought of quite highly.

 

[eDPS]

Will get more opportunities at Freo, good luck to him, he had been a good pickup for us and I think he tried his best to get the most out of himself with us aswell.

 

[Stopher]

A good move for all parties concerned. All the best, little man.

Yet another link in the Essendon-Fremantle connection too!

 

[84859300]

Maybe he had two?
He definitely said it when he came off the ground, when St.Kilda kicked clear in this game as well. Ses was telling him to calm down on the bench, all well within earshot of the front row I was sitting, along withe people 3 rows back who also made comment.

 

[Donakebab]

He might have been frustrating, but that's because there was always a spark about the guy that we wanted to see more of. With Trav leaving now both of our initial sponsored players have moved on, along with those from 2012 and 2013. I never went along, but from all reports Trav was a legend on the sponsor nights and was always very appreciative of the support he received. Maybe some who went along can attest to this?


All the best, hope you have a stellar season in 2019, except a nice quiet game in round one would be nice.

 

[Haychh]

Probably not his best moment but my greatest memory of Trav is the 2nd last goal against the Hawks in '15. It was almost as if he was just going through a training drill, got the handball from Chappy and so calmy drilled it from 40 out. It was at that point I though to myself 'This bloke has arrived'. 20 seconds later Hooker kicked his inside out barrel to win the game.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Travy always made an effort with the BF sponsors and recognised us both at sponsors nights and at other functions as well. Top bloke and one of my favourite players. Was "My Boy" in the my boy threads for the last couple of years

 

[adsla69k]

Hope he goes great at Freo.

 

[JT_the_Man]

* his best was good. Will miss him, hopefully he can crack into Freo’s 22.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

All the best Trav.

You are off to Freo though mate...not the Eagles.
