Yeah, he had a bad day. Funny how that happens to outside players when the inside brigade shuts down.

Boo-urns Romm. My late picks are vanishing. -_-

Hah, give me Treloar and I'll think about sending him over to you.

Yarran gone way too early. #Overrated

Watched plenty of Carlton games this year and he turned the corner. 4th in the bnf, happy to have him on a wing ahead of L. Jetta

This isn't the Delusional Pearlers .

Not a bad get so late BomberTime.

Jack Ziebell - Looked to have turnt a corner late in the season. Could expect some decent games from him next season (as a forward not a midfielder).

 

[MightyDons4]

I'll take Colyer over both Yarran and Jetta

Maybe the actual problem is that you underrate him. Or is possible that you have been a critic of him for so long you are unwilling to change your view despite him clearly having a career best season. He is a unique game breaker, there is no denying that.

*and i needed his pace in my team

Although he showed signs late, he is not at that level just yet.

He's already a consistent line breaking wingman, something Yarran and Jetta never have and never will be

Lol.

Mate come on. Trav has got more then 20 touches 5 times in his career and only done it more then once a season in 2010 when he did it twice.

Yarran and Jetta did it 9 and 8 times respectively in 2014 alone.

Yarran and Jetta also had 13 disposals or less 7 times last year (not including when Yarran was injured), a feat Colyer didn't achieve once. Perhaps I overrate him, but I think he's our 2nd best attacking weapon (slightly behind Zaharakis and ahead of Melksham)

How many of them were they subs?

2nd best attacking weapon? To say perhaps you overrate him is an understatement.

Jetta was subbed off late in the GF and Yarran was subbed off twice (early in one match and midway through the third in another)

Who else is better at driving us forward and creating goals than Colyer? Excluding Zaharakis.

Heppell? Winderlich? Goddard? Hibberd? Tell me when to stop.

 

[eth-dog]

Jetta's had 3-4 years of good football. Colyer's had half a good year.

 

[MightyDons4]

Heppell? Winderlich? Goddard? Hibberd? Tell me when to stop.

As good as Heppell is, attacking isn't his greatest forte. You could make very strong cases for Licka, BJ, Chappy etc. however, I feel Colyer is unique due to his line breaking ability and the number of times he pumps it inside 50 which normally hit Daniher/Carlisle lace out. Hibberd is an awesome rebounding defender, but I'm thinking more along the lines of creating and finishing scoring opportunities.
