Welcome to Freo Travis Colyer

[Lach72]

Future 4th round

 

[Bastyy]

Future 4th round is about perfect for him

Now try and get kelly real quick

 

[its free real estate]

That’s not Dyson Heppell

 

[longsuffreosupp]

 

[Belnakor]

Essendon list manager just gave him a massive wrap

 

[Andronicus]

Congrats guys.

I’ve got mixed feelings about this. Never fulfilled his potential, but is tailor made for a big oval. Loved watching him at his best, and I’m sad to see him go. At his best, electrifying. At his worst, he is a great guy to have around the younger guys.

I get to a few Freo games each year. Hopefully he will be named for those games.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

There must be more to this. Are we helping Essendon to free up cap space in return for a favour next year?

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Sigh.

At least we have our new Danyel Pearce replacement whipping boy/target for fan angst.
Along with Conca, between the two of them, there should be quite the competition for most critiqued on this board.

Which one shall I take in the buddy draft next year...

 

[Kapow!!!]

 

[serial_thrilla]

Who needs Lachie Neale when you have Travis Colyer!

Early dibs on being his buddy!

 

[One_Wing]

Pretty cheap get, always good to have some experienced blokes around to help set the standards at training.

 

[Bombermania]

Congrats, Trav is a good bloke that is quick and at times dangerous with his speed, only knock on him is his habit of not composing himself before kicking the ball which can be frustrating because he often burns his chasers off very easily.

 

[Dale147]

He’s a WA lad too isn’t he?

 

[stormee]

Cheap get, big experienced body, has pace... better than playing a team of 18 year olds and getting belted by 80+

 

[Cobbler]

No harm for a future 4th. We’ve literally seen today how easy it is to create extra draft picks if we have to next year.

Adds pace in our front half. Is depth.

Seems a good character.

Well done Freo.

 

[Allikat]

Well he's one of ours now. Welcome to Freo Trav!!!

 

[freo1997]

Welcome Travis! Just watched a few of his highlights..impressive wheels.

 

[Mootsy]

good range of skills..
Fast too. Kicks goals.

 

[rgauci]

Mentor to Giro now Lachie is gone.

 

[Jezzitizle]

I feel like this is the trade week equivalent of a nil all draw.

 

[freo_leo29]

I obviously rate him higher than most here but reckon he can be handy

a tiny bit frustrated that we go into the next draft with no points for academy players tho

Hopefully Trav proves some people on here wrong, look forward to seeing him in the purple!

 

[StingBitten]

What position?

 

[apuchar]

He’s a WA lad too isn’t he?

Yes

 

[kingswood71]

Welcome Travis. Have no idea who you are, but welcome anyway!

 

[yakka man]

For the price a decent recruit. Not sure about a three year deal though.
