It's testament to his superlative class that nearly everyone in the NM BF community was convinced that he was a must-draft with our top pick, our supposed surplus of midfielders be damned.

Welcome Colby!

Can't wait to watch you run around for the next decade +

I was hard on him when I compared him to a Andy McGrath type that we shouldn't invest pick 2 or 3 on.

But the more videos I watched of him the more I started to realise that I was wrong. That's not to say he couldn't play like Andy McGrath and play defence.

He has high level midfielder craft and being a left footer is a bonus.

Wtf is it with all you Northerners taking over the allies this year

Welcome to North Colby, just like Clarko, i love left footers with pace, good luck for season 2024.

Surely this kid gets pinched by the Tassie team when they come in

He’ll have seen out the North rebuild and when we’re contending he’ll want to up and leave for a team starting out?

Welcome to the Roos Colby!.

Get on him for the rising star.

Looks more like LDU than McGrath

Colby has been my fav all the way.

Running and chipping the ball and slamming through goals and running some more.

Good luck to the lad hope he enjoys getting out of Tassie and smashes in the rising star. Exceptional talent.

Colby, aka the cheese

The Big Cheese.

Might have to get the crew from North Melbourne closer to a flag to all get Cheese Heads for when he debuts?

His mum and granddad barrack for North! Let’s hope that family connection with the club holds when the Tassie team comes in and he becomes a 300 game player.

Club sponsor and cheesemaker Tasmanian Heritage should be pleased with this selection.

Pretty sure all the top end talent from Tassie was from the North and particularly Launceston. Just need a bit of north west flavour, oh well we had a premiership player this year!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Love his mum’s “Go Roos!” at the end!

Looking forward to seeing how we look to develop him.

Throw him in the midfield and let him find his feet in the VFL against the mature bodies, or do we rotate him through the wings and flanks at AFL level?

I think his best work is done as a centre square mid, so I hope we don't try to play him elsewhere to begin with.
