Electric footballer, has the one weapon that can't be stopped. Pure, raw pace that very few can match, and it's combined with elite endurance.
Sky is the limit with what Colby can become. Said it before, but the arched back running style reminds me so much of Ben Cousins.
Has the confidence to use it and his disposal is deadly.
 
All the talk of this role being all cheap possession and no impact. The amount of the work the suns had to put in to stop Colby literally running the ball from D50 to F50 IS impact.

It seemed to me that the suns changed the way they setup from kick ins to avoid Colby carving them up. And what happens if you don’t? My man ran 3/4 of the ground and setup a goal.

Every club in the league would kill to have a kid do that. Every club would kill to be able to force an opposition to restructure in fear of a 19 year old carving up the ground.

Absolutely, deeper into the game, they had to sacrifice having a number at the contest outside 50 so that they could prevent the give and get.
