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

[Old Campaigner]

Yeah agreed, Frawley is actually very fast in straight line running and he ran smart as well cutting off the angles whereas Colyer was running on the outside track. If that had been Gibson instead probably would have been a different result. Still worth a try anyway - happy for him to take whoever on in that position because when he gets through its really potent.

I think had Colyer known how quick Frawley could be he'd have approached the situation differently and relied more on his agility to get around Frawley earlier rather than waiting until he'd been corralled

Don't like making big deals about solitary incidents but I reckon that bump he put on in the first quarter was a significant indication that he is an improved player.

 

[boncer34]

Stunned he only had 15 touches. Felt much more prominent.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Getting to a point where he basically doesn't waste a possession.. Watson-esque in his improvement when you consider how he used to play...

 

[The Fact]

His disposal has improved 1000% since he started at the club

 

[Whispering_Jack]

Smart, fast and has improved his disposal out of sight. My boy.

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

I don't know if his fitness will ever be greater than what it is right now and I don't mind. His impact in the first 15 minutes of the game was sublime. Really set the tone of taking the game on.

 

[eDPS]

Looking better and better, got the hard ball more often than usual aswell and some of his kicking was very good and got 27 touches which is his most for awhile

 

[pepsi]

Thought he was in our best 5 or 6. Love his kicking disposals.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Great tonight

 

[Rack Watts]

I know he got a lot of the ball, but his defensive pressure was non-existent tonight.
Not a fan of it, needs to tackle and harass like he did against Hawthorn.

 

[Killer_Mike]

Only Colyer and Daniher didn't win a tackle for us tonight so I'm sure he won't be pleased with that.
Hi primary role is to take the game on and he did that in spades.

Come back very well from a lot of time out of the game.

To be fair, it wasn't really a played on the outside kind of game. It was a, inside mid grab ball smash it forward kind of game.

For he (Colyer) to have 27 is reward for the hard work he put in to link up for the team. The goal was icing on the top for his overall game.

 

[Yoda_]

Played a perfect wing mans game tonight. Ran hard to provide an option between the arcs as was evidenced by his 8 score involvements.

His disposal efficiency has greatly improved, or is it his decision making?

I'd say the latter influences the former

 

[akiva]

I thought he did really well. Some of a our midfielders had a more quite game and Colyer stepped up.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Thought he had a pretty good crack and came out with some reasonable results. It's promising that he's been able to feature across four quarters more often this season, but also that he's putting in more of an effort without the ball (5 tackles tonight).

 

[Beerfish]

He's pretty underrated Trav. I'm sure he doesn't mind though because that's just the kind of guy he is.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Very good proud of Trav.

 

[Donakebab]

Previously Trav would have gone into his shell in a pasting, but he just got better and better. He was enormous in our third quarter and finally put his pace to use on more than one occasion and most importantly also ran defensively and tackled hard. Consistency is the key, needs to back it up.

 

[Rack Watts]

It was like having Boomer Harvey in our team tonight.

Expect Trav is not a campaigner.

 

[Rack Watts]

Has played 2 games less than Z. Merrett.
Weird.
