Vale the Mayor of Fumbledon

Haha

We just traded out about 30% of our clangers.

Scully to Hawks for 4th rounder
Colyer to Freo for 4th rounder

LOL

OK, I'm sure I'll get canned for this, but.....
Really? You don't think you could say something nice, or just nothing at all (guess your mum didn't teach you that saying) about him being traded out of the Club?
Everyone has had their fun criticising his deficiencies for a while, but he deserves to be thanked for his services to the club, and be recognised that of the people who know and value players i.e. the coaches and selection panel, that he's been a valued player at EFC.
I'm disappointed he's leaving us, he's been very good at his best. Best wishes for your future Trav.

[BenDoolan]

Nah, nothing good to say. Part of the reason why we’ve been so shit for so long. Good riddance. About time.

It makes me sick that some can bag the shit out of Goddard (who gave us damn good service), yet applaud this fraud.

You'll like this Benny.

I quickly checked to see if 'Fumbles' had met the prerequisite 100 game total - in order for any future 'father-sons' to play for the club.....As we all know he'll never punch out a 100 games for another AFL club beyond this point.

In a twist of irony - he's played 87 games.

Thank goodness for small mercies!

Look, I am sure he’s a great guy and clubman etc etc. I can only comment on his football and being perfectly honest and not blowing smoke up the guy’s arse, he was very average for a long time. Just think about it, when a club delists a player or trades them away for a fart, what do you think their reasoning is? It’s simple, they don’t rate him good enough to keep around any longer. All I am saying is that Trav was not good enough to keep on the list. He lacks the basic skills to be an effective AFL footballer. Having said that, he was well rewarded for 10 years service and will continue to be so at Freo. Long May the Lord of Fumbles Fumble.

We won on that trade

At his best Trav was a decent player... super quick, he had genuine line breaking pace and handy in front of goals... unfortunately as I think we can all agree we didn’t see enough of his best and over the last two years especially he seemed to go backwards with poor decision making and poor disposal. Wish him all the best at Freo and hope it works out for him... who gets the number 32 now??

[ealesy]

Was it 2014 or 2015 when he played absolutely brilliant football for about the first 11 weeks of the season (clean with the ball, good disposal, used his pace to advantage) then busted his foot and missed the rest of the season.

That was the best football he played for us.

Goodbye Trav, all the best at Freo

[Crazyman]

Had one really good season, had 12 months off, foot problems and wasn’t the same.
A reset at Freeo May help with a full pre season under his belt. Good luck, but not sad to see him go.

[Windy Hille]

I think he tried his best. Unfortunately, his best just wasn’t up to it lately. Looked good in stages of his first 50 games. But just never progressed.

Young players like Clarke and Mutch would be better options going forward. Maybe they could use the pick to get Nick Hind on the list? Definite upgrade.

[F111]

Colyer had some excellent moments. He'd have a scintillating highlights package , albeit not too long He was the one post Lovett that streamed thru the centre with great pace and the crowd loved it.

I liked watching him. Good luck, though when we play Freo I wanna see fumblemania!

[ealesy]

In the late 90s it was Port who used to poach our players...Wanganeen, Cookatoo-Collins, Kingsley, Hardwick etc.

It has well and truly shifted to Freo now with Kepler Bradley, Solly, Mark Johnson, Gumbleton, Coyler

Don't forget Ridley and Co back in the 90's (who were the others) for which we got their priority draft pick that landed us Matty Lloyd

Honestly, that deal today would be like us giving them Colyer and getting Nat Fyfe in return

He was probably our best player in the first half of the 2014 Elimination Final. Then he went to sleep - just like the rest of the team (I still have vision of Goldstein running past Stanton to the ball)

He was going along pretty well in 2015 before injury.

In all the fuss over Dylan Shiel, we should take a moment to reflect on the great career of Trav Colyer who ends up costing Freo more than Tom Scully took to go to Dorkthorn.

Thanks for your service Trav
