      Condolences to the Colomb family. Nick was a good bulldog person who was put in an impossible position by the VFL in 1989 and did what he thought was right.


      RIP Nick Columb.

        That's very sad news. He loved our Club and was there in good times and bad. Condolences to family and friends.

            Before my time as well but I have no doubt that we had received an ultimatum in 1989 where we were told to fold or merge and Columb took the less painful option.

            RIP

              Well played Nick. Here's a great link with a photo of Nick, Smorgo & PG in their footy gear.
