Hi,

as the error message states, you cannot use top and bottom anchors inside a 
Column. After all, that doesn't make anyways. The Column is an invisible 
element which aligns the items inside in a column, hence moving them up and 
down inside the Column. Manually setting a top/bottom anchor point or some y 
value is conflicting with what the the Column should do for you. If you want 
something to be anchored at the top and the bottom like in this example, just 
drop the Column.

Hope this helps to understand,
Michael
