I've been thinking, we need experience and we need good engines, players who can spread.

And I got to thinking, who are we missing?

Bring back Bruce!

Hear me out. He has a good tank, reads the play, runs like an old holden, has some height & seems to have plenty of time.

Were we hasty?

No. Cam was a bit hasty because he saw what he believed was the writing on the wall and left of his volition when he could have remained a one club player.

Now he's a three club player - Melbourne, Hawthorn and Box Hill.

He's past it now - we could do with one or two experienced players but they need to have some life in the AFL left.

His disposal was rubbish, and he is almost 33. Seriously, wasting picks on redrafting blokes as old as him is ridiculous; we'd be lucky to get a season out of him.

This is just getting ridiculous now..

Interesting thread title...are you sure your not talking about his hair?

For Gods sake!

Been Pasture-ized.

Is this a joke DL?

I laughed.

Yeah Yeah. Heair one day, gone the next.

Aren't we splitting hairs, now?

Which Hare's the problem?

Spread too thin, you say? Sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday - a very long holiday.

He would actually be of use had we not cut him. If he can stay on Hawthorns list for two years then a one year contract plus causes enabling him to a have a second year was not an outrageous demand. Bruce knew the writing was on the wall as we had just sacked our captain and had just offered him a one year contract. Bailey and co have created mayhem at this club. Sacking your captain and running your vice captain out of the club is an absolute disgrace. Now we have two young players who still have to a lot to prove to the AFL community as captains. Bruce was fading but was an outstanding servant of the club who finished top 10 in our best n fairest every year except his first (2000). I read an article in which Isaac Smith praised Bruce as a mentor. The crap he receives on this site is outrageous. He was a true professional and in a club that currently resembles an amature shambles would have helped set the standards and develop the youngsters

Is there a competition for stupidest thread?

There have been some beauty's this week

Be grateful... imagine what the standard of conversation is like on the Collingwood forum.

Something like...

"how much does yous c$&@s reckon weel win ar chwelf in a row by dis week?"

Sadly, I wouldn't mind if we had those conversations.

I dream of having those conversations.

Yeh, like we're gonna take back someone who we rejected terribly and who will soon be the No.1 Front Man for Advanced Hair! Please, keep dreaaaaming!

One day.... one day.

Of course the standard of discourse will be much higher. I just read a post in another thread here using "et al" to describe multiple people!

Certain this one is a pi$s take....

Curse you school holidays!

Come someone tell me who 'al' is? Is it something to do with cosmopolitan round?

Gotta hand it to you DL, threads like this make the forum a good read. Someone has to put it out there.

While I wasn't behind the Junior chopping, I was 100% behind only offering Bruce a one year deal and to be honest, he was lucky to get that. Hawthorn didn't do their research as it was clear to all of us watching Cam play each week that he was finished.

I think we will go after a couple of experienced guys who we can get reasonably cheap, but I'd hope we won't bother if a 33 year old Cameron Bruce is an indicator the quality on offer.
