Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted December 27, 2024 Posted December 27, 2024 Believe it or not but I had Collingwood as a second team back in the mid seventies. Under Tom Hafey they played a good game of football. Don't worry I saw the light in 1988 when abused by a little old lady magpie supporter for cheering a Melbourne win. Since then GWS has been my second team. For a while they were like a fantasy football league Quote

I'm more confident now than I was last year. Yep He’ll be a Dee barring some late winds change — ie upheaval or sudden major decline that looks unrecoverable.. but can’t see that as even IF absolute worst happened & we lost Trac, Clarry, Max next year and even Kos, I honestly blv the haul we’d gain in conjunction with our young talent means it’d be a 2-4yr skid at most! But my current feeling is that this group now is closest thing we’ve had talent and fitness wise to our 2021 group, line by line, 90% doing 90% of pre season etc so of course that can all change but KW a demon is about $1.27 for mine 😉 8 2 Quote

Ollie fan 3,671 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 I am confident he will end up with us. However, he is a young and skinny, and I really don't see him being a good AFL player until about 2028 - he will need to fill out, and learn the senior game. This is absolutely not a knock on him, but you can't be a ruckman or a key position player until you have some weight and strength. 1 1 Quote

It was a dreadful act by the AFL and some compensation should have come our way. 1 Quote

Still feel we needed to draft or trade in a ruckman in the 22-26 age bracket ready to take over from Max in a couple years, even if we get this kid it's ganna take time 2 Quote
