Re: When is a rebuild not a real rebuild?
2019 was all about trying to address the debacle under Pelchen and Elshaug. We had boxed ourselves into a corner and were heading south big time. Something had to be done. In 2019 we got Howard, Hill, Jones, Ryder, Butler, Byrnes, and Connolly. Now, I know we gave up picks, but I think that's a pre...

Re: Clarkson
Disagree with Tony on Rath completely.
Oh and I know Tony personally stand next to him at Training a lot.
Enright , Roughead , Rath , Walsh …..fantastic appointments.
I don’t think , I know.

Re: Bill Davoren's legacy.
Back to Collingwood, I also agree that they are rebuilding. Off the top of my head they have drafted Scharenberg, Freeman, Karnezis, Grundy, Adams — all top end talent — in the last 2 years while still having a very strong core of senior players. I fully expect them to rebound very successfully in ...

Re: longer
I'd be disappointed to see either traded, unless we had someone else who could potentially be as good. Ideally they'd be our Gardiner and King of 2017. I'm not sure what Longer ended up with, but he had 6 tackles at one point. Not bad at all for a big man! These days though not many if any clubs pl...

Re: Longer has a long way to go.
Unless Longer can learn to mark and get the ball around the ground its a waste just hitting the ball in the ruck as proven by not one centre clearance in the first quarter.Will never play forward based on today. marks as well as Paul Callery. 8-) Minson 1 Mark Vs Longer 1 Mark ?

Re: Petracca Vs McCartin
Happy with either to be honest.
But all the people that I know associated with TAC /AIS rate Mc Cartin as clear no 1.
Just saying can Hawkins play well anywhere but key forward ....Cloke ? Jack Reiwoldt ? Josh Kennedy (eagles) ? Drew Petrie ? Jay Schulz ?

Re: Petracca Vs McCartin
The game has changed however theres still a place for tall key forwards and they are as rare as hens teeth. Qualities ones that is. So when you have the opportunity to grab a quality tall forward and I mean creme of the crop you take him without hesitation. McCartin won't be overlooked that would b...
