Player Support Draft!

[Pie 4 Life]

This has worked on other team boards so I just had an idea to get 44 Collingwood Posters to support one player from our list for the year. THen, maybe through the year, each poster can give updates on that player and expectations in the future for the player. That way we can hear up-to-date information on all of the players. We know we will hear all the usual goss from J 26# and LF50 becuase they are champions, but this is an idea so everyone can put in and try their hardest to get information about their particular player.

What you do is sign up, and then pick a random number between one and forty four. I have given them random numbers, and I will have whatever number is left over.

Anyway sign up and see how it goes:

[Marklar_33]

33 Please

[Curto]

http://spinn.svt.se/images/s3-simp-muntz.gif

Not at all, I think he's a valuable addition to our list. Uses it effectively every time he gets it.

[Lonie_from_50]

Let's hope Chad has a good season. Have a feeling he will be in our starting 22 because of his experience, but has to use it, or back to Willi like last season. One of my favourite players when at West Coast, and had a pretty bad season last year (well, getting dropped).

[Pie 4 Life]

DANIEL NICHOLLS:

Originally posted by FootyDraft.com
Details:
Club: Rowville/Dandenong Stingrays
DOB: 2 March 1987 Hgt: 176cm Wgt:70kg
Position: Midfielder
Natural Foot: Left

Honours:
- Vic Metro U18 Squad 2005
- State Screening Tests 2005
- 2005 TAC Cup Team of the Year (interchange)

Statistics:
2004 TAC Cup 18 games, 3 goals, average 15.8 PPG, 7 times in best
2005 U18 Championships: 3 games, 0 goals, average 16.3 PPG
2005 TAC Cup: 17 games, 17 goals, average 24.9 PPG, 9 times in best

Awards:
TAC Cup Morrish Medal: 6 votes
TAC Cup Coaches award: 8 votes

Background:
Left footed wingman who was in his top age year at the Stingrays. Best known for his blistering pace, getting the ball and bolting away. Will stick his head over the ball and has very tidy skills. Was among the Vic Metro early squads this season and held his spot in the side for the carnival. Had a good season at the Stingrays finishing 7th in their best and fairest and was named among their best in the Grand Final. His performance in the competition was acknowledged at Morrish Medal night with a spot in the TAC Cup Team of the Year. Tested well in the beep test at Victorian Screening.

Strengths:
- foot skills on his left foot are good
- speed
- inside player

Weaknesses:
- height/weight for AFL footy
- kicked 17.18 this season – worse than 50% conversion? Quite well skilled generally so what happens in front of goal?

[jerry springer]

Congratulations, these are your players...

23. jerry springer (Anthony Rocca)


managed to score the player who gives me the s.h.i.t.s the most.should be a interesting season.

[MarkT]

Thanks Coin Toss. At least he’s got pace. 2nd round the rookie draft is Hail Mary stuff.

Go DAN THE MAN!

[FIGJAM]

FIGJAM'S Anointed Player: Guy "Stretch" Richards

http://www.footywire.com/statsvault/img/player/5/guy_richards.jpg
Guy in possession of football in AFL sanctioned match. Only known photo in existence.

Draft Pick Selection: Third Round, Pick 37, 2001 National Draft
DOB: 21 March 1983 Hgt: 200cm Wgt:95kg
Position: Sidelines/Ruck
Natural Foot: Left

Honours:
- Nicknamed "Stretch". Known in some circles as "Limo".

Statistics:
2004 AFL Premiership Season: 12 games, 3 goals, average 9.2 PPG, average 13 hitouts
2005 AFL Premiership Season: 2 games, 0 goals, average 6 PPG, average 14.5 hitouts

http://www.geocities.com/buckleysurfers2004/2004pracmatch09.jpg
Guy taking a grab at the Old Girl. Unfortunately the Old Girl hasn't hosted AFL footy since we drafted him!

Background:
Left footed ruckman who has all the attributes to be a servicable ruckman for the Collingwood Magpies. The only deficiency noted in his game, is his inability to show us his game, for us to note deficiencies. I'm at least 25% sure that he's still on our list, and even more certain that if he is, he will almost play round 1 only to be set back by minor soreness of a body part which will require a Wikipedia search.

http://collingwoodfc.com.au/cp2/c2/webi/person/013194ai.jpg

Strengths:
- Wins hitouts in the ruck
- Good footskills
- Fairly agile for height

Weaknesses:
- Weight
- Back
- Achillies
- Groin
- Knee
- All other body parts

http://www.geocities.com/buckleysurfers2004/2004rd4action1.jpg
Richards stunning the football world by winning one of Collingwood's ten genuine hitouts of the naughties.

[guess_who]

Didn't you read it!

[Stakerz]

20 Thank-you:)

[Jabso]

Here's a quick summary of what I've heard about Iles.

Wiz generally does not rate him one bit.

Pros:
- Good Composure, confident.
- Good tank
- Moves well in traffic
- Most people see him as a smart footballer

Cons:
- Another plodder? Average skills, average pace, average size
- Wiz really questions his footy smarts

Has impressed in training and the intra club match playing both in the midfield and the backline. Was in the 28 man squad to face St.Kilda.


If there is a fair number of players not picked up perhaps certain individuals can get another pick ;)

[Pie 4 Life]

Congratulations, your players are:

30. stui magpie - Shane O'Bree
18. guess_who - Rhyce Shaw
20. Stakerz - Simon Prestigiacomo

[stui magpie]

Congratulations, your players are:

30. stui magpie - Shane O'Bree

Yay, Cheesy. I'll have to work to convince everyone that his ability to get the ball isn't ruined by the perception of his average disposal.:D
