Our latest recruit which makes up our list of 38 for Season 2001. Were we all happy with the clubs decision to draft Wilson? With the loss of White and Gherig I was pleased that they selected Wilson to fill that position since he's been very successful in Westar level.

Rintoul didnt make much on an impact last year and the bad press of the taxi driver incident wouldn't of helped. I hope he goes well under Mick at Collingwood for the rest of his career.

Wilson (Willo2) gives more physical presence to the half forward line. The transition from Westar to AFL, though, is huge. I hope he can make it. I always thought that Spinks and Fewster were going to be long term CHF's

Frodo - Maybe his nickname should be Blocker the 2nd, since Paul Wilson is the original Blocker.

GOOD LUCK TO TROY WILSON! I met the first wilson...Peter Wilson. He was a really good guy! I hope Troy follows in his footsteps!

Having White and Gehrig go, and with Cummings probably missing a couple of the early H&A games he was a great pick-up
