Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones - out for season after suffering Achilles rupture vs CFC on GoodFriday - go well CCJ

[hilly]

As in unco?

He was pretty coordinated for someone eight feet tall.

Why is everyone suggesting JHF will play forward? Tommy Powell was prolific in the middle and JHF has a considerably larger frame than he did. Couldn't be more excited about the prospect of having a player that produces a dominant first year in the system not unlike bontempelli or walsh did.

Cunnington, Simpkin, LDU, Anderson, Phillips, Powell, Thomas, Stephenson, ... it's going to be limited mid time at least to start with.

Danger dusty petracca all spent lots of time up forward before transitioning into a full time role. Id think similar for horne

Not sure about his ruckwork because of the lack of footage but his marking reminds me a lot of Shaun Rehn back in the day and the older posters know how good he was before his knees collapsed

Older posters?! WTF? Oh, he's been retired for 20 years. Play on.

You're telling the story now.

Similarities between CCJ & Rehn with their towering marks. That's all

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Finally got round to watching the highlights package the club put up. Plenty to like in the small sample of senior games played, although that free against McKay is still rubbish.

WELCOME CCJ!

Future second is steep but maybe we rate cooper coming through and would probably lose that pick anways.

Coops kicked 7 in a grand final, racked up near 30 possessions to be equal BOG recently. YEP we rate him.

I think it highly likely Stevo becomes a bit more of a permanent forward over the next few years, with just minor bursts in the middle.

Confirmed he didn't want to go through the PSD.

 

[Lomas]

Confirmed he didn't want to go through the PSD.

But, but, we had to use a future second rounder! The horror...

 

[giantroo]

 

[king rising]

Good luck to him. Exciting prospect

 

[Devington]

Confirmed he didn't want to go through the PSD.

Called it.

Explains everything.

EDIT: Some may s**t on him for it, but good on him. Indicates loyalty and arguably leadership. Those attributes might end up being more valuable to us than next years second rounder.

 

[Lomas]

After all that, what is his contract leangth?

"... he'll play alot of ruck for us going forward."

Does that mean going forward into the future or going into the forward line and playing alot of ruck as well?

 

[Psicosis]

Speaks glowingly of Nobes. Big tick DN.

Maybe. I like him as an offensive winger though, and I especially like the amount of work that role requires him to put in.

A lot of posters on here are critical of Brady for "overpaying" for CCJ who we courted yet we're also critical of St Kilda for not coughing up for Xerri who were courting him. Can't have it both ways. If the club identifies a player required for our rebuild then paying a bit extra should be acceptable but some on her are carrying on like clowns.

I suspect that most people who were upset about the CCJ trade will quieten down now that he confirmed he didn't want to go through the PSD. Some will probably take it out on him though.

I still wish it hadn't cost us a future second, but the sum of all parts is probably about fair once the PSD leverage was removed.

Not sure who in here was emotionally invested in St Kilda paying up.

You didn't just tie that into the grievances over the CCJ trade to make a false emotive argument?
