    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Scharenberg is the closest I've seen of a kid come to the way Guy McKenna played. Shame what happened to him. I thought you had a beauty in him.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    To cover off a number of your points: Agree - you are very well coached. At a minimum, the Pies have been very hard to beat. Your midfield has been potent but I'm just not sure you can rely on the old timers. That's just my opinion though and they'll probably prove me wrong. What kills me...

    Sidebottom and Howe from memory.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    They all ran through the middle. We had exceptional depth and hence we had them playing mid / forward. Fair to say I'm comfortable in my knowledge of the Tigers team through our 3 flags and how they played. Short granted is a stretch. My typing got ahead of my brain. Maybe I should have...

    Where to start...Dusty, Cotchin, Edwards, Bolton, Prestia, Short...ok 👍

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    I'm not questioning the 2 Daicos boys. JDG...yes. Durability is an issue but a possibility. Pretty much stops there though for now. Not sold on Ned Long. And yes one of your young kids may step up...maybe. It's high end elite kids though that carry you to flags when looking at some of...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    If you really think you have a midfield that can compete with the top teams then what more can I say other than...ok.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Midfields with tremendous depth are what wins flags along with excellent backlines and potent forward lines. Your midfield (other than Daicos) is far from where it needs to be. Ok we can include Josh in there alongside Nick. I struggle to see how the others will step up other than being role...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    IF there is to be a rebuild at the end of the year, I'm assuming Collingwood still has its first round pick. I don't know who will get snapped up through the academies and father / son but I assume they will snap up a top 10 pick. It then comes down to who gets potentially traded out for a...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Thanks for your insightful response. Is your issue that I commented on your forward line or Howe being injured…again? Your forward line is questionable at best. You have lost Mihocek and are relying on McStay and Membrey as your key forwards. They sure do instil the fear of god in other teams...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Started 25 season excellently. No-one can argue against that. From round 18, the team lost 5 of the last 7 games. A number by a small margin. You won against the Crows who choked...badly! The team is going into the season with question marks around the forward line and with Howe injured...

    Have Richmond passed North and west coast

    Amazing what a full list does to a team. Not to derail this nonsensical thread but Essendon is one of my keenest watches this year (along with Collingwood and St Kilda). If they can keep their players on the park, will be fascinating to see how the list is progressing.

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    My take from this is that Daicos did not play his position as well and to the best of his ability as others and hence did not win his clubs B&F. Taking this one step further … stay with me now Corn … does that mean he was gifted votes across other awards? Surely the Pies coaching staff know...

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    Agreed they are not the be all and end all. Stats are being thrown around though and if we're objective, all winners across all those categories I listed show that there is no stand out. Like I said though, he is very consistent which is remarkable given how young he is. And I agree with...

    Have Richmond passed North and west coast

    Just to clarify, it is considered to have strong top-end talent but shallow depth. And it was compromised because of the Academy picks. West Coast however still picked up what was universally acknowledged as the top 2 picks. Those top 2 picks in 5 years time may track well compared to...
