The collins trade was a shock to all admit it, people were on a collins bandwagon before the trade and saw him as part of the future.
In answer to the question though, we won out with the Grigg/Collins trade and that instantly tells you Grigg has had far more impact than Collins. I would rate Grigg around 10-15 most valuable player in the team so in that sense I would rate Collins in the reserves and I can't see him improving much more.
He would probably get a game at Melbourne or GWS though, which he should be pushing to do if he wants to extend his career.
Edit: I personally like the guy, I watched him play several games before he was even in the AFL since I enjoy watching my local footy, he was a star. He has potential that he just never has shown on a consistent basis.
Bendigo has a curse of our best footballers disappearing as soon as they make the AFL. Troy Selwood was by far the better Selwood twin back in the day, look what happened to him also. (Joel was always the best Selwood though)
