I’m not convinced Atu will make it but can’t help think he’d be more useful as a pressure forward than Cal Brown.

I was gutted we traded him. Of all the players to go he had the most value, Stephenson is a spud in case that hasn’t shown yet.

He was the 1 I was actually sad to see leave but his request came at a time when we were negotiating the Stevo deal. Not sure the optics of forcing a 4th player out of the club instead of someone wanting to go to the very same club would have been any more acceptable to the masses. Way too early for the call on Stevo.

about time this superstar's thread was updated.....i was incredibly impressed with D2's game on the weekend. I think we should make north an offer.

I have seen you post this a couple of times but my recollection is he was also pushed out. There was no contract on offer at Collingwood but he did want to stay. NM gave him an offer so he had no choice but to go

He felt he had no choice but that was apparently his own impatience to ensure he had a deal for 2021 rather than the reality. Club was working through a number of deals, his was just down the pecking order. If anyone can confirm he was never going to get another deal at Collingwood if he waited then I’ll happily change my view.

Maybe we are making different interpretations of the same info. I felt sure I had read somewhere at the time Collingwood had implied they were unlikely to give him an offer and encouraged the move. Where did you get the info a deal was to be done but it was down the pecking order?

I feel if that was true and Collingwood really wanted him we would have kept him pretty easily. He wouldn't have been on much more third year so it would have been an easy calculation for the club to make and offer him something.

Got my info from a friend of a friend who has links to the club so nothing concrete.
