Can Egan and Rusling Play

[daics cousin]

Well you don't have to worry about Rusling playing now.The way things are going we will have a team of walking woundeds before the season even starts.Bring on 2008.

Vinnes thread about Rusling is quite well thought out how the forward line will work out now

 

[toommy]

No doubt quick over the ground, but just lacks vision, awarness and ability to quickley dispose by hand and foot at this stage.

but that will come in time

 

[Shellz]

Rusling can't play anymore...

Rusling can't play anymore...

What do you mean?

I can't believe that Swan could be left out of any Collingwood side. Licurias day in the sun has finished and I would start Swan, O'Bree & Pendles on the ball.

Yeah, me to i think swanny in the guts plus the class of pendlebury would be good.... dont get me wrong i love licca but we have to move on.

Rusling is out ; I don't really care ; he is crap anyway.

Bring in Clarke

Swan should be up there, someone suggested Egan on the wing? I'm not sure, still fairly slight build and has he got the overall skills? I mean he can kick as straight as anyone, which is a real boon given the way some kick, but his ability to win the hard footy in traffic is still suspect I reckon. This year will probably be another year coming off the bench into the forward line as required. No matter what, Pedlebury must get game time, he has the potential to be the full package more so than Thomas, who as good as he will be, has no weight to throw around and never will. Leon still hasn't got the 'presence' to really hurt anyone in the midfield, although dangerous as a crumber he has to get the decision making skills and be able to consistently win and deliever the footy from tight situations on other parts of the ground. Although he is almost there, that doesn't win premeierships, does it.

Leon has shown he has the ability to extract the ball out of the centre, unfortunately he doesn't have the aerobic capacity to stay there long.

Royal Sampler that is something that isn't noticed much. Leon has underrated clearence skills. When he is on the ball, even for a short time, he often gets a few clearances.
