Clayton Collard

[Cruiser23]

18 year old, 182cm, 86kg. Just got de-listed from Freo, was pick 31 in last years draft, small forward and potentally can play midfield. If there are no big names up for the PSD draft this guy would supply more forward pressure which is much needed and IMO is a must get. Has played one senior game for Freo and also did play very well for South Fremantle early in the year then dropped his form a little. What are peoples thoughts??

 

[XXX KINGS]

Draft the guy for sure if no off field problems. Why was he delisted?

He is a talented player.

 

[AsianWithAFro]

pft typical Freo delisting talent for no apparent reason. He'll be picked up first round surely.

 

[Pafloyul]

Let's not get carried away with the discards. Freo would have more reason to delist him than, say, Geelong would for delisting Grima. If we find that we have to take that route, I’d have Grima ahead of him.

 

[HBF]

Would be very interested, but you would have to wonder why he was delisted in the first place. I'd be very keen to pick him up in the PSD. I'd even consider taking him at #46 should he still be available in the ND.

 

[marcmurphy3]

We MUST take him.

No matter what off field problems he has we should work on them with him. He is to good a talent to overlook. An absolute feak. We have to at least give it a go because if it comes off it will come off big time.

Is a half forward/ midfielder with exceptional footskills, speed and goal kicking ability. Impressed me more than Jetta this year.

"Mel Brown has actually been reported as saying he thinks by the end of his career, Collard will be the greatest ever Western Australian footballer in history, ahead of Maurice Riolo, thats how much talent he thinks he has."

I wouldn't take much notice of what Mal Brown has to say, but I would seriously have a look at him. There must some off-field issues that we don't know about. Surely the Dockers wouldn't delist a young kid after only 1 year in the system.

 

[Quazza]

people on the dockers forums sayin its cos he wasnt "110% committed to footy"

 

[Blue Dimension]

A small forward to help out Betts and keep the ball in our forward line...

YES!

 

[TheHeatleyStand]

Better talent than Jetta but a huge headcase... should enter the guiness book of record for sticking the most tally hos together..

Jetta is no better... stay well clear of these blokes...

If youre going to bring in a nutcase it might as well be Cousins at least he is a champion......

And yu wouldnt do that either..

If you do look at Collard (and probably Mourish) youd have to give them a massibe psych test first....

TROUBLE!!!

Would he be better getting him out of that fishbowl Perth?

Massibe headcase who was disciplined aong with Jetta early last year from the Colts.

And as for his behavioural situation... during the carnival last year.. a WA cornerstone players father was telling me all the other WA kids couldnt stand Jetta and Collard... huge headcases... arrogant and selfish people and players.

There has to be something wrong with him if he's delisted after only 1 year. If he's anything like Jetta then forget about it. We already have our basket case. Thank God we got Grigg and not Jetta.

If Collard was a switched on footbaler he would have made the tp 12 or 14 last year.. Freo took the punt.... it lasted a year ...

 

[[ToTTi]]

Is Collard the one who started a massive all-in brawl in an under 16s match a few years ago? I think it was at PP, not sure though...

 

[Bronze]

Not sure about Fremantle....they have a bit of a history letting talent go.

Mourish and Collard could be great pick ups in the right team.

What about Haddrill aswell.....key backman???

 

[DBLUES]

For the Dockers to have kept farmer on the list and delist Collard - Well, something just don't smell right with the lad. He is a freak but then so was Angwin.

plus Ryley Dunn, was take in top 10 a few years back. If he is a little bit of a trouble maker, he is only 18, i'm sure we can change him. He kicked 4 goals three weeks in a row for South Fremantle, he could have a good future in the AFL.

 

[Bluebear]

I didn't think clubs could delist players after 1 year.

Gee, another WA player with off-field problems..........I'm shocked.

 

[RPCB]

Didnt Collard only play the one match?

As long as they pay out their contract they can get away with it
