Injury Colquhoun building for 2015

[*PAF]

Nah. Get some size and turn him into a tagger that can find the ball and can punish the opposition as his footy nous and skills are top shelf.

Yep, same size as Kornes and building his endurance to the same level. Great link up player and knows how to accumulate.
Just needs to work on his short dinky kicks, a few seem to drop too short. (Also getting him back from injury )

 

[Killer Power]

hes more of a pittard type role player or broady

Nope. Defensive Mid in the near future.

 

[Power Raid]

he has great composure but better suited to the mid due to his lack of size, overhead mark and lack of speed

If you took away great composure, you have summed me up as a footballer.

 

[yepits2020]

Need to give him space in 2015 and not expect too much from him. Will be ripe for 2016 IMHO.

sounds like we would be vying for the same spot on the list

The Hoons pre-season has already started.

 

[DazzaTys]

Please don't tell me he's going with the Schoenmakers hairstyle?? Hoon what are you doing?

Not getting a haircut until he plays again i'd guess.

 

[tangolikelama]

I love the hoon

Where's the pic from?

How would people feel about the idea of morphing colquhoun into a defensive forward across the half forward line? We seem to have a large number of backline pittard/broadbend types and can just picture him hitting Schultz lace out on the lead time and time again.

Nah, Monfries and Neade are our men for that. Hoon will moved to defensive midfield rotation or even straight out tagger replacing Kane once he builds up his tank.

looks like he has put on some upper body bulk in that photo. I likey.

What if Monfries gets a half season holiday from ASADA ?, thinking more short term while building his body and tank to take Kanes role in a few years time. Jeez im looking forward to watching Neade improve next season and impact games for longer.

Yeah, fair call. No idea what Hoon's goal sense is like though. Defensive forwards need to be able to hurt their opponent on the scoreboard.

he is fighting for the opportunity with Moore

Kicked a pretty good goal & setup a few in that epic showdown win, can't wait to see Hoon back next year.

 

[Coobk001]

Colquhoun is our instant improvement on Mitchell if he comes up. He provides that run and link play that we had no choice but to use Mitchell for. Hopefully next year he is fit and he slots back into that role. After that who knows where he end up but a long term replacement for Kane is possible.

 

[mic59]

Out of the 22 we had against Hawthorn I would have Colquhoun competing with Monfries, White and Moore. And I would have him marked as the eventual replacement for Kane Cornes. The job he did on Bryce Gibbs in the final game of 2013 was sensational and it was him going off with an injury that turned the game on its head.

 

[Pappagallo]

I know it's a cliche but it'll be like having a new recruit with Sammy back. He showed a lot as a greenhorn in 2013 and I'm really excited to see what he can deliver next season.

Always seems to have time. That's a quality skill to have.

 

[Forzaport]

First year back from a knee reco so don't expect wonders. He may not get much AFL time at all.

His knee injury was earlier in the year so he should have a better year than most returning from a knee reco.

 

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

For me he's the kind of player I don't expect much from, so hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Yep. May not be quite as quick in a straight line as Mitchell but he'll be quicker than Kane. Better disposal than Mitchell or Kane. Seems much more of a natural at getting his own ball (to be fair Mitchell has improved on that a lot this year) and has that same "footy sense" I see with Young. The Hoon may become that run-with player we need to succeed Kane, and with a bit more hurt factor going the other way. I hope he can be fully AFL match fit by the middle of the season, would be an tactical weapon to deploy in the second half of the season.

every physical attribute is working against him, but he is smart and composed. for that, he will probably win!
