Comparisons to J Hird

[albyg]

I love it, very humorous all the posts.....

To the saints supporter, I reckon Hird was better than Voss, yet from that era when all were up and running, Kouta was best of all....just unfortunate about his knee, and I will save that comparison until later!!

James Hird is the new Tim Watson of the coaching world. One of the most hesitant "commitments" I've ever seen. Another blunder by the Essendon Crisis?

 

[PumpyChowdown]

If you combined Pluggers strength and goal kicking, with Matthews toughness and skill, Kouta's athleticism, Carey's swagger, SOS's defensive skills, Doull's rebounding and spoiling, Diesel's in-and-under qualities, Ghandi's compassion, Winston Churchill's leadership, Einstein's intelligence, Ron Jeremy's sexual prowess and Jesus's inspirational qualities...

...well then you're about half way to A. Collins. He is no mere mortal.

 

[rofltown]

i agree with the op

if we don't see some hird magic in the first 4 rounds then cut him

/sarcasm

When Collins plays his first match for Carlton, he should kick around 60 goals, poll 3 brownlow votes and cure cancer. If not delist him!

 

[machina]

You guys are dreaming. There's no way he'll be able to achieve all this while running the country, solving the water crisis, reconciling with indigenous Australians, building a power-generating fusion plant with nothing but a set of pliers and a couple of bales of fencing wire, meeting and establishing peace with our extra-terrestrial neighbours and formulating a grand theory of everything. He's just a Carlton player.

And to think they gave him 4 years straight off the bat. Will they never learn ?



Sounds like Hird was spuds compared to what Collins will be !

Hird wouldn't have got the Brownlow votes

 

[Sin City]

Good comparison, they both have the same coaching credentials

I am back out on the town tonight, could be another 5am post coming up, ok, ok, I am hoping not due to a couple of reasons one of which is clear as day as per the comments in this thread and the other, well I am single and so I guess that should be clear as well........heres hoping anyway!!!

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

He sort of reminds me of a cross between Ablett Snr, Wayne Carey and Greg Williams. But better than each one of them individually with the potential to be better than the 3 of them combined.

 

[Wickzki]

If this kid doesn't come out with 8 goals 34 possessions and cure pancreatic cancer on his debut, i will be very dissapointed

To add a little seriousness here...

Alan Thorpe thread.

 

[Brent Prismall#9]

To the OP, what are you on?

Seriously, if it could get me believing Dempsey's the next McLeod and Neagle's the next Fev (on field) then **** it I want some.

When will we start to see the photos of Andy Collins with his wife and three kids though ??

Has he got a girlfriend ? Maybe he can rent some kids.

It would have been gold if the OP wasnt serious.

The kid shows potential and lots of heart but it's too early to call!

He stole Agelina Jolie from Brad Pitt and convinced Jennifer Aniston to be involved in a life of polygamy.

There was some tongue in cheek in it, I know its way too early to call, and a bit of a pipe dream. However, the comparison was really to some physical characteristics as well as him being courageous.

 

[Sin City]

When Andy Collins mucked up in school, he would send the teacher to the principal's office!

 

[Gravyman]

Rumour has it he took out all the taliban/insurgents in the middle east and soldiers are only there on routine holidays.

 

[Blueboys7]

He found Nemo before anyone else did.

 

[Aphrodite]

This thread is hilarious & some of the posts are absolute gold



Did Andy have ballet lessons as well when he was at school

 

[Mister Carlton]

Aaron Joseph will enjoy having another aboriginal at the club. *cue Harker*

 

[DarkTint]

I was at the physio and I overheard Andy Collins say he was off to the Gulf of Mexico to clean up some oil spill or something. Oh and that he will miss the start of next season with O.P.
