Sorry to troll, but what the f*** has happened to Matthew Lokan (a good south aussie boy). Looked on your website injury list and he's not on there????????

his playing for williamstown
dont think he will be at the club next year at all
 
But wasn't he in your best 22 in a winning team for quite a while? And he is still young, although he looks about 40. Who has taken his place???

Cheers, by the way!
 
I would say his career is over, but you never know. Still young, and is experienced enough to be trade bait. Not much on him, but you never know. On a serious note, i would like to see him out there in a Black and White guernsey once more, jsut to see if he can do something.

He was, but he wasn't hurting other teams, he was just consistently getting 8 disposals a game and was a love child of Malthouse, and even myself, but late last year, they cracked down when the season was pretty much over and Lokan was a resultant to omission. Hasn't performed too badly at Williamstown but it'll be some time before he can consolidate a spot, let alone get a spot in the senior 22.

That sounds plausible.

Many thanks.

We know your pain.
 
well it doesnt auger well for Matty when he cant get a game in our lineup the way we are travelling at the moment.....and especially consdiering he played every game (i think?) in 2003...it appears to be a sharp fall from the top

id have to agree with what the other Maggies fans have said

how about we trade him for jake schuback, one of your youngsters, and a Victorian, who is going nowhere? id like that trade :) LoL

That sounds logical, but we did something similar with Carlton, took Massie and gave them Eccles, and it was unproductive for both parties.

yeah but massie and eccles would have remained unproductive where they were also......plus you guys won out in that deal, and most likely would if this deal was ever going to get done, Lokan has some experience, adds depth, and has shown when he is playing well he will command a spot in most teams best lineup or therebouts
 
While we're talking Massie...what does an injury riddled season mean for him? He's hardly set the world alight since coming to SA and spends a fair bit of time with Norwood.
Although, he's done more at the Crows than Eccles (a forgotten man) at Carlton. I was disappointed by Eccles demise as I thought him to be a good player.

Its amazing to see a player who plays 40 odd games in 2 years not given a chance when the team is a deplorable 1-5. It just shows why Collingwood are so bad, the selection committee is a complete joke.

maybe they dont pick him cos he is playing as good a football as my grandmother at the moment? confidence is shot
 
If they play him out of the square as a leading forward, he'll be good for 2-3 goals a game. At Collingwood, apparently that makes you a superstar.

But hey, Willo's a better option. Just ask Mick.
