Rocca can barely keep his place in the Kangaroos and they dont even have any decent forwards... Collingwood has Tarrant and Rocca just got in his way.
Sav Rocca kicked 35% more goals than any Collingwood forward in 2004, including Tarrant. Truth is Collingwood are on the big slippery slide and old man Sav just keeps rolling along.

Savaloi is a top 20 of ALL TIME goal kicker.

That arrogant t0sser Tarant will be lucky to be in the top 500 when he's done.

Argue the point all you want, but the facts speak for themselves.

Haha Sav kicks goals, great kicking action, but he doesnt have the physical presence of his brother anothony, or the dash and workrate or tarrant, I'm not saying either are beter than Sav, and I still love him for his days at the pies but i don't think he was needed, especially with cam cloke, fraser and davidson all playing forward in the future.....
 
1. Trading Paul Williams for nothing
6. Trading Heath Scotland
15. Trading Nick Davis for nothing
When a person wants to leave theres not much you can do

2. Trading Andrew Schauble for Mark Kinnear (druggy who never played a game)
Still rather have Presti and Wakes. Schauble didnt do much for us

3. The infamous Mal Michael/Jarrod Malloy trade (I wonder who got the better deal there).
Maybe, maybe not

4. Trading for Andrew Williams
We didnt lose much, Adkins hasnt done much and is still injury riddled

5. Not getting Stevens and keeping Didak instead.
Will people get over this, Mark Williams went for something he knew he wouldnt get. It was never going to happen. If Didak was agreed to they would have asked for Bucks

7. Keeping Rhyce Shaw and Jason Cloke on the senior list.
****************

8. Letting McGough go for nothing.
He wanted to go and your the one who later complains about picking slow, no skilled players

9. Getting rid of Sav Rocca.
Good move, Kangaroos are the only club who would have kept him so long doing nothing

10. Playing Jason Cloke in the forward line in the 2003 Grand Final.
Didnt have much choice

11. Having 3 Shaws and 3 Clokes on the one list
Nothing wrong with that

12. Recruiting, fat, slow, in and under players with no skill in previous drafts e.g. Shackleton and McGough
Agreed, thats why we got rid of them, yet you said getting rid of McGough was wrong?

13. At the end of 1999, when he came, trading pick 3 for pick 7 with Richmond and getting McKee in the process
We were desperate for a ruckman who didnt need development

14. Picking Danny Roach at 7, playing one game for the club.
Ill agree on that

The 2 mistakes he made center around Molloy

In 2002 he should have picked McGough instead of Molloy
In 2003 he should have played Molloy and McKee instead of Walker and Kinnear

That was the supposed logic in letting him go BUT Anthony Rocca, Tarrant, Cam Cloke and Fraser have proven to be little more than show ponies compared to the big Clydesdale Sav.

Likewise Nick Davis was going to be the next Peter Daicos but somehow this theory all went pear-shaped as well.

When Malthouse built the West Coast machine he drove it ruthlessly. It seems the Collingwood model these days has too many in-built soft options.

didak will be better than stevens so that was no mistake, although they could have done more to get stevens what did they offer wasnt it like picks 18 and 30 something?



Didak will be a good player but Stevo will end up being a Great player under Pagen,He wil lose his soft style of play and push him into the top level of the leauge.
