Player Watch Mitch Podhajski

[manicpie]

He dominated in a Collingwood intraclub pre-season game at Parade College and we all thought that he was the next big thing

I remember starcevitch and Christian playing their first practice match at Parade college

 

[TradeDraft]

Knightmare has always had serious infatuations with players he rated highly as prospects, sometimes to bizarre extents

Most Scouts would be the Same

 

[granniewolf]

Quite poetic that we only picked him up as a result of Elliott’s last minute injury.

Feels like the footy gods giving us a break.

Or him

 

[Copeland]

He's gone pick 17 in a MSD, I think we need to cool expectations

Who decided Knightmare is an expert? Himself? Or his mum?

ESPN when they gave him a job?

[manicpie]

Just play him

 

[jimmy35]

Yeah chuck him in.

Scratches out plans to run onto the ground when he kicks his ton this year....

I always appreciated his views . He was a passionate pie. I didn’t feel I had to agree with.

I liked having him here, generally had novel things to say (which I often disagreed with!)

I hope your inspiration isn’t the Thai pies reported about.

 

[granniewolf]

I hope your inspiration isn’t the Thai pies reporter.

I reckon that was a Hawthorn supporter out to malign our club. Poo on legs just about proves it.

 

[legendstatus]

This smells like Checkers MII - have a good feeling about this one as well as keep punching!

 

[satty]

Given how prolific he has been, id say he only needs about 1 -2 good performances before he makes his debut.

Collingwood has been very good in identifying and selecting talent from alternative pathways.

He may well turn into a handy stop gap for few years before our next generation take over.

Very true, he may.

Turns out the pod is a local macedon ranges bloke

 

[Anzacday]

His game is much more reliant on forward craft than Checkers’ relentless effort style

He’s more like Jack Gunston than Checkers

Good play style comparison

I’d prefer to have Elliott but let’s hope

 

[sherrife]

He's only got 6 months, 12 games, to prove his worth. Really hope he can be an instant contributor. We need to replace Elliot, Membrey, maybe Hill, and probably McStay in a year or so, so there's spots galore in our forward line.

 

[MagpieArmyChronicles]

Taller, younger and more versatile than Skunk. If he can get more touches than Skunks 8 average, then we'll definitely see him in the ones this season and beyond.
