How is he going over a pie land ?

Mitch will be back in the squad this week and will most likely get a decent run of 6+weeks with Hansen out of the team through injury.

Is Nathan still being played as a defender or is being moved around a bit more ?

how has his form been
 
Still being played at Full-Back in the ressies, and he's coming off a hamstring strain.

He's coming along slowly, as learning how to be a FB is a slow process, but he has looked alright.

I'd suggest we won't see what he's really capable of until 2009, given that he is still learning the position, and that it's as much about intelligence as it is about physical ability, but he has a lot of talent, as you would know with Mitch.
 
I'm happy if he stays in the VFL and keeps learning the game. I agree that we don't have to rush him, but it would be nice if he could get a couple of games this year.

I really don't know what his position is, but if he could play as a key position backman and exceed in that role, then things will look good for us for a long time.
 
Mitch has got the jump on him early but it's a waiting game and i expect them both to be very good contributors to their respective teams. Like Nathan and Ryan Lonie and Heath and Rhyce Shaw and Bobby and Cindy Brady...

There's not a big difference between any other identical twins I've ever heard of, so if Mitch turns out to be good, I wouldn't worry too much about Nathan - He'll probably follow.
 
Thanks guy's

I could see both of them playing like Rutten in time, big strong defender but with good disposal.

Mitch showed very good signs a few weeks ago in defence against the cats. he was out muscled a couple of times but his body positioning and pace were right up to what you would like stood up under some real pressure, the cats forwards were getting awesome delivery think he might have had one kicked on him after nath ablett took a contested mark on him.

nathan will def be a great defender, but mitch is a natural fwd, not a defender
 
Came into my work last night with Ben Reid. Those boys are huge. They will terrorize the opposition in a few years.
Where do you work?

Hopefully a steakhouse - Ben Reid opting for the "Eat it all and eat for free" five pound steak, and Nathan going something reasonable as well.

I don't know. Che Cockatoo-Collins was a lot better than Donald Cockatoo-Collins.

Che wasn't Donald's twin - David and Donald were twins, while Che was their older brother.

David and Donald were equally poop.

All talls die at Collingwood. I wonder why!
Yeah, Travis Cloke isn't developing at all, and Chris Tarrant remained useless his entire career with us... In fact, we've never had a decent tall :rolleyes:

Have no fear about NB, copping some flack for being a bit slow but most dont realise he is coming off hamstring and isnt fully confident (ala Akermanis). At teasting he was very quick over 20m and once that confidence comes back I expect to see a bit more of him. Will play 08 for me, outside chance of 07 if he can put 5-6 games together as Moneybags did
 
No rush. Does seem to be moving like injuries have taken their toll a bit this year, he certainly looked much more mobile at U18 level.

Would like to see us chuck him up forward in the Seniors for a game or two near the end of the year. Too many in front of him for a backline gig at the moment.
