Player Watch Patrick Lipinski

Jack Crisp?

Heath Scotland couldn't get a regular game, and went on to play 200+ games at Carlton.

You must be shocked Mayne didn't win a few Brownlows or at least Copelands.

Mayne was the exception that proves the rule. I think

I reckon Mayne was a secret groomer. That would have turned to dreadlocks in a heartbeat without hours of combing. Plus he wasn't that good, so he must have been.

True, though my response was about players that came to Collingwood after not being able to get a regular game elsewhere.

Tune in.

Patty coming up on triple M in 10 mins.

True. But my Nanna probably could of played 100 for them during that period

Josh Kennedy struggled at the hawks, now look at him at the swans.

, acquired in a trade with the Western Bulldogs late last year.

"It is one of those ones I experienced when I was at Brisbane – some good players leave, because they just don't get the opportunity, which is fair enough, and the same thing happened at Richmond with the likes of Dan Butler going to other clubs with good opportunity," McRae said.

"We are lucky to have Patty in our environment. He's an elite runner. His hands around the contest really stand out. He is one of those guys who just really fits in quickly. He is a really good human. He may be one the Bulldogs may rue, we'll see, time will tell on that."

His interview from yesterday.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Bloody nice pickup.

 

[Kappa]

Jen2310 was right.

Not Bad Being BOG in his Debut Game

 

[lenny20]

If we currently had Treloar and the Doggies currently had Lipinski, I wouldn't be disappointed with a straight swap.

Insane how much difference one year makes in trading outlook!

Great debut, everything we could have hoped for, and 23 years young.

 

[Anzacday]

If we currently had Treloar and the Doggies currently had Lipinski, I wouldn't be disappointed with a straight swap.

Funny I said at the game if you remove all the picks etc it is effectively a swap.
Treloar going there made it tougher for PL to get a game.
PL suits us more than Treloar IMO.

Bevo has had a bad few days!

 

[Kirby]

He’s definitely Pinsky material!

Exceptional start to his career in black and white....very good replacement for Adam, younger and cheaper too.

 

[TradeDraft]

 

[Jen2310]

You're welcome. Pick 43..

 

[rand corp]

A magnificent debut, can't do much more than be your side's best player in a winning team.

 

[Dazb86]

Pretty much went as expected. Wish him well just not against us.

Wrote this on our board:

Great for Lipinski. That’s why he left. To play a role in a side he wouldn’t get at the Dogs. Him playing well doesn’t reflect on us, it just says our attempts to make him a flanker were a bit of square peg in a round hole.

The move was the right thing for his career. He’s a midfielder and with where the Dogs’ list is at in his position he’d still be depth, but 23 year old talented kids don’t always just wait around for 28-29 year olds to retire so they can finally play consistent top grade footy.
