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

Heath Scotland couldn't get a regular game, and went on to play 200+ games at Carlton.
True, though my response was about players that came to Collingwood after not being able to get a regular game elsewhere.
 
McRae has been excited by the pre-season and scratch-match form of Patrick Lipinski, 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."

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.
 
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.
