List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade and F/A Discussion 2023

I know him as well. His best friend is my close mate.
They were his exact words. Not happy

Fair enough. I feel for Bianco as he's a good all-round player without having any stand-out trait that I have seen. He might have been in line for the spot Markov has filled, but I feel as though Markov is light years ahead of Bianco as an athlete, even if Oleg's decision-making is not always 100pc.

And realistically, most, if not all of these (VFL) players mentioned would probably not be walk up starts anywhere else either. Except perhaps Eagles.

Yeah the competition is tough sometimes

No players decision making is 100%. Even Nick makes some blunders.

Agree. I think Trent would be best 22 in a few clubs though. Not us.

 

[The Majestic]

I think there is more chance of Ollie Henry returning than Stephenson tbh and I do not think Ollie would be welcome back but I think he is a bigger chance than Stevo.

I was thinking the same actually.

Pfft none of that disrespect to the saviour

I love him even more for being human

This is the only one I can recall

I think Bianco will be at Collingwood next year. He is no slower than Adams and his decision making and disposal is much better. He is still a young man and just like a few others, he has to bide his time. Bianco could come in and play a role for us next week if we wanted but there just isn't a spot. We aren't the only team with players biding their time in the VFL, especially really young ones

I hope so too as i think he's solid depth. He may be of similar pace to Adams and a better kick, but Taylor's a bull around the contest. Just not sure what permanent role Trent can claim in the next couple of years.

The reality is that these guys are professional athletes generally with a high internal drive to succeed.
If they want to maximise the amount of games at the top level then good on them.
It only takes one club to pinpoint them as a key need, like Lipinski, Kreuger, etc., and they would have to think about moving.

This applies to Ruscoe, Bianco, Carmichael, McRae, Draper, etc.

While I suspect the club would like to keep all of them because the have a future place in the team in place of the older guys.
However our older guys in Pendles, Sidey, Howe are still performing so the timeframe might not suit them.

If the fringe guys see the opportunity and move good luck to them, they will be missed but no ill will should be directed towards them.

Mumma boys like OHenry can get f#$ked though.

He can play wing, half back. He's tougher and physically bigger now than a few years ago. Just about opportunity.

His kick to Billy against Essendon last year is an illustration of his ability.

He really has built up his body. Was surprised when I saw how him after this preseason.

Some kids just develop physically later than others, Trent seems to be in this category.

Bianco is definitely slower and smaller than Adams, and his footskills at afl level are poor, he constantly turns the ball over or kicks it out on the full.

He is slow and small, sure, but his footskills are not poor, even at AFL level. It's his best asset.

22 games, including 12 when we finished 17th and were devoid of confidence, isn't a great sample size.

Pretty much what I expect from a kid who hasn't played many games at AFL level. Not sure about constantly turning the ball over, he seems to be fine with his disposal

 

[sideswipe]

I have it on good authority Trent avoids parties and goes to bed early. Trains the house down daily trying to get the best out of himself.
Good kid

So the same source who is unhappy with the club for not playing littly Trenty in the Seniors also reckons he is a great preparer who gets the most out of himself? Strange

 

[sideswipe]

Why mate? It's true.

You don't think they sound somewhat(and understandably so) biased?

 

[Fat Jesus]

Framed by understandable bias. Hard to understand how you can't understand this. Not sure you should be posting that sort of thing on a BF board btw.

Happy for mods to delete.
Understand

 

[Fat Jesus]

I reckon you should delete the post. Not a good look for a player to have a dad complaining about his son not getting a game.

Done

Sometimes get drawn into discussions forgetting this is social media. You're correct. Not a great idea discussing this here.
Thanks. FJ is a lone wolf with half a brain more times than not.
