Player Watch #39 Mate Colina

[Dreamend]

Coming off a serious injury all year, he's running better than he has since joining us.

He's exactly what a category b is for and I'm encouraged by his progress post injury.

Predicting a Cat B rookie won't make it hardly stamps you as a doyen of the game if it happens to end up true

True. But it makes you a pretty serious @rseclown if your assessment ends up false. TigerImposter

Colina was playing both basketball and football until he received a scholarship to the AIS in Canberra - around 16 I think he was. Colina may even have trained with State Colts at some point for memory. Whilst he moves OK around a key and was well regarded at Hawaii, what VFL games I saw him in he struggled a bit when needing to move bigger distances involving any contact. No doubt he would improve with time. Didn't he have recurring back injuries that hampered his development?

Did he play Cricket?

Did he play Cricket?

He played a high level of Handball and was school representative 2 years running

 

[energyquant]

Clocked 17:34 for the 2km time trial. Room for improvement.

Top 10s: 2020 National Draft Combine - 2km time trial

AFL DRAFT combines have wrapped up around the nation, giving an insight into how each elite level hopeful stacks up athletically. For most prospects, it was a chance to showcase just how much they had improved since preseason, especially after a full season of football – albeit compromised. For...

I hope TigerImposter had a good look at the tallest man alive's game in the match sim yesterday.

Moving beautifully, covered loads of ground with ease, showed excellent agility around stoppages and got involved in some nice transition plays. Some very good one grab plays. Not quite the complete package yet, but I am officially getting excited. Give him a year to just add to his game but also add some strength over the ball, could be anything. It remains an absolute mystery why he cannot jump, but he can really run.

TI fuming that the tallest man alive looks like he could be anything after TI lobbied Government ministers to have him deleted from our list.

Very mobile thought he was next best ruck behind Nank. Ryan and Naismith Meh. Who was the tall guy with the baseball cap
back to front?

It was Oliver Hayes-Brown in Mate's #
The commentators didn't pick up on it in all game.

What's his deal? Never mentioned as injured but never plays either. I mean if he was good enough for Calder Cannons can only assume he can do all the basic fundamentals?? Mason Cox

is a pea heart who went from never laying eyes on a football to tearing Rance and our entire backline a new arse hole in a similar timeframe that Colina was first signed up at Punt Rd to now.

The tallest man alive returns from a year out injured in such magnificent order he beats 3/4's of the field home in the first 2km time trial. And those who have staked their already terrible reputations on him proving worthless are now genuinely concerned... TigerImposter richoplzbreed

You're a world class talker. Blocked you over a year ago for whatever reason but that comment caught my eye as myself and TI apparently " staked our reputations on him proving worthless". I'm completely ambivalent towards Colina. He's played 7 mediocre games in magoos averaging 4 lousy touches 0.6 marks and 0.3 goals and 5 h/o's. In all that time not even a glimpse of potential other than apparently running a nice time trial

He signed in 2020 been on the list seasons 2021/22/23/24 that's 4 years now. 1st couple on approx $85k last 2 on $115k? That's still $400k, enough for a house in St Albans outright and 4 years of showing nothing really.

None of us truly know how favortism works at Punt Rd. Why blokes like Jake King, Taylor Hunt get gifted repeated games. Must be nice having a ruck coach/ relative pumping your tyres up so you get money for jam. No issue with the first few years was a failed gamble. Was lunacy giving him another year.
