JHF will be an A grade player in the next few years IMO. As for his first 2 years, Nick is so far in front it's not funny. Nick has put in several superb games on the board. None of which we can say about JHF at this stage.
HEY, it's just my opinion. I might be wrong. I do value key position players and I would be more than happy if Sam Taylor and Charlie Curnow played for Collingwood. Would fix our 2 glaring holes. Nick's start to his career has been off the charts but so far only the start.
I do want to see an...
That's a fair task, Fadge.
Even for 2024, to pick a top 10 is fraught with danger as some may fall off a cliff as the season progresses.
For the present moment I would say
1 Bontimpelli 2. Petracca 3 Toby Green 4. C Curnow 5.J Cameron 6. Sam Taylor 7. Butters 8 Walsh 9 Neale 10. May...
If you are truly weak in the contest you will not make it at AFL level, it's as simple as that. You can certainly argue that he is not, as yet, a hard nut player , like a Joel Selwood. Like all young players he has areas of his game to work on and with his work ethic, he will.
Have no problem...
Remember that game well. Tony Francis got 6 weeks? from a kicking charge as well.
Heard someone say only 2 teams in 100 years have won the flag after losing the first 2 games of the season. If true, Friday night is a huge match for us.
It just doesn't make sense . Your description of him as a squib, can't win contested possessions, can't win the hard ball is the description of a player who is not AFL standard and if anyone at Collingwood agreed with this assessment, he would be a VFL player only and maybe not even that.
Yet...
History repeating?
Have 3 lifelong friends, one sadly passed away in 2016, who followed the Blues. All of them of the nice variety, unlike the many feral ones on BF. They all argued the same about Peter Daicos as Nick Daicos cops on this thread. They never rated Peter. Depended on others...
It's time posters like yourself get over the jealousy of Henry walking out on us. He was always heading to Geelong after his initial contract, McStay had nothing to do with it. There was even a post from a relative on BF who stated this would happen from day 1.
We could have made him captain...
Enjoy Richmond's descent into another 37 year abyss. IF I were you I would get off stinking up every Collingwood related thread, fire up the manure truck and head to Punt Rd. I'm sure you know where it is. just explain to the boys there it is not for them to feed on, they already, like you, eat...
True, it is a huge weakness in our side. Our list in that regard is behind most of the competition. We fluked Mihocek, an unexpected success and without him it would be possibly bottom 4 in the comp.
I had a good laugh a few weeks back when posters talking about preferring Frampton over King...
It's not excuses. What you are doing is using exaggeration to the extreme. Can you put up just 1 example from the GF where he squibbed it? He had the most CP on the ground for us. His goal in the first came from a free kick when he went into a pack and copped a hand around the neck.
Did he...
Never disputed that Walsh is a genuinely tough player. Every player in the AFL is genuinely tough. Some are tougher than others. not everyone reaches the Joel Selwood level of genuine toughness. But every player at some stage didn't go hard at a particular contest. It happens.
What Walsh and...
And you clearly don't understand the role based system that each club has its players perform.
This selective bagging of one player, particularly when he has performed well above expectations is absolutely moronic and smacks of jealousy. And the questioning of his courage by gutless keyboard...
Yes the GOAT conversations are ridiculous. He is not even ahead of Bontempelli and quite a few others at this stage, but some of the rubbish you and that Richmond village idiot have written in this thread ,is completely ignorant and makes you both look like morons.
Daicos's role in our team...
IMO , Kernahan was the best contested mark I have ever seen, remarkable also because I seem to remember he played with contact lenses.
Was however , possibly the worst singer of all the players mentioned.
Exactly. He was serving it up to the haters with facts. You know those things that were valued before the advent of the shit stain Trump years.
Gerard is a bit of a prophet. Was watching one of our games from 2023 a few weeks ago and his commentary was "the recruiting of Bobby Hill was a savvy...
Would also love to see AJ cement his spot. His skills are elite, despite the fact that he never seems to do quite enough in a game , particularly the 1% ers. One of the most watchable players on our list though.
With regards to Allen, I watched the NM trial game 1 hour highlights last night of...
Excellent video. It demonstrates that a far right nut job like Netanyahu is not only a disaster for Israel but for the world. To help a terrorist group whose aim is to wipe out Israel to prosper for the purpose of 'hitting the Palestinians so hard that they will succumb' is diabolical.
It has...
Sounds like a great excuse to use all the benefits these so called incompetent arseholes have provided when you use the roads provided, the education system, the health system ect, ect and avoid contributing as little as possible to their continuation. People who have this whinge are also often...
Price gouging is the product of free market capitalism. I think it was Karl Marx who wrote that 'within the capitalist system are the seeds of its own destruction'. And we may be about to reach that point in the near future.
A free market will advantage those with more money and power and...
