Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones - has resumed light training post his Achilles rupture and many months rehabbing post op.

[The acurate one]

This just makes more upset at Wardlaws hammy
CCJ should donate his match payment to him. The fraud

I think we just cut our losses now mate.

I wanted him dropped after last weeks effort. Greenwood ran around like an animal at VFL today.
He's concussed so will miss next week but I think that's CCJ done for the year. VFL and then gone.
Pick 19 is history. We need to move on.

Yes well he is really shithouse and I've threatened for a while to name our Shitmen team of the century. He would get a game for sure and most likely in the leadership group.
The reason I haven't there is so many players to choose from it's overwhelming.

I'd play "forty' Ford forward and at CHF. Leave Coleman-John in the VFL with zero interest in giving him a game at AFL level until such time as he dominates the VFL.

****ing Majak Daw couldn't get a game with us forever.

Play greenwood as relief ruck. Comical how bad this bloke is. What were we thinking.

 

[footy2016]

What a horrible footballer. I have seen enough. Don’t play him in the 1s again.

 

[Roosurgence]

Gives us nothing.

Our list mgmt team should cut their loses on this turd.

EFA

 

[The Nostradamus]

EFA

that would require them to actually recruit KPF which they seem allergic to

CCJ isn’t even a footballer let alone a KPF.

He would be lucky to be on any other clubs rookie list and we are paying good money for him to do SFA.

His whole recruitment is embarrassing and should be the end for Rawlings.

 

[Roosurgence]

Our list management team at the time went out and chased this guy.

What a disaster.

Anyone involved in that decision should not be near an elite AFL program.

 

[Outtatym]

Will play the occasional game where you think he could have finally turned the corner and could be what he could be. It will drag on for 3 years in hope, but at the end of the day he will still be a fumbling plodder.

 

[kirbonavich]

Not a great payoff for us on this trade unfortunately.

 

[Themanbun]

Was rewarded with selection after stamping his feet and refusing to compete last week. The same behaviour we rip into JHF for (but excused while he was with us).

We need standards.

Oh well.

 

[zoomba23]

That was one of the worst games anyone's ever played

 

[Roosurgence]

 

[Joshen]

I was feeling positive at the start of the game when he was showing a bit of aggression and hunger.

It was all down hill from there.

To be fair to JHF we put him up with CCJ when he came to the club…

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

89 pages on this fraud - and most of us could see after 1 game this bloke was crap.

Unfortunately our recruitment team couldn't see they were getting bent over by Richmond and let CCJ dictate terms that he wouldn't go through the PSD.

If that wasn't bad enough now we have doubled down with our current day selectors playing him week in week out.

 

[koshari]

Which time? Need to be more specific.

i imagine it was the falcon, seems consistent to the reported timeline.

 

[koshari]

I hope he retires a club champion and that the first page of his thread will eternally be people complaining about trading a pick in the 20s for him.

i hope he is delisted.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

i hope he is delisted.

Contracted until the end of 2025 which suddenly seems a very long time away.

I'd prefer not to be overly critical of North players and I do hope that he can improve and become a decent contributor, but I won't be holding my breath.

how can he not!

 

[kingcarey1]

He’s playing and moving like Treebeard from Lord of the Rings

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Teams are playing flakey half backs on him and running off him.

We’d be better off with 21 and that not happening.

 

[tazaa]

Treebeard ended up being quite useful

 

[Roosurgence]

Isn’t this bloke on some ridiculous amount like $500k?

Imagine being paid that amount of coin to do your best impersonation of a veggie patch.

Would be lucky to be on $100 match payments at a country club.

 

[Gumble Frankieton]

I'm thinking that we go for a bit of a Fine Cotton move and get Tyler Sellers to change his name by deed poll to Callum Coleman-Jones

Well to be fair that's not a hard conclusion to come to - it's why slow big cumbersome types no longer patrol around the forward 50 at the elite level. This is something our selector 'brains trust' are struggling to come to terms with.

At VFL level sure - even CCJ can kick 9 in a game - but AFL level its never going to work yet we have the delusion that it will.

Yep - happy to go with 21 ex CCJ.
