Are people really complaining about a Cat B Rookie that
  • Doesnt take a spot on the main/Rookie list
  • Gets Paid Rookie salary thats not in the cap

Not playing or always injured
Who really gives a sheet , We had Cumberland for 5 years that frustrated the shed out of all and never did a thing
he probably made a million dollars and cost a senior list spot and a draft pick

It's all just a bit of fun. I'm not complaining. If he ever gets a game I'll be there cheering (and laughing). Until the draft I'll post a GIF every few days just to keep his name on the first page :)

Halo druže, da li bi svratio da popijemo ćevape i Marasku Marashino dok gledamo kumove?

Some of us have given a lot of money to the club for a long time. Wasn't too long ago we were rattling tins because of the clubs financial irresponsiblity. He's not going to amouint to jack sh1t and i'll be amazed if he even plays for the VFL, much less a solitary decent game for the VFL. By the end of 2025 he'll have fleeced > $600k out of Punt Rd which equates to $120k per VFL mark........ For the tallest player ever that's a disgrace. For a comparison Mason Cox (plenty around here slag him off, I quite admire all he achieved from where he came from) in his 3rd year destroyed us taking 8 CONTESTED MARKS in the 2018 finals where he made Rance look like Jayden Post. In 4 years Colina has taken 5 lousy marks!!!!!

None of us are stupid. If his name was Matthew Collins he would've been rissoled after 2 years. OHB has leapfrogged him. I'd rather our medicos putting time and effort getting contributors like Hopper, Prestia, Lynch, etc back out on the park than Maric's useless mate.

Oh and btw Cumbo was going at about 1.8 goals a game there for a nice stretch before Hardwick completely destroyed his confidence.... In the seniors no less!

Having money means nothing in the AFL mate

If you have cash you get less from the AFL
If you are NorF you get more

May as well spend it on a dream

You moan like a woman wanting to debrief her day at work. The melodrama.

I had a gf like that once. One Sunday, she was doing the weeks ironing while I was lazing behind her on the sofa. I got up quietly, slipped out the back door and went & played 9 holes of golf. I swear when I got back home and sat back down, she was still talking, still ironing, and turned around crying, & said "it is like you are not even listening to me!"

You get it all out RPB, you obviously need to. If you want to think it is all Mate Colina's fault, you go right ahead and think that. We're here for you. :tearsofjoy:

We could draft an elite kid or bring in a state league ruckman. Both much higher chance of making it. Seems like a pity signing because we whisked him away from bball and promptly Meehan’d him.

too many doormats at RFC off the field.

Dusty could not carry them anymore, they broke his back

I dont think he'll be cat B next season, he'll be a legit rookie.
 
Obviously we're looking to draft midfielders with our #1 and #6 pick in the draft. I hope we remember that Mate Colina is effectively a 4th midfielder when he plays in the ruck. There's no point picking an accumulator like Jagga Smith, given that Mate Colina will obviously beat him to the fall of the ball.....

With the team list being so young maybe they’re keeping someone around who at least looks 45 years old to keep the kids on the straight and narrow

We would be setting him up to fail if we keep trying to make him a ruckman … he’s either key forward, key defender or a wingman

With his running ability he looks a natural high half forward to me.

And with his height he is also a natural high half forward. The highest half forward ever.

We've all overlooked the obvious. No Dan Rioli = Mate Colina running and bouncing through the middle of the MCG - a sight to behold....

People often speak in jest about Collina's potential but by some metrics he's putting together a stellar career.

Never been suspended or fined.
0 Clangers.
Disposal efficiency, in a way you could say that he has never missed a target at senior level.
Never been subbed off.
Never been subbed on.
Equal (in a way) across both feet with also no clear preference to kick or handball.
Never been beaten in a ruck contest.
Yet to be tackled

And people are wanting this guy delisted??? FMD!

Nothing I am looking forwrd to more in 2025 than the tallest man alive causing his critics to go into Cale Morton mode.



"Oh shit, this guy has actually got some weapons," will be posted over & over. Meanwhile, his biggest supporter, me, will be sitting back smoking the cherry wood, collecting kudos for fun. :cool:
