Player Watch #39 Mate Colina

[Grrr]

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.

Plays a bit like one K. Bartlett. Even does the two fisted salute when he gets a kick.

Mate will be welcoming all of the new draftees on Wednesday night....

So did Mate ended up getting rookie listed as promised by the club or no because we didn't have a rookie pick this year?

Has not been relisted as they would have had to take the pick in the rookie list to do.

 

[Infamy]

Possibly means that he was able to get an exemption to stay as a Cat B rookie given his injuries.
Guess we'll find out if he's at training next week

 

[Profop]

So if we weren’t able to get him extended on the Cat B list again (and I’d be a bit surprised if the AFL allowed that) then we’ve done him pretty dirty

 

[tiger_tough]

Roksman what's the go here? Is mate still on the cat B list?

 

[Nostradumbass]

Complete waste of time and money.

Wasn't going on the cat A rookie list. He's getting relisted as a cat B.

Are you sure that’s correct, i didn’t think category b rookies needed to be drafted. I thought they were just added into the list?

I’m unsure whether Colina could stay as a category b though.

 

[Wrenny]

If he’s on the cat b list wouldn’t we have taken either a rookie pick or the later pick in the draft?

Or we going to have some train ons?

List is full. No idea why we had that late pick on the broadcast. Think it was an error

We delisted him, so he would have needed to be re-drafted and there has been no announcement that he was. Until there is something official released, then I'm taking the opinion that he hasn't been retained.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

The club already committed to re-listing Colina so it is a fair bet he has been approved as a Cat B rookie again. This would only be fair as he hasn't had the opportunity to play. Looked at from the AFL's perspective, it would be counter-productive to the raison detre of the Cat B rookie program to not allow Colina to be a Cat B rookie. They want converts from other sports, and to disallow it in this case would not send the most welcoming message to future prospects who may be weighing up converting to AFL.

Until otherwise stated, I am going with this.

My only concern would be there is some suggestion he didn't get through the last training session, and obviously if it was a serious back injury again there would be a point the club would just say this is pointless.

A 7 foot tall KB with hair and all. Totally works for me, what a frightening prospect running around on the half forward line. ^^

 

[Lord of the Wings]

The only reason this guy is still on the list is so we can replace broken light bulbs without a ladder. Waste of Farken space.

Was a bit of both. As soon as we traded 27 for Roos F1 (hehehe), we had one list spot so got an additional pick at the very end of the draft.

When we traded back in using our F4 to 58 to select Alger, that added pick should have been removed as that list spot had been filled.

That’s fair, odd for the club not to have confirmed it.

It was my understanding that Tylar Young was promoted to the senior list which left the rookie list as follows:

James Trezise
Mykelti Lefau
Jacob Bauer
Seth Campbell
Jacob Blight
Campbell Grey

Cat B:
Oliver Hayes-Brown
Mate Colina

We went into the draft with eight picks and used eight picks, Colina being a category b rookie never would have dictated the picks available to use in the national draft.

I had wondered whether Colina could still be used as a category b rookie following his time already on the list. If the AFL doesn’t allow him to be a category b that would mean he doesn’t have a spot for next season. It is strange there’s been no acknowledgment from the club.

 

[Steely Brown Eye]

raison detre

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

They said on draft night Cat B’s didn’t require a live selection

 

[Tiger1974]

On a positive note, his kicking skills look really good ......................when compared to The Snack Pack.

They don't when they're initially listed but when a player has been delisted they need to be redrafted

I cannot find anything that confirms either way but I thought this was only if a cat b rookie moves to the standard rookie list.

 

[energyquant]

Mate be like....

 

[tigs2010]

Is he still a Tiger or not ffs?
