Lynch is a different beast to Fasolo, and Stevo isnt neccesarily a career forward pocket. Some may argue JDG isnt either. And I dont think we should get too content assuming that Cox Mihocek and Thomas can repeat 2018 on a long term basis. So not sure I agree with you that we dont need Lynch. But thats a different tread topic.

Fas is a popular player at Collingwood (and a GF player) so he'll be missed if he chooses to leave.

Harry O'Brian was also a GF and premiership player and definitely was not missed.

You said he is popular and will be missed. I don't think thats necessarily the case, eg Harry O wasnt missed either

Both H and Fas are both people who brought a bit of personality to the player group.

Both went public with mental health issues.

Where Fas is different is that he has never played the victim card.
 
I like Fas, but like Mayne he has lost his accuracy/confidence in front of goal, and unlike Mayne he doesn’t apply pressure.

I wish he wouldn’t go to Cartel so I could still feel good when he has a decent game at his new club, but c’est la vie.

Honestly I feel for Fasolo a bit, missed out on 2010, had to put up with all the club drama's as a teenager, had his health issues now finds himself way out of the side as the eighth/ninth forward. If Carlton and him make each other happy I would let him start training there today.

He was drafted in 2010 :huh:
 
I feel sorry for Fasolo.

Battle away manfully these past 2 seasons playing for a bottom eight side and one with serious forward transition problems.

And yet he still produced the most productive seasons of his career to date and was one of our best goal kickers.

Fast forward to this season and he was made to jump through more hoops than plenty of others have been in the past to get a senior opportunity and when it finally came he was injured at the start of the second quarter.

He may not be in our best 22 anymore but in reality he has never received a proper opportunity either so his true worth remains an unknown within this improved team.

Not surprised he is looking for more opportunity elsewhere and I just hope we aren't silly enough to contemplate moving Elliott on also based on one good year of football from other personnel.

Bigfooty does Stupid well.

I'm unconvinced about Murray.
Aish, however- did you not even see him this season pre injury? Under rock hiding?

If you wanted to know why we were sitting bottom 6 for consecutive seasons, there it is.

The dynamic of our forward line going forward is quite exciting.

We have Stephenson, DeGoey, Hoskin-Elliott, Cox, Thomas and Mihocek all capable of kicking 30+ goals and we had Fasolo winning our goal kicking with 29.

Even more of a reason why Lynch is not a necessity and i won't lose sleep over not getting him.
Add an A grade key defender and Lachie Whitfield type user off half back and we are set in my opinion.

Agree 100%. Not to mention Jamie Elliott should he ever get back to full fitness. So plenty of options as you say.
 
Funny the blowback when I wrote a few days ago that given he's only been selected once in 2019 that the coach didn't rate Fas anymore, and that he'd be somewhere else in 2019...

The Age then writes that he's going to Carlton for more opportunities, and now everyone is writing his Collingwood obituary.

IMO this all was evident from as early as around round 5 or so onwards when they were giving games to Crocker over Fas.

What I didn't foresee when i was critical of the club for not trading him out last year, was that we'd get any sort of compensation pick for him if he left as a full free agent.

Wherever he goes, I wish him luck (except when he plays us)
