List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade and FA

[localfootylegend23]

Honestly I can’t believe we haven’t delisted Long already. He’s clearly not AFL standard. Rupert Wills reincarnated.

Wills could def find the footy better. In that last carlton game I was bemused at the fact we left long on cripps to go on a warpath for nearly the whole 2nd half (obviously stopping cripps is tough but)

Long is bigger+more athletic but can't see him playing afl footy unless we are crippled by injury.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Jaiydn Stephenson as a DFA anyone?

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Buckley was quick to determine that Stevo didn't have what it takes.

Geelong will have a sniff for sure.

To do what for them exactly?

He’s completely cooked at AFL and VFL level.

Depends if what we saw was all he's got. Felt like he was given a defensive remit and became too reactive to be effective - even defensively. Just looked slow of body and mind. But maybe there's more there if he gets the approach right?

Jaiydn Stephenson as a DFA anyone?

I feel sad about this
A young man who totally lost his way

we “could’ve” and should’ve had a flag in 2018

• if Treloar had one ounce of composure instead of manically running forward with ~2.30 to go and kicking it straight to McGovern for no reason
• if Langdon had paused, held onto the ball and asked the ump who to hand the ball to instead of giving straight to Ryan and allowing him to rush it forward before we could set up
• if the umpire had paid a blatant block on Maynard

I loved watching us that year and Stevo is a huge reason for both that and why we should have won the cup

Their current style would suit Stepho.

 

[Jen2310]

Jaiydn Stephenson as a DFA anyone?

He's lost his passion for game. No coming back from that.

 

[Horaceg]

Playing for North, I can see it for sure.

 

[Apex36]

A sniff at what? He’s retired under contract, he’s not going to another club.

 

[Jen2310]

Playing for North, I can see it for sure.

Just shows how mentally weak he is
He didn't have the tools to succeed long term

His life choices are his own

North will be happy to pay him to be away from the club.

No mention of De Goey trailing his man McGovern by 20 metres when he took that mark.

PTSD.

I was kidding . He seems to be the last person to realise he’s lost the passion.

 

[SchuPie]

Fair call but Treloar doesn’t have have to go to that contest. Hell, I’d prefer if he stopped, spun 180 and kicked it back to one of our boys rather than do that

 

[OniAu]

I dont think you can cast a sports person playing at the top level for 6 odd years as mentally weak , bit rough

Collingwood supporters were robbed of so many great success stories that year

Tyson Goldsack's remarkable return for finals after an ACL in March
Varcoe winning a medal a month after his sister tragically passed away on field
Mayne redemption story
Jaidyn Stephenson wins premiership in remarkable debut season
Mihocek an even better debut season story, filling a key forward position after years of draft rejection
Treloar redemption after the infamous 2015 comments about Richmond
Buckley finally salutes

And the heartaching story of Murray Swinton, the firefighter with MND that Buckley dressed up as a firefighter for on Queen's Birthday. He passed away just two weeks after the grand final.

The Eagles were a great side. I'm not particularly bitter anymore, but that GF win would have been the cream on the best year to ever support Collingwood.

It took me months and months to get over the loss
I prob had irrational scars in the form of how I felt about certain players after that

 

[Jen2310]

Even so, I think there was a bit of that. Didnt want to do the hard yards, and couldnt adhere to the toughness required.

I'm still not over it. Never will be

Surely if he quit, Norf don't have to pay anything.

Last year definitely masked some of the pain but that one really hurt

 

[mocamagic]

I wouldn't bother with Tomlinson

 

[davea_melb]

Last year definitely masked some of the pain but that one really hurt

Or 1970, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, they really hurt, until 1990!
