I haven’t seen all the videos but could they be videos for all players that made their Collingwood debut this year?

Yeah, looks that way
They started with Dean. Sullivan. Bytel now Allan.

I expect we'll see one from Parker next

Just a rolling commentary on here that all the social media posts are those either getting delisted or new contracts
I think its all been pre recorded and no baring on list management, and just releasing them to the fans given there is not much else going on.

It would just seem really insensitive from the the clubs media team to releases clips patting themselves on the back they gave Sullivan a a chance after 8 drafts and Bytel and Long chances after they got delisted only for all three to end up delisted.

It would be. If that were to occur, maybe they probably should have thought through it properly and released them post debut.

That's why I initially thought they must be going to be retained when I saw these posts.

If any of them are being delisted, I really hope they've been told prior to these posts. Might have got their hopes up 😕
 
I watched parts of the Melbourne game again literally yesterday, and Ed was very promising.

We do need to keep him in the centre square this year for his development as it is clear to me that that is where he plays his best. I'd like to think he breaks into the senior side by mid year as a rotating inside mid and holds his spot.

Forgive my cynicism- but another ‘superstar’ entering his third year at the Pies, after two AFL games?

I’m still burnt by the high expectations surrounding Macrae, and dare I say it, Reef. I really hope the hype is justified this time, and I agree that Allan looked the goods in his late game for us in ‘24. And it’s a good thing that he’s earning the praise of a God-like creature in Naicos.

But geez we’ve been down this path before….

Ed getting nothing like what Fin got last year

Everyone was Raving about him and made him sound like a Certinty to have a Break out Year in 2024

Some people are saying that about Allan this Pre-Season

I don't pay much Attention to that until I see them playing Games

Nick Daicos obviously thinks Ed can be something special, stating his potential is unbelievable and he thinks he can be a superstar.
Apologies if this has been already posted.

I’ve heard that Sidey feels the same. Hoping that he builds confidence from his last game.
Sidey is also a big fan of Roo!
 
I understand the hype around Ed, because he appears to have all the attributes to succeed.
I hope the hype turns into reality.
One player who seems to fly under the radar, but doesn't look out of place in the team is Wil Parker. There's nothing flash about him, but I figure he can carve out a spot for himself and play a consistent role.

Everyone was saying the same about Fin a few years ago but in Fat Jesus I trust

I'm no expert at this Manic but you can just tell this kid will be a star. He had around 3 assists against Melbourne and a goal. Fast once he has the ball.
My Western Australian friends were all livid when we got him.
Held back because of growth spurt back pains.

How was he held back? He played a full season in the VFL didn't he?
