Player Watch Jordan Roughead

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

I suspect we were trying to give them the pick in the 50s that we gave to Brisbane.

or the pick in the 50s we didn't give to Brisbane and get some points back.

I suspect we were trying to give them the pick in the 50s that we gave to Brisbane.

But that wouldn't make sense. If we were willing to lose a 3rd rounder we would've just signed him as a free agent. The reason I suspect we didn't was because that would nullify the Fas compo pick.

Good will, plus we'll probably only take 4 vacancies and therefore 4 picks into the draft.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Welcome, Jordan!
I like this one - a guy who has proven he can play, and very cheap.
Matty Boyd will know how to get best out of him too, i'm betting. Between him and a fit Moore our tall stocks are looking much better.

 

[Kadog]

A tall utility guy for pick 75! Low risk high reward. Really like this trade.

Welcome to Collingwood, Roughy.

 

[ManOfClay]

Sad to see him go. By all reports rough was one of the key players to rally the troops post the 2014 drama.


Sadly we just couldn’t see him as our first ruck anymore and the rest of his game was faltering.

Change of environment has every chance of changing that.

Will always remember his insane 2016 elim final goal on the run from outside 50 (taking a contested mark then playing on and banging it through) against the eagles and his mark in the 2016 grand final from the kick in after JJ’s goal was overturned. The eagles moment perhaps didn’t count as much because we were in control but that grand final mark eased the nerves after that score review put huge doubt in a lot of minds

 

[ManOfClay]

Lol that goal v the eagles in the final isn’t even in his highlights package on the Collingwood site. It’d be in anybody’s.


4.43 mark:

 

[Matt_352]

Nothing exciting, we haven’t improved our key position. 22 at all. We better hope Moore stays fit next year

Give him a chance.

 

[Matt_352]

Met him few years ago, class act.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Welcome.

Nice spare parts.
Cost nothing.

Adds depth and decency to the group.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Don't mind this at all

 

[ant22]

My old boss who is a mad bulldogs supporter and has been involved with the dogs for years has been his player sponser. She hates the pies but loves roughie so much she said she will continue to sponsor him at the pies. According to her he is about as good a young man as you could find anywhere.

 

[BEEG]

Smart pick up shown he can hack it at AFL level when fit

 

[The Night]

This is awesome, we now have a Rough head, a Gold sack, a Side bottom and a big Cox, if Dickie Knee decides to make a comeback, we have to get him.

You've got 20 minutes until the school bell rings....get going or you'll be late

 

[gappa]

L Brown mark 2?

 

[spartan-magpie]

I have a good feeling about him, even though I know nothing about him.

But will be Dunn Mark II

I was thinking the same thing. Possible recruit of the year coming up.

 

[jackcass]

A good get for next to nothing, at a minimum, he's quality depth. Be interesting to see where he plays, defence or ruck.

 

[Crazy Tails]

Welcome to the Mighty Magpies Jordan.

Will provide much needed ruck and KPD depth. A 200cm premiership player and a good clubman to boot. Almost a free hit at pick 75.

Added bonus is that he could step in and play FB round 1 if needed; not sure many other pick 75's would be able to do that.

Astute money ball style recruitment Pies

 

[Da Main Man]

get him in the gym with Dunn, could be a monster of a bloke!

 

[Dazb86]

Good pickup for you guys. Decent back up in the ruck. He's a bit iffy in defence but serviceable as a backup.

Underrated in our grand final win. Took some great contested grabs during critical moments.

 

[J Albert]

Think he's too slow to play as a defender. Will be a good back up ruck though and will move into a coaching role post footy.

 

[Scribe26]

Brilliant business, this.

More excited about Jordan than I am about Beams from a list perspective.

Insurance for Grundy, insurance for Cox, insurance for Dunn/Moore, performs in big finals and still has 3-4 quality years left — I suspect he's going to play a lot of footy for us in a spare parts role and be a high-quality character while doing it.

 

[mikeg4]

worst case scenario for Collingwood is you have an off field leader who is a great club guy and great bloke to boot. Heavily involved in Ladder, women's football and indigenous reconciliation programs at the Dogs

 

[HeathySure]

I too am more excited about Roughead joining us than Beams. He is the perfect player for our needs. He has been able to play in the past too and only 27.
