Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
Training today.
Great to hear that Collo was out on the ground after his surgery. Evidently still five weeks or so away from playing. They won't take any chances as 10-12 weeks is the recovery time for such an injury. Will surely have a heavy program planned for the next month to get him ready to play.

Saw these videos of young Brett a few weeks back. For those that missed it is worth a look. Also a couple of other videos on the same channel that he pops up in.

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
Saw this on MightyHawks. Positive feedback for all the boys.
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2007 10:48 am Post subject: 
kids had a great time, rides, games, player signings, junk food
Cost me a small fortune
on top of that i forgot to bring my membership cards so coughed up for entry, and carting the kids out of the ground for the loo, and then back in again was a bit frustrating!! But a good day was had all the same
Big thankyou to Brett Collins and young Renouf for playing volleyball with my 5 year old, he was stoked and they will forever have a huuuuge fan in my boy
All in all the players were excellent with the kids on what wouldnt be there favourite day i would imagine

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
We have seen little of Brett so far but time to remind everyone that we still have one more player to be seen at Box Hill. Found these on a 'Mighty Hawks Thread' on Collo. Can't be far away from joining Box Hill.

Has the best footskills in the draft pool. Is a ripper of a smokey, as John Beveridge the recruiting manager for St Kilda's, son Luke, coaches St Bedes seniors, where Brett kicked 7 in one game.

Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 1:03 pm Post subject: Collins is your classic Half Forward (probably 6'1'' in the old scale) with all the marking and kicking skills required to make it. I have seen him play and whilst he chose not to join the TAC, he was probably the best player at Haileybury College and at St Bedes OC (whilst this is C grade ammos) he was dominant. Evidently Josh Kennedy who played against him at Xavier was sounded out and he indicated Collins was the best player not drafted at that private school level. The Saints would have taken him with their first pick. A very good selection by the Hawks and exactly the type of player you would rookie as he has tremendous upside to his game once in a total AFL environment. Could be anything.
Thats my take on it.
Over and out
That's a good write-up and he was definately one of the better players at AFL level (wouldn't take any notice of his ammos form, the standard he played was extremely poor).
Can tell you though, that the Saints wouldn't have picked him before their 3rd pick. But his footskills are damn good.

Two independent sources have stated that Brett Collins playing style is very simlilar to James Hird. This is based on his freakish kicking skills, ability to take a great mark and dominant a game as if he has a ball on a string.
The fact he didnt play in the TAC Cup and played private school footy is one of the main reasons he didnt attract a lot of interset. He definately would have been taken by StKilda if we didnt take him at Pick 6. Was coached by StKilda's recruiting managers son at St Bedes. Currently weighs 72kg(186cm tall) so obviously he needs to add some muscle before he is AFL ready.
Thank Josh Kennedy who passed on the information to the Hawks, as he played against him and mentioned how good this kid was at the game.
Wait and see.

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
Played his first game last Saturday with Box Hill twos. Kicked three and certainly showed a glimpse of how he plays. Did not play a full game. Came on for half of each quarter.

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
From what I have seen Collo has had limited game time over the past four weeks. First outing was in the best with 17 possessions and 3 goals in half a game. Pulled up sore though after the game with his foot and appears to be hampered as he is yet to play a full game. Last week did not come out after 1/2 time after being the BHHs only dangerous forward in the second quarter. The limited time I have seen him he has shown flashes of class. Even half fit and with limited game time see him as being more dangerous up forward than some others in Box Hill Hawks ones. Seems to have time with the ball and the ability to make room for himself.

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
Agree with that, still 17, and a good pre-season with an A.F.L club will be quite handy, as he didn't participate in the pre-season just gone due to his foot which he has re-injured.

Collo entered hospital today for a second operation on his foot. Apparently his foot was sore after the first game. Fracture has reappeared.

Brett Collins was at training today, on crutches with his foot heavily bandaged. He said he is out for 10 weeks, effectively ending his 2007 season but leaving him ready to start the 2008 season.

Re: Rookie: Brett Collins
I'm 100% certain I would if I was in charge, but...... I believe so, I hope so.
I also think technically he has a 2 year contract as a rookie but clubs have often broken that contract, including Hawthorn.

Rusty any word on young collo after his second major injury this year. Played with him in a premiership at St Bedes and it couldnt have been a worse start for him with 2 ops on his foot so far. Will the club persist or cut it ties.
