News Welcome to Carlton - Andrew Collins

[Blue and Silver]

Justin Cordy got a call Saturday morning:

"187cm 78kg, forward: what can you do?"

"Anything you want"

 

[Gouldy]

Just spoke to him on the phone then. He's pumped! He told me what number he's getting as well

 

[Blue and Silver]

Tell! Tell!

 

[TNBT]

I'm guessing it's either 16, 25, 34 or 39?

 

[Team Mo']

16, 25 or 28?

 

[BigCountryBlue]

What number was Peter Francis? 47? Would be nice.

 

[TNBT]

16, 25 or 28?

Jaryd Cachia is listed at #28.

 

[Aphrodite]

I'm guessing it's either 16, 25, 34 or 39?

Dylan Buckley will get 16

 

[Ciccio]

Doubt it will be 16 since young Dylan Buckley will be joining the club next year and I am assuming he may want to take his dads old number.

Collins comes across as a ripping kid in the interview on CFC TV.

A skinny frame didn't stop Lappin from being a star.

I'm assuming you believe Fisher will be de-listed then?

I believe he will be.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Don't think we offered him a new contract, so yes Fisher to be delisted

Recruiting a medium forward would lend itself to this. .. Just like the medium utility is possibly to help replace The Blue Wiggle and Grigga. ..

 

[Aphrodite]

I love this kid already .............

"It's going to be a real priveledge to play in the Navy Blue"

Me too BB

Well spoken young guy & looking forward to seeing him in the navy Blue next year.


Suck eggs Grigga

 

[pumped]

That would have to be the plan.

I'm not quite sure whether or not Collins is AFL best-22 quality in the long term but at the very least he'll make a very handy depth player. Has to be considered a big win for the club considering the circumstances.

I think Grigg has more potential than Collins but it's not always about potential - Collins has the level-headed maturity that a club needs. Is an inspiring type of guy who you never have to question whether or not he leaves it all out on the field. Quite possibly the polar opposite of what we're losing in Grigg.

Anybody remember Matty Lloyd's tale about Collins?

Agree. Carlton has plenty of talent but has lacked in the emotional maturity aspects. If Collins is level headed his inclusion may be more beneficial than what on the surface may seem apparent.

 

[Stamos]

My brother played with him 3 years ago. Thought he was an average player (he must have been tiny then), but said he was a great bloke.

 

[Kramer1]

Not cool bro...don't hate on the hand grenade high five goal celebrations

 

[blueblood25]

Collins > Grug.

 

[Mister Carlton]

I believe he will be.

I believe he will also.
