McMahon isn't good enough. Kelly hasn't shown enough yet and probably only has a year left to prove himself.MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:FWIW I don't think Frampton has anything to do with Grundy staying or leaving. It's common knowledge that our list is deficient of tall forwards and defenders. I hope McMahon and Kelly get new contracts because those two are about all we have coming through on the list. Charlie Dean is recovering from a serious foot injury and Begg is too raw to have any real prospects of regular football in the next two years. Frampton has been slowly developing in the two Adelaide teams, but hasn't done enough to get a regular game. However at 25 his best football is ahead of him if he can stay on a senior list and Collingwood is one of the few teams in need of big men. I haven't a clue whether he's a forward or a defender from the little I've seen of him. I'm guessing they're looking him as a potential tall defender. At this point of time it's all speculation. McStay is the only one we have locked in for 2023.Boot wrote:I'm glad you understand why we want him, because I just don't get the excitment, or the size of the reported salary he has signed on for. As I have postulated on elsewhere on this forum, the forwards already at Collingwood in Mihocek, Johnson, Darcy Cameron and Henry I rate as being better options up forward to Dan McStay. Hence I'm guessing that Collingwood see him as a potential replacement for Roughead as the backman to compete with the opposition gorilla forwards and so release Darcy Moore to be a more attacking option off the halfback line than on the full back line. I see that as more likely than a reincarnation of the Leigh Brown role, although I know Fly McRae did say he frets about who could replace Mihocek if he is injured.themonk wrote: Buddy?
I understand why we want him though
That said last night's game by McStay was the best game he has played this year but I suspect that is because its a lot easier to play a roving ruckman's role than as a key forward.
If McStay is a definite recruit to Collingwood then I struggle to see the attraction of Port Adelaide's Frampton? I suspect that Collingwood's apparent interest in Frampton is more due to the likely departure of Brody Grundy from the club for reason's I just can't fathom.

Not a ruckman but can be used as last resort.
Only weakness is lack of pace.

You’ll have forgive my ignorance but I have no clue what the “buddy?” thing is all about. Merely pointing out some info that people may have found interesting.

Delisted alongside Jackson Callow. Remember everyone was disappointed that the Hawks took him right before our next pick. (We took Aiden Begg).Johnno75 wrote:Tom Phillips dumped by Hawks, some of the boys down at the pub say he wants to cone back to Collingwood…..we are now a destination club.
How'd Callow end up going for Box Hill?
As for Phillips, well he wasn't great for Hawthorn with only 4 games this year. I can almost picture Collingwood taking him back in the rookie draft. I dont think he fills a need on the list though.
