Short and sweet and couldn't agree more mate! I can remember North mates laughing about Leigh Brown going to Collingwood and saying how crappola he was. That turned out incorrect. Also a mate from Fremantle years ago saying "he's very average, you can have him" when referring to Jimmy Clement. Wrong again. I was bemused early on about the idea of taking big Dan McStay but something in my gut says he's going to turn out all right for the Pies. Let's hope so.mattdally wrote:Who cares what he does for the Lions.
Let's judge his performances next year if he is wearing a Pies jumper.
Billy Picken, the great No. 25 in the sky!
WHE is a brilliantly-skilled player. He would command a spot in any team. The other two are both determined players who do their very best, every week. Neither, though, would get a game if there were a viable alternative at their position. There's no indication watching McStay that he is in the WHE category - we just have to hope that he isn't really as hopeless as he usually looks.Charlie Oneeye wrote:Like many here, my concern is the contract length.
But lining up tonight are Noble, Cox,WHE.
2 different professional coaching regimes are agreeing on selections which many pundits were blaming the previous inept coaching group.
The moral of the story is, give people a chance if they are selected. We can be wrong.

I once thought maybe Noble would make way for Nick Daicos. I was wrong.
The next 'name' to put up in lights is not selected because these guys are keeping their spot.
One day you will be right.
But not today Maverick lol

I very much doubt that he will hit the dizzy heights of Jason WildMr Miyagi wrote:Leon Davis is making a comeback, according to Pies4shawinxs88 wrote:Dan McStay is in line to be the biggest whipping boy who's yet to even play a game.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm
I still have nightmares about him playing in Grand Finals - he was possibly the worst performed finals player of all time. I do not understand why people defend him.Mr Miyagi wrote:Leon Davis is making a comeback, according to Pies4shawinxs88 wrote:Dan McStay is in line to be the biggest whipping boy who's yet to even play a game.

Not true. Leon Davis peaked as a player between 2006-08 when we weren’t competing in grand finals. By 2010 he was on the down. Then they converted him into a back pocket which misfired in the 2011 GF. If they had played him in the Isaac Quaynor role for longer in his career it would have worked out fine. Remember he won a final against Port Adelaide off his own boot. Leon Davis on his day could play as well as anybody in a final. Just never worked out for him in grand finals because in the main they happened either too early or too late in his career. I can think of worse players for us than Leon Davis in finals.
