Agree 100%. The Suns v Saints game was superb. A great combination of pressure acts and fluid skill execution, the complete opposite to our game but to be fair Sydney are a drag you down team, fortunately they weren't able to drag us down too much more from where we already were.
On Dan Butler, I can't believe we didn't make a play for him, or if we did why didn't we land him. He is EXACTLY what we need, a fast, smart player who knows where the goals are. He is the pickup of the season and it really amazed me that the Tigers couldn't find a way to hold on to him, salary cap pressure probably. Our recruiting just doesn't hit the mark does it? Name me one Collingwood player you can see sprinting hard into the forward line to score a goal on the rebound? We have nobody capable of that.
RED "BABY" CAVANAUGH: Didn't hear what the bet was.
I've seen Stevo, Elliott and WHE do that I'm sure. It's a Jack Darling type we need to add to Mihocek and Cameron or Cox. A mobile, strong skilled tall.....who can kick straight.

35 was reportedly offered to Daicos in his first year, however he wanted to make his own name. In terms of getting rid of 35 going to our first draftee if it continues we’ll see Nick Daicos wearing 35 in 2022 season. Rendell says he’s a chance of being pick 1 in the 2021 draft.

I watched a bit of the Saints v Suns game and thought of even a Tim Membrey type.

^ Really appreciate your balanced observations Rudeboy
Re young Daics, the first thing I noticed about him after the summer season break was that he had really improved his muscle definition. He surely must have worked hard on the weights and has become stronger as a result. Can only get better as his body matures more.

We were going to recruit Membrey in the 2012 draft but were talked out of it by Matt Rendell who wanted Tim Broomhead which completed his 3 Adelaide players. Brodie Grundy and Ben Kennedy were the other 2.
collingwoods football dept needs to have alot more fitter players they are either not fit enough, they are cooked, their body has simply worn out and just not up to afl standard hence the injuries

Missed out big time.
As true as this may be, I’m disappointed in the process we had in place that allowed a individual decision override a combined decision among the recruiters. Surely the method of madness where the state of origin played the major role was flawed in a major way. A conversation about talent, skill, position vacancy and merit must always take precedence I would have thought.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
Madgen reminds me of Gayfer. Noble’s constant running out of the defence was Shane Morwood like. Yeah I felt the entire team preparation and attitude was different. I suppose this season such vagaries will be a constant given the travel, training, timing of games and the less playing time. Just get the job done and get out must be their game mantra for each game. For once I couldn’t care less about the style of game as long as they bloody win.

I feel with Jack Magden he is not endoured with pace and flexibility in changing direction but more towards running in one direction
Last night it was noticeable to me that once fatigue (Sydney) set in the pace of the game came back to where Jack could use his ample frame against his opponents
And with backline soldiers are dropping he will be very handy

Stephenson used to do that quite regularly in 2018,but he doesn’t do it anymore,sadly,Maybe it’s a game plan thing,or he’s just not the same player.I don’t know what the problem is.
