Really disappointing to have someone on here repeatedly calling our coach Suckley! Surely the mods can get rid off him or get rid of posts from him that repeatedly disrespects our coach? I noticed Dave the Man was shut down for similar postings!
Yeah I know put him back on ignore but sometimes he might have something good to say!

Correct weight. I've got no problem with supporters who disagree with how Bucks coaches our team. Question or disagree with his coaching by all means, but this is supposed to be a site for Collingwood supporters, so personal abuse and disrespect toward one of the greatest Collingwood people of all time should not be tolerated at all. Come on Mods, ensure this is a site for Pies supporters.

Excellent Post Rudeboy.

Yep, I've followed him closely from the day he arrived at the club (is it obvious? ) and this I believe is his greatest skill. He has quite an uncanny sense of reading the play. If the spare man in defense is ever used again as a tactic, he would be your man. I reckon it more than compensates for his lack of speed (although greater agility would certainly help!!).

I think that maybe this instinct served him so well in his junior days, that he didn't need much else and since then, injuries have prevented him from developing other facets of his style, like physicality, tackling and taking the game on. Certainly, it would take someone who has suffered two consecutive knee reconstructions a bit of time to develop the confidence to twist, turn and run like hell.
I'm hoping there's still so much more to come, both for his sake and the team's.

One thing is for sure...Schaz is only getting better from here.

Has he gone AWOL?

I actually think that murray is one of the dozen or so automatic selections that we have if fit. I think that the automatics looks like this (i added Stephenson even though it might take a season before that is fully true).

Murray ____, ____
Howe, Moore, ____
Sidey, Adams, WHE
DeGoey, Reid, Elliot
____, ____, Stephenson

Grundy Pendles Treloar

____, ____, ____, ____

And there was some good elements in his backline performance. Set up a ripper from the full back / half back line involving Mayne, Shazza & Fasolo thagt stood out in the last quarter against the wind. On that occasion showed great decsion making and excellent skills by foot and hand hat I witnessed.

He's been named for Saturday's match.
