And what a player he wasLazza wrote:A few years ago, a young magpie named Dawes missed a fair bit of his first season and ended up being a premiership player....Wokko wrote:A young up and coming Ruckman by the name of Brodie Grundy missed a huge whack of football as well. Cemented the number 1 ruck spot by the end of the year. I wouldn't be worried about Scharenberg just yet. You don't often draft a ready to go player that high in the draft.

Highly and consistently rated.Beast wrote:Rated him the second best player in the draft behind Boyd so wouldn't care if he misses the whole season. He is an absolute beauty so the wait will be worth it.
And then we gave him the arse after 1 poor season, and have spent the last 2 draft trying to find a replacement from bits and pieces 2nd rounders.Lazza wrote:A few years ago, a young magpie named Dawes missed a fair bit of his first season and ended up being a premiership player....Wokko wrote:A young up and coming Ruckman by the name of Brodie Grundy missed a huge whack of football as well.

^^^ See, this is why I like Beast's posts - he has his beef or two with the Club about how certain things are going but he isn't thoroughgoingly negative about everything Collingwood does. Some of the rest of you could take a leaf out of his book.Beast wrote:Rated him the second best player in the draft behind Boyd so wouldn't care if he misses the whole season.

That was said about Grundy Last Year and Looked what he DeliveredPies4shaw wrote:He's still listed as "indefinite" on the Club's official injury report as of yesterday afternoon. Given what is inevitably going to be a late, slow and careful start (at best) to his playing career, I don't expect to see him make any starts at senior level this year.

Spoke to him at the Season's launch 2-3 weeks ago. He seems a fine young man btw. He told me that he expected to be playing VFL footy by the mid May.Pies4shaw wrote:He's still listed as "indefinite" on the Club's official injury report as of yesterday afternoon.

Yet another member who wants to complain with nothing positive to say, such as who they believe we should have picked.

I hope we haven't stuffed it.
