I was a fan of his leadership early on. "Get your hands up and set up the zone!"

Anyone with the surname Mc.... Should be automaticallly blacklisted from being drafted by the club based on previous history.

Need I say?

McDonald, McGuane, McMahon, McKee, McQueen...

Bloody Scots
Don't forget McPettifer, Mc Wallace, McHyde, Mc Oakley-Nicholls, Mc Tambling, Mc Etc.

I hate Mc Etc

Didn't mind him until his 4th season :banghead

Fair enough. It's when people label him a 'gun' that gets my goat
:lol

Back line is too small and not enough depth, we need at least two Mal Michael size players

Just for your info WAT, when Mal Michael was drafted he was 65kgs and when he went to Brisbane in 2001 (aged 24) he was 85kgs.  We should keep this in mind before we discard our improving kids to the scrapheap and demand a draft of a "Michael" size.  Our growing kids are showing just as much potential as Michael did in his early days.

65kgs LMAO

Yeah, hard to believe Coach, even though I do have a memory of him being damn skinny when he first played with Collingwood.

Looked very timid didn't he. Remember his debut kid and I thought what a waste was this kid. Thought at the time it was a Collingwood stunt to alleviate the racist taunts thrown their way by the public after the Victoria Park, Allan McCallister and Damian Monkhorst incidents.

In answer to our holes I agree with Stripes.

Alipate Carlisle would have been great for us. Would not have been too expensive and a very sold citizen in the backline.

Need another one or two quality midfielders and one or both of Astbury and Griffiths to make it.

Need another ruckman too. Outside of Maric we have got squat.

Yep. We need an athletic medium forward with good hands and a reliable set shot. Someone who you can hit up on the lead all day.

Martin and Lids would fit the bill if they weren't such guns in the midfield. See to be rotating through there now though.

I really hope Elton is the answer when Miller moves aside. Astbury maybe a little small for that tall monster backman we need and Griffiths needs size and consistency on the park before we can make a judgement on his progress. I was really hoping Derickx may be that third tall at least in the intrim while we wait for Benny or Elton to progress but I haven't heard much positive rumblings about the fellow of late.

Our midfield depth needs looking at. Another couple of quality rovers would do the trick and add to our depth greatly.

Still a few holes at this stage. Trading this year will be important as every club will be looking for picks in the 'super draft'.
