Andrew Collins

Delisted again by Carlton.

Doubt he'll get re-listed by them a second time.


Would you guys pick him up again?


I liked him as a player. Very fond memory of the game against Sydney at the MCG when Collins was concussed then came back on in the last quarter to jag the two match winning goals. Thought he was brave/tough but not exactly hardened. Good skills too IMO, lots of poise.

In fairness he did contribute to our team while he was here. Even so, he was told that his position in the team could not be guaranteed when he left.

Maybe that was just spin so we could convince him to go and pick up Grigg but I suspect he was seen as a bit limited.

Dimma has never coached him either so he wont have any fond memories.

Collo wont be back.

Think he be a better player like many of them,  If they had better coaches than Leatherskin, Royal, Rawlings, & god help me forget the others who damaged the club & the players including some of the medical staff.

think he has done very well to stay in the system for 7 years so he did have something to offer.

I thought Collins was a good contributor for us.

He didn't do well at Carlton. I think the trade upset him and he didn't look all that happy over there.


Definitely worth picking up as a rookie IMO. And he was certainly tougher/braver than Grigg.
