Apparently he's training in the rehab group

Bit laughable keeping this guy imo

B cat rookie is a free player pretty much.

Outside of the player list

Wouldn't hurt to have a Cat B rookie that plays more than 4 games every 5 years.

Cat B rookies still included in total list size as far as I understand. That’s why we were full by retaining colina.

Great to see Richmond keep our "special" interest player on the list.

He's doing so well.
He was able to tie his shoe laces unassisted for the first time last week. 

It's a fantastic achievement from Mate and I think he deserves another extension.

Waste of resources

Did his right shoulder in the last quarter. So probably has played his last game for us.

I personally think we should do all we can to keep the Mate Colina healthcare (#MateCare) going for as long as possible. God only knows what else he may need from us, new hips?, new shoulders?, new spine?, new ankles?, coordination?, ball skill?,

I hope we don't jump ship and leave him to fend for himself.
I mean has he ever taken a mark? Let's get him over the line!
Maybe we need to provide him an occupation therapist to help him do what we all take for granted.

Let's not abandon him.

The club has been absolutely kidding themselves on this guy for years now.

Understand taking a punt on listing people with non footy backgrounds, I mean that’s almost the entire point of the Cat B list, but this guy has shown no signs of improvement and no signs that he could ever make it in the local leagues let alone at AFL level.

I don’t care if it’s Cat B, Cat A or the primary list, keeping him on the list for this many years is just awful list management.
