    So Woofers - is Sam Collins good? I think he is late 20’s in age. If we land him do we also try for Tomlinson too, or is it one or the other?

    Granted I haven’t seen him in 18 months. But if still playing to the level he was. Hell yes.

    Liam Jones & Collins can shot down and are great marks. Keath goes back to intercepting like his near AA season before we got him.

    I’d have to start watching footy again.

    Collins is a pretty good shutdown defender, a touch slow but if we fix up our pressure up the ground then he'd be really good in our defence.

    Was he the guy who comprehensively shut down Naughton (albeit with some questionable tactics)?

    Yes - he's a good 1v1 defender (unsure if supported by stats). I think he would be helpful for our system.

    In the 2nd half after getting torched early on.
    He has his limitations but he's a competitor.

    Re: List Management thread (For 2022)

    Collins bragging about his “complete defensive performance” on Naughton after a loss makes me kinda think he’s a wanker but he’s a big upgrade on our current stocks. He’s maybe a little slow but excels one on one.

    Surprised to read Collins is only 194cm. He plays taller and seems a capable one on one defender. An upgrade from Cordy. If we can land him and Jones it gives us options down back. Not world beaters but players that can do a job.

    Keen to see us land some leg speed for our midfield. That is critical.

    Agree. He was putrid this year playing mostly in the 2's after a year out with the knee. We don't need another list clogger.

    If I beat Naughton in anything football related I'd be bragging too.
    I prefer players confident enough to speak their mind.

    Backline
    Tomlinson 193cm
    Collins 194cm
    Cordy 195cm
    Tim O'Brien 192cm

    Midfield
    The Bont 193cm


    See something wrong here?

    I am sorry, but we need a young tall CHB. We are we looking at these blokes all 28 plus years old, plus we are bringing in Jones who is 31 years old.

    You really can both praise and ridicule a player in one statement.
