Collingwood 2010 Draft Wrap. Ben Reid was another player who divided opinion amongst Collingwood fans after some admittedly interesting forays as a forward in the seniors. Welcome to my blog! A little creative lesson planning and scheduling and we are not missing a beat. Dane Swan was his usual workhorse self, whilst Luke Ball continues to win over the faithful with his tenacious approach. It is already evident that the team are looking to use Reid’s raking left foot to mount a lot of our attacks from defence. Whilst quite a few of our players underperformed, I don’t know how much solace we can take from this line of thinking given that St. Kilda’s dominance did play a part in the output of our players.

Pendlebury was class personified with everything he touched whilst Chris Dawes kicked a goal every quarter and took some strong contested marks; including clunking one very good overhead mark in the last that was sure to inspire optimism in every Collingwood supporter. Stay home. This was a huge acquisition for the Pies, as we finally grasped the opportunity to adequately address our issues in the ruck department by adding not only a strong bodied ruckman to our list, but also one who would be considered within the very top echelon of ruckman currently in the league. After having a mid-season purple patch which saw us win 12 out of 13 games from round 9 onwards, we were provided with a new form of hope. If we are to be successful in 2010, it will be a mixture of improvement from the old and a successful assimilation from the new that will get us over the line. Ross Lyon had stated heading into the draft that we would find out Ball’s true market value, implying that his decision not to accept any of the combinations offered by Collingwood would be justified. So proud of you Abbi! A lot will be made of the inclusion of Rocca, but personally I feel that it was inconsequential given the way the game played out. Saturday night saw a different Ben Reid, whilst the week before he collected a lot of the ball, against Sydney he impressed in a more traditionally defensive manner. Leon Davis had yet another one of those nights, but I can’t fault his work when not in possession – which at the moment is a majority of the time – as his defensive work up forward has been excellent..  It’s just not coming together for Leon and he is struggling to get clean ball up forward, which prompts me to think that it might be worth letting Leon move further up the field, even letting him push down back to mop-up just so he can get a taste. [Match Review] Round 14: Collingwood Vs. West Coast, [Match Review] Round 13: Collingwood Vs. Sydney. 1 day. After a productive and promising 2009 in a new defensive role at VFL level, Reid is likely to be given more senior opportunity in defence this year; making 2010 his most important year thus far in terms of development. We had gone someway towards breaking the trend that emerged in previous seasons; a trend which saw us habitually drop winnable games to inferior opposition. Thomas has certainly taken another step this year, an achievement which we should refrain from attaching a relieved “finally” to; because quite frankly, I think most Collingwood supporters could see it coming. Collingwood, whilst having an excellent run in the second half of the year, still finished 5 games adrift from St. Kilda and yesterday that gap was on display. 2010 was a year where I regretfully was unable to maintain this site with regular updates like I had wished and as luck would have it, it was the most memorable year that the Collingwood faithful have had since 1990. That pretty much brings us up to speed so far in the off-season. What do I do?

Floreat Pica! You always have so much enthusiasm and drive to master and perfect everything you do. Leroy worked hard as usual and showed some very good signs by capitalising on his opportunities with straight kicking.

Marty Clarke and Kevin Dyas both returned to Ireland at the conclusion of the 2009 season, much to the disappointment of Collingwood fans. Jolly then went back and casually executed the perfect checkside punt, notching up his fourth and final goal. Harry has had a mixed bag of a season so far, but looks to be settling and returning to some of his pre-season form that caused many to believe he was destined for AA honours.

Blair laid 5 tackles and gathered 16 possessions, with half of them falling under the contested category. What Leroy brings to the table is a taste for the contest and a genuine willingness to scrap for every touch and impose himself physically wherever possible, the sort of tenacity that Fraser and Wood appear to lack on a reasonably frequent basis. What panned out was disappointing, but not without some consolatory elation. Jolly’s match reached its apex at the very last second of the third quarter, when in the ultimate act of adding insult to injury, Jolly stood on the head of the highlight reel’s favourite subject Naitanui, taking the mark of the night. For whatever reason, we didn’t apply the sort of pressure that finals football requires and in many ways played right into St. Kilda’s hands. Heath Shaw amassed a lot of the ball and provided a lot of run, whilst Prestigiacomo was Prestigiacomo; which of course means his opponent was missing in action. Whilst Brown has struggled off and on since that first season, he is still only 21 years old and it takes plenty of time and experience before key position players – particularly key defenders – find their feet. Dale became a marketable face and also an easy target when he was climbing on player’s heads and bouncing them in from the boundary every so often, but it is this sort of flash that we truly love and are beginning to see a lot more of. Whilst Beams stats were moderate on paper, it was the influence and composure that he displayed that was most impressive. Heath Shaw was our best ball-winner and spent a bit of time being played through the midfield.

On the bright side, it was the move of Blair onto Priddis in the second half which went a long way to nullifying West Coast out of the centre.

In a game where we were smashed out of the middle, Maxwell played a flawless game down back and looked to be one of only a few players who realised the finals had arrived and wanted to be accountable for our fortunes.

It would seem that the coaches were rightfully miffed and either made the call and let Shannon exit with some dignity on his terms or gave him an ultimatum that he simply wasn’t up to. At 22 years old, Buckley still has his best football ahead of him and it will be interesting to see where he stands in our defensive hierarchy considering the depth of flankers we already possess. Saturday night saw the Magpies take on the witches hats from the west, a four quarter formality that resulted in an 83 point drubbing. With the trade and draft period nearing an end, below are some articles covering some of the happenings at Collingwood since we raised the cup on the first Saturday in October. Sinclair projects as a project very similar to Luke Rounds as we look to address our lack of genuine pace throughout the middle of the ground and coming out of defence. Abigail shows so much determination and perseverance every week when she comes to piano. Saturday night went a long way to easing our minds on that front, as Reid got the better of both Jesse White and Mumford when he was rested forward – two players who have a distinct size advantage. Here’s how! Driving Instructor News Blog 9; ABOUT US. His performance in the 2002 Grand Final was one of his most memorable in my mind with Rocca shining on the biggest of occasions in conditions that did not suit gorilla forwards. It wasn’t just his competence in one-on-one situations, but he left his man smartly and had an impact every time he did, displaying sure hands on more than one occasion. DVSA to Launch a Driving Test App For Examiners. This is to inform you that the studio will be closing and implementing social distancing procedures effective March 16. There is no shame in that of course, but it did need to be addressed. Not much can be said about Thoolen, during his two years at Collingwood he didn’t make much progress and he was always going to be fodder once 2009 was wrapped up. We experimented a bit with our midfield on the night and with two major additions in Jolly and Ball, a little time is required before the chemistry completely comes together. In the wash-up, there were plenty of good signs against St. Kilda and from what we’ve all heard so far, some more positives coming out of our match in Alice Springs — none as positive as the fact that we incurred no injuries. He managed to kick two goals and did all the things that many uninformed observers claim are foreign to him. I’m not going to go in depth on anything that transpired this year — not yet anyway. I’m still unsure as to how the move of Shaw to the midfield will play out, but he ran hard and carried the ball well as usual and there is definite merit in further exploring the scope of players with the talent of Shaw and O’Brien. During the 2009 trade period, our prayers were answered when we acquired the services of Darren Jolly – a ruckman who is more than just a big body, but one of the very best players in his position. Ben Reid and Dale Thomas were impressive again, whilst Wellingham continues to find his touch. Ben Sinclair is an extremely light dasher who also possesses a fair share of courage from all reports. Chris Dawes returned to the side and seemed to straighten up our forward structure. There hasn’t been much talk about prospects we might be looking at and our permission to train list contains no new faces, but with the majority of our squad currently over in Arizona that is to be expected. Landing Jolly helped ease the disappointment of initially missing out on Ball, despite our best efforts to come to the party. Leigh Brown provided adequate back-up whilst also having an impact around the ground. This is ideal for tethered swimming, or for …
