That post belongs on the Feedback board.

The best thing to do with this thread is delete it.

I find the use of peoples real names in relation to posts they have made under an alias offensive.

Very ordinary form Rosy!

I thought the original question was fair. I had heard Andy played a bit as a back pocket as a junior or for Couburg. If this is true he could be a possibility to replace Jake King?

Why would a club president go and post this on a forum? :

I would ask the same question?
Very ordinary I reckon

May have been asked why he wasn't playing and wanted the reason known

i wonder if ac is still being hidden. its a real shame this kid has not been given some games. lots of things never really change at richmond.

but no wait theres a teeny weeny chance that an overachieving team may make finals, it just wouldnt do to further the development of a promising player best we forget about that part of our jobs.

For a bloke in WA, you sure know a bit about Coburg Reserves...................... ;D

Is there any chance that the club may delist Collins and then rookie him and elevate him straight away?

Why bother, I hear you ask? I don't think we'll delist that many which will really upset some on here.

This is fraught with danger as Freo were intending to do this with Collard before we snaffled him.

If so playing him in the reserves would keep him somewhat hidden away from other clubs.

He would obviously come straight back onto the senior list as Pettifer and Polak will be on the LTIL.

How many do we have to delist at years end? I can't see us delisting any more than the minimum.

The only certainties I can see going are Tiv and Hyde and maybe Graham who shouldn't have been elevated.

I was having a look around the other Richmond forums a couple of weeks ago and was interested to see Coburg President Lil Priest, albeit using her alias on the forum she's an admin on, post that Collins had deliberately been held back to play in the Coburg 2s. The gist was that it was in case he was needed at Richmond because he was to be the one selected if there was a late change. He was named as an emergency that week and I'm not sure but I think it's the game Jacko came in as the late change.

It's interesting that Andrew isn't named in the Coburg 1s again this week. Is he being hidden away or isn't he ready yet?

What role would Andrew play at Richmond? If he was as close to selection as Lil says, and being named as emergency indicates, would he be a suitable inclusion if Kingy misses a game? I haven't seen him play and don't know what his assets and style of play is like.

Thanks Rosy.

For a minute there I thought we were going to get the real reason behind Coburg coach Andy collins leaving Coburg for SA.

If we want to go down that path of delisting a kid and hopefully picking him up again as a rookie i would go with either Meyer[Hip problems] or Casserly[soft tissue issues].I doubt either of those 2 would be on anyone else,s radar.In particular Casserly.

Yeah, good point, I forgot about Casserly.
Meyer could be risky though as Hawthorn were sniffing around last year.

Give it a rest Claw. Andy looks like a real prospect but is still too slight. He is dangerous forward, good above his head , tall for a mid (about 186 cm) and has that time on the ball and good vision needed to be an inside outside mid. However even when he does everything right he still gets knocked off the ball or smashed in close at times. He's s tough kid though who likes it tough. he is getting full games as a mid at Coburg which he wont get in the firsts and that is the best development for him now. When he plays's firsts he should be part of the midfield rotations. I get the feeling that if he puts on 7- 10 kilos he will be that Lenny Hayes type mid that has been suggested by some.

Is looking better than Cogs at Coburg ATM so future is bright!

Just enough to have a pop at the club. It's like fruit and veg, he needs five a day.

Pretty sure that's not the case, when a player is delisted by a club with the intention to rookie him then the player doesn't train with another club. He still ended up as a rookie, so there was no gain for him in trainin elsewhere and given his fitness it was unlikely to be anything else.
