@caesar won't be happy to hear that.According to the Talking Tigers podcast Matt Clarke said despite him doing well at basketball, he'll be back at Tigerland early next year. We may need him..

He might’ve meant no Hawaiian sojourn to check on MateWhat you on about Baloo?

Exactly. No more leis for youWhat you on about Baloo?
Certainly hasn’t checked out, looks really fit and just had he highest score as a starting centre. Hopefully he can stay injury free and come back fit.Yes he pretty much said Mate Colina has already checked out mentally and is looking foward to coming to Richmond to concentrate on AFL and is excited about coming in a couple of months
When i say he has checked out i actually mean he has come to accept he is not going to make it in big time basket ball and his future is in AFL. Mathew Clarke pretty much said he is coming back and looking foward to being a Richmond playerCertainly hasn’t checked out, looks really fit and just had he highest score as a starting centre. Hopefully he can stay injury free and come back fit.
you need body strength as well. Cox has the height, and coordination, but is too easy to move. Sandilands was strong.At that height you just have to be able to stand your ground and be semi-coordinated to have an impact. Sandilands made an AFL career out of being tall.
How could they not be , 213 cm 110kgs player that comes from basketball backround that can kick both feetI get the feeling that the coaches and recruiting staff are more excited about Mate than what they're showing publicly, but are toning it down so as not to add more pressure to the kid.
Possibly completing the studies? Pretty sure Collingwood had a go at trying to get him but said he had to upstakes and come home straight away whereas we said to finish his degree first.It’s an odd situation with Mate, signed in Sept 20 but not starting with us til early ‘22.
What do you conclude from that? He just wanted to complete his college degree then come home? No desire to try play NBA?
Is he a leftyColina to be a full-time Tiger in 2022
Mate Colina will embark on his AFL career at Tigerland in 2022, when he returns to Australia.www.richmondfc.com.au
May have been said on here, but if not, he is 213 cms, which in feet and inches is 6.11.86 or just short of 7 feet tall. What a monster. Not sure of his weight.At that height you just have to be able to stand your ground and be semi-coordinated to have an impact. Sandilands made an AFL career out of being tall.
He's big. Dion comes up to about his kneecap.May have been said on here, but if not, he is 213 cms, which in feet and inches is 6.11.86 or just short of 7 feet tall. What a monster. Not sure of his weight.
He told the Tigers and Pies that he wanted to finish his studies over there before committing to footy. Pies told him it was now or never, Tigers said no prbs.It’s an odd situation with Mate, signed in Sept 20 but not starting with us til early ‘22.
