Is he the recruit of the year at Collingwood (best first year player)?

Clarke is a rookie, Pendlebury played some games last year and Cox and Dick have been in and out of the side. (Er, sorry about that!)

So unless someone plays a blinder in the rest of the season, Tyson will join such illustrious champs as Picken, Barham, Wright, Francis and Russell as best first year player.

The Sack really impresses me. He times his runs to hit a pack beautifully
I think we might have Hawthorns modern day P Knights or our own

freak. Just kinda slipped under the radar too. A ripper and will only improve. Love the pace on the bloke and he's great overhead. Might be one of those players you could slip up forward to catch opposition off guard as well.

He's been sensational todate. A top bloke, and just as good at his footy, AND surely a deservent recipient of a Rising Star nomination this week (although two Magpie nominees in one week might be too much to ask!).

If pick 63 is this good, you tend to wonder how the likes of Dawes, Reid, Brown and Dick will rate five years down the track. Go Goldsack, #38!

Tyson is a great tackler. Really wraps his man up and brings him to ground.

I saw Tyson at the players breakfast a few weeks ago, and notice that after teh main playing group had all left, Tyson was still mingling with us fans, like he was just soaking up the atmosphere! I think he had only played one or two games at the time, and he really looked like this was what he wanted in life. Good onya mate, I love Tyson's flair, and courage to back himself.

Super impressed with this young man.
When all our defenders return Collingwood could possibly have one of the most devastating backlines in the AFL.
Clement
Goldsack
O'Brien
Maxwell
H Shaw
R Shaw
Presti
It's a fairly impressive list of talented players.

Getting better with every game and has been fantastic, incredibly brave and desperate down back.

Quick, great closing speed, decent skills, great tackler (watches and closes in on the torso and not the ball -so hard to get past).

Really delighted with his progress and has done a fantastic job as a first year player.

personally l think Goldie will keep R.Shaw out of the team.. So dash and will go in for the hard ball.

pies1973, I think Rhyce would have to be a walk up start as soon as he returns from injury. There must be a place for both him and Goldsack in defence. If not, put Shaw in the midfield.

Care to translate, Hal? My French is rather limited, lol (bon appetit?)
