Wow, along with Clarke, how good does it get? And with Wellingham, Reid and Dawes all highly rated also, and there's Dick, we've already seen what he's capable of, geez, we've only just scratched the surface. Thomas, Pendlebury, Cloke and let's not forget Rusling and Egan on the sidelines who are also potentially very good players.
Hey I could be biased here but seriously, has there ever been an unearthing of such talent this magnitude in one season by any club?

Very impressive, I'm really happy for the kid and thought he was fantastic on Sat. night with his run, hardness and commitment.

Taking down Micky O, no matter how fit the latter is or what stage of his long career, it is a great effort for a fourth gamer.

Great game by moneybags! Keep up the good work.

Has a cool head under pressure and totally shut O'Loughlin down, I think micky is on the way out physically, but still a great effort Tyson!

yer and unfortunately that seems to be the way it works. Grey kicked 4 or 5 goals i think all in the first half against Essendon, and Westhoff backed up a very very impressive debut.

Clarke was brilliant, but Goldsack's role in the team was a lot more crucial than Clarke's. The rising star usually is a consistency thing where a player has to play good a few weeks straight to earn a nomination.....otherwise they have to play one game that gets people talking.

Unfortunately it seems to be the media who decides who should get nominated. If a commentator or journalist makes a comment about who will get the nomination....then that player will usually get it. Thats what you get when journalist's have a vote in the winner.

But all in all, Clarke's debut was fantastic, and he is deserving as he comes from a non-football background and has adapted so quickly. 20 possies in you first game is huge, especially against the grand finalists. In my opinion but, Goldsacks game on O'Loughlin was far more crucial. Defenders never get accolades.

This kid is going to be one very solid defender for us. Great composure, skills and courage. Now I see why he was touted as a possible replacement for Clemo one day.

What I like about players like Goldie is that after you put their names on a team sheet, you can forget about them because you know they will do a job and rarely get beaten.

Cox and Goldsack, between them, have pretty much sen to it that Ryan Lonie will no longer play on the half-back line for Collingwood, nor in a pocket. And this is a darn good thing: Lonie's proper position is, and always has been, on the wing.

The way the youngsters are going Tannin, it could be in the grandstand.
Hope not though, I believe Ryan can add something to the side, with those silky skills and a bit of dash he could still be a very damaging player around the wing or forward flank

I agree, Frankiboy: Lonie s going to have to really turn it on to get back into the senior side. If he can do that, great. If not, he will still be serving Collingwood well just by making whoever is in front of him fight to keep his gurnsey every week.
