Endangered Species

Just a new topic on who we think are Endangered players on our list. In other words players who if they don't improve will be gone at the end of the year. I nominate:

Patterson - for many reasons
Smith - just doesn't look up to it
Watson - tho i think he`ll lift this year
Richardson - poor guy doesn't really look to have the skills

anyone else?

You want to talk about endangered species. What about our entiire backline. Do collingwood have some kind of fear of drafting actual defenders and leaving them there. In the past 4 years our backline has been all forwards. Example
Mal: Played in the forward line in the Queensland league.
Richo: Played FF in the seconds
Presty: Drafted as a tall forward, played there in school boys league
Schubs(thank God he's gone): See Presty
And finally Anthony Rocca: Played some footy in defence last year, but once again drafted as a forward.

Our whole backline is an endangered species

Why O Why didn't we get Darren Glass in the Draft. A good HB, similair to Jackovich is exactly what we need.
