First rule to be adhered too is if your disposal is poor you do not play, So Alan Toovey needs to be replaced in our best 22, I know a lot of supporters will be horrified and I know he is one of our best one on one players but he is our worst kick, if you beat your opponent and give it straight back to the opposition it is pointless, Hawthorn would not have him in their side. I would also replace N Brown I know everyone says we need someone to play on the gorillas but he gets beaten far to often in one on one marking contests inside fifty and his kicking is also poor, he gives us no drive out of the backline at all, when frost Keefe and Reid are back I think we are far better of with them. |

Yep, we are just going to drop our only 2 defensive leaders because they are apparently bad kicks.
Next. |

Brown defence has been poor since 2010 and he not one of our 2 best defenders, and yes Tooves kicking is that bad

Nothing "apparently" about Toovey being a bad kick. _________________ kill for collingwood! |

Every year round this time we get all the doom and gloom regarding how we lost a practice game. And the proper season still hasn't started yet. _________________ I HATE CARLTON |

Not saying I agree with the premise but to be fair to the OP, Toovey's kicking skills have been an issue for quite a while now. _________________ kill for collingwood! |

The people complaining now would have been talking up top 4 after the Hawthorn win.
Yet here we are in preseason.

The Hawks have spent the last decade picking only players who have elite foot skills. Hence, their efficiency of foot is superior to us. These foot skills have not been a priority come trade period to us. Other factors have influenced Hine and Co. So we can't complain, but is Hine above criticism about this policy? _________________ we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest. |

Hine is to blame, he's the one who picked most of these small unskilled hacks, but in Hkme we trust I hear lol. _________________ Defender...........

Broomhead, Scharenberg, Langdon, DeGoey, Maynard, Abbott and Manteit we're all drafted as players with superior foot skills. Even Kennedy and Ramsay were said to be good users by foot, so you can't say it hasn't been a focus. _________________ kill for collingwood! |
