Funny I thought the same thing and also asked that question. Was there any reason why the club didn’t call his bluff and not accede to his request? Why continue with the practice of giving good players to other top teams instead of the case with Stephenson who will be lucky to play finals with north? Was it just poor management by us or was there a hidden reason? _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas.

He was set on playing with his brother but it looks like we didn't rate him high enough to fight for him. Maybe if we had convinced him to remain, we wouldn't have needed to get McStay (No knock on McStay intended). _________________ We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.

Sad news. One of my favourites, and certainly a player who excelled after leaving us. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Sad to hear that he's still battling ongoing concussion symptoms.
The obvious highlight of his career was his 2015 Anzac Day performance.

I'm a sucker for the romance of father / son stories at Collingwood so I'd love for Tyler Brown to come back and do another preseason at Collingwood, light it up over the pre-season then be added to the list as a last gasp pick, same as Oleg Markov did earlier this year. I'll never forget the wrap that Nathan Buckley gave Tyler as being potentially as good as Nathan Fyfe as a big bodied midfielder. At the time I was very excited about a son of the great Gavin Brown having a stellar career with the Magpies.
The reality is that once a player is delisted by two AFL clubs, his future is in the VFL or alternatively at a rich suburban club to cash in on what's left of their football career. _________________ Collingwood Domination. Envy of the Nation! |

No idea what's going on here, but it seems people think it's pretty good! So, well done to him. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |

Most punters kick what is effectively a torp off one step.
Flynn however sets of on an arc and kicks a pretty impressive drop punt considering the ball shape, and also places it close to boundary line. If it's received from there, the kick return can only run one way. |
