Farewell #21 Trey Ruscoe

Looks like the first of the delistings occurred today if Trey's insta account is accurate.

Sad, but not unexpected. Always liked Trey even when he had his critics.

Hope he gets another chance and excels elsewhere.

A shame to hear. It was strange how he played so well in his one match this season and never got another chance – it always seemed that it was only due to the strength of our defence, and that he would be a necessary depth player going forward. Hope he gets another chance elsewhere.

Speaking of Collingwood players on Instagram, I just saw this post from Charlie Dean's account – seems like all or most of the list who didn't get a premiership medallion doing a group shot on the podium after the game: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx9ugfFRucp/

Surely Trey is a trade back to West Coast. Was too good for the VFL and stuck in a strong defensive queue. Can’t fathom him being delisted otherwise

Its a shame, but I think young Kelly might join him, has not really worked out has it. Does not always work out being sons of former players, like it has so well for trhe Moores and Daiscoses, look at both the Brown boys. ?

A really good player who could get a regular game on another list, so you can't begrudge him the opportunity.

It's pretty normal to have some turnover on the edge of the list, while you never know when you might get another Checkers, Coxy, Noble, Ginni out of nowhere, so it's probably a good thing.

Wow, not someone I would have parted with. Has poise and good kicking skills. But meh, trust the process I guess.

[bucking awesome]

You have to have 3 spots every year which makes it hard. I would imagine Kelly and Bianco would be the others

Tom Wilson probably wont be offered another contract (He has been a rookie for more than 3 years now) and I imagine Cooper Murley will also go (another rookie spot).

Arlo Draper is probably borderline - potentially could be rookied. Id love to see Bianco hang around but I dont think it will happen

Its always tough this time of year but the difference is we have a premiership cup to ease the pain

[npalm]

I think the knock on Trey is that he sometimes misses easy targets even when under minimum pressure. Saw him do this in one VFL game, when in a stop play situation (mark or free kick) he missed a team mate less than 30 metres away, kicked the ball right over his head straight to an opponent and it resulted in an opposition goal. A real face palm moment.
He certainly has a lot of good features and I think he can make it at AFL level, especially if he can clean up this element of his game.
I hope he gets another opportunity.

^That would be a tragedy; he's miles too good to not get a spot on a list. Hopefully, being next in line in the premier team in the comp bodes well for him.
