They would have traded him but didnt becuase Toby was going to miss the first 6 rnds of the season and Bobby Hill was the only small fwd they had left
No…they outright refused to trade him.
Yet a year later they were happy to trade him to Collingwood with little fanfare. I guarantee there was more to it.
McCartney dosent like dealing with Dodoro
Apparently they had no warning that Hill wanted out, so had made no plans to replace him at that late stage.
Allegedly, we had no warning either. Allegedly.
Yep, this year they got Toby Bedford across as cover and also drafted two small fwd-mids in the first round. One of whom they had plans to play from very early on but he did his knee in the preseason - Darcy Jones.
We were never a chance but he was a free-agent and people were berating any takers saying he was “finished” and “cooked”.
Oh surprise.
I’d say 6 is conservative, doubt he will play again this year
Miracle recovery to return and have 65 disposals and 12 goals in round 24.
That gif is, for me, like looking in a mirror when I read that. I’ve let myself go
Eat ■■■■ filth
Imagine how many Collingwood nuffs have money on him for the Brownlow.
The Bont not winning the Brownlow this year would be one of the travesty’s of the year.
Daicos would have won it without the injury. I think Bont does now though.
Eh, what’s the actual injury?
Hairline fracture in the knee.
