Sam Colquhoun

[Griffo35]

Picked to debut against Richmond this week, on the back of a 28 possession game for Central Districts on the weekend.
Should be a decent downgrade option in a couple of weeks.

Any thoughts on him?

[HotTiges]

stevenson / heath in the gun if Colq kills it

[bowyanger]

Had him tagged before the season began..definately a downgrade target

[Capper]

Pittard still to come back as well

[Dayze]

Kid is very skinny. No doubts on his skills and ability to find the ball but does not have a very afl ready body. Can't see him stringing too many games together but look forward to having a look at him this week

Heppell was skinny to and others like Neade could name a few more but if he does well he'll keep playing

[Millhouse]

I'd had him since the start... I think he'll be good; about 65-70 avg and peak at about 300k.

[legsmcgee]

Will he get enough games though, is the question?
As is, is he viable if named the sub tomorrow?

Every1 is going on about the sub for players at rock bottom price.

If it was a player over 300K, sure the vest would be a worry.

We are getting in cheap players now to help upgrades so the sub candidate shouldnt be  starting on the field in your team.

Its quite rare for a player to have multiple vests.

Kommer has had the vest, and a few others also Im sure that are still rolling along ok.

Have some aggots and stop over thinking things!! 8) Keep it simple, there is no knowing what coaches will do with anyone, its the risk we take with every player, then theres injuries...jesus.. are you worried about the GS in 18 weeks time also?

You shouldnt really be looking at him until he has played 2 games anyways

Sorry, to put into context:
Have 4 donuts in back line currently (Had 7 last week, traded in 2 for 5). Whoever comes in this week is important to how well I score. He is an option, why not look at him now? He's played in the 2's so its not like its his first game ever.

Difference between his price and Vlastuins could very well be the difference between 1 or 2 premium upgrades next week for me, pending this weeks scores.

Just trying to validate my concerns, that's all.

How the hell ...

I started to type things that may not have been appropriate at your expense in a perhaps jovial sense, and things seriously started to steamroll...

Ill just stick with "your splitting hairs really"

Im going now

Just saying we should definedly have a look at him kb. Some have suggested drafting him in this round. A kid this skinny we should watch for a few rounds is all I've been saying.
Neade and heppell were preseason decisions. Neade only made my team becoz of the lack of forward rooks. Glad I got him tho.
I can't believe I have been getting a hard time recently saying colquhoun is skinny. Having a ready made afl body is probably the most important attribute a rookie can have.
Surprised more senior voices haven't backed up this sentiment.

[kilbluff1985]

i wasn't saying it isn't important but you made it sound like he wouldn't do well and keep his spot just because he's skinny

[Dayze]

I really really hope he does well. I went with a three prem backline like a lot of others and solid downgrades at this time of year are priceless. Fingers crossed for the kid
