Simple. Collingwood has medium height and build, does not sport a daft hairstyle, is a happily married man with a wife & daughter, has not been caught drunk and disorderly, has not beaten his wife or had affairs, answers correctly and to the point when asked a question instead of waffling meaningless phrases that could be twisted to something 'interesting' and above all works hard at improving his game and services to his team. How much more "ordinary" can a guy get? Can you imagine the media being interested in him or even like to have him around? Collingwood is the sort of guy that gives
The Sun &
News of the World nightmares.
