Collingwood’s recruiting team rocked up to Marvel Stadium on Wednesday night, but didn’t have much work to do as they were without a first-round pick and had no way of getting back into the pointy end of the draft. The good news is their pick 52 has been wound in to pick 45 and none of the players the Magpies had been linked to were surprise early selections.
Collingwood has had an eye on 190cm West Australian forward-midfielder Hamish Davis, 197cm South Australian Charlie Nicholls and West Australian key defender Clancy Dennis, who could all be available when their picks roll around.
They also recently met with late-season bolter Hugh Boxshall, an athletic big-bodied midfielder.
Two WA boys and eagles have pick right before us.
Jake Waterman was pick 77, one of him would be handyLol it's hard to get to excited for anything outside top 35 or so.
What time Dave?Well it’s Draft Day for Collingwood
I'd also like to know if anyone has any idea around roughly what time the selections will actually start (I assume the coverage will begin with an exhaustive assessment of last nights happenings), and in particular ours.What time Dave?

Trying to coordinate what time to get home from work with our selections and miss all the standard carry-on
No to WestDavis won't be there at our Pick and Nicholls and Dennis are no Gurantee ones
Though we where also keen on West?
No to West
We don’t need another FF / Ruck hybrid imo

West isn't a hybrid type - He's a ruck in the way that Dan McStay might chop out in the ruck.No to West

Going by Cal - who is the only one to go by - it would have been originally Tauru - and it would have been a straight swap with nothing back.
Cal said before the draft that they'd trade it to get a tall - who knows how they rated Whitlock against Trainor, FAull and Armstrong.
I think the tweet has a bit of mayo on it, in that the North offer would have changed a bit over the night and probably not been to all clubs - the F2 back from Richmond is significant. GWs would have bitten if that trade was offered with their F2 - the offer to them would have been for two of last night's picks.
Once Tauru was off the board - I'd say they were offering the Richmond deal to WCE with a similarly rated F2, but not to any other clubs, otherwise North's pick wouldn't have gotten to that late in the draft. To other clubs the deal would have been different and they probably didn't offer it to everyone.
It'll be intersting whether they go again and trade an F2 back into the draft or whether they use those F2s to get back in to next year's first round.
Of course, nobody is expecting to get a Brownlow winner. But there’s no point in being so down on the hand we’ve been given either, it’s a deep draft and Hine is usually pretty good at finding later gems.Yes there are hits on occassion but few and far between and requires just as much luck as anything.
The Swan, S.Mitchell et el draft was a bloody long time ago now.
My expectations will be tempered until they show something.
Hopefully we can find another Beau McCreery or even less likely next Swan but my expectations are it's a lucky windfall rather then expected.
I'd be curious to know why Kayle Gerreyn the bigger Tex Walker clone didn't go top 10. Scatch that, didn't go early because he's not a bigger Tex Walker clone.
