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.
 
What time Dave?
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.

Trying to coordinate what time to get home from work with our selections and miss all the standard carry-on 🤣

Probably close to 9pm.
 
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.

To me, an 18 year old who's 194cm and doing a bit of rucking means that he's got a good leap (which he does - 9th at the combine) and is confident and strong in the body.

West is one of the main targets of my pining this draft. I like his chances.
 
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.

For context.

Carlton traded a F1 for pick 14 from Hawthorn.

North should improve next season but given Melbourne in 14th, Gold Coast in 13th and St Kilda in 12th finished 8 games clear of North in 17th then I'm fairly confident they've just traded a future top 4 pick for 27/Whitlock.

He'd want to be bloody good.

This trade might start making a little more sense if they're resigned to losing LDU next year or are prepared to take the McKay approach and not go all out to keep him.

With future trading now set to be extended beyond 12 months they would have the option of accepting a compensation pick or matching and forcing a mega trade offer.
 
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.
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.
 
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.

WA side probably take him with there 1st Pick Tonight
