Can't really stop player managers or the people close to the player contacted for background information, from leaking that information.

One of their aims would be for their player to be drafted higher than normal so that he can from an increase in base salary.
Not to mention when these player's are interviewed, they're asked which club's have spoken to them.

I think hine is also looking for a player to eventually replace Jack crisp as he is 31. At 190cm his flexibility has been invaluable, don't know where this side would be without his ability to play multiple positions.
Given that it usually takes a draftee 2 - 3 years to find his footing in the afl, it makes some sense to target someone in this years draft.
 
Yea we should draft 4, I would rather take someone like polkinghorne over taking aj in the rookie draft.
We're not going to do that. It's not a consideration. AJ and Markov are getting picked up in the rookie draft no matter what. Clubs don't do that to players when they've committed to rookie-listing the players. Absolutely 0% chance of Collingwood going back on their word.
 
Yeah but sometimes you think you're taking the Butters type over the Rayner type and you're actually taking Tom Scully and Jack Trengove over Dustin Martin. It's not as easy as dismissing the "type" of player.
It's risk versus reward. However, I'm with Manic and think they go the dynamic athlete a bit too much over the pure footballer.
