Yeah. Game plan looks cooked, but nothing has changed with the list. We'll try to load up to keep going until Moore, JDG and Bruzzy are cooked and Tassie concessions have finished.

How good is this years draft? If it’s exceptional and we are trying to get back into the top end then we will have to give up quality if we want to be involved in the top part of the draft. Fringe players have no value and are just not getting anything worthwhile
Thomas McGuane. Oscar Lonie (son of Ryan). Marcus (14) & Max (13) Rocca (Sav & Pebbles) respectively.
We are cooked drafting this year, trading equally so.
How do we improve?
We can improve around the margins with some adept recycling and picking up of fringe role players.
Free agents, potentially but our window is not as wide open as we thought.
Improvement from within our list will be the big step, but other clubs will do the same.

Yes! Reef in the middle, that's what I want to see. Hopefully Allan bulks up a bit to strengthen his back muscles to protect that nasty back injury he had. If we can replace Maynard, he would be ferocious on ball, I can see it now.
If there was an under 25yo key defender available that would be best 22 then yes, of course they would be a preferred target. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like may of those types are available on the market. I was mainly just using Barass as an example for a KPD to bring in that could transform the look of our defence.
The cost to get him is a valid point and probably rules us out, but I wouldn't be deterred by his age. He is the same age as Darcy Moore and Jordan DeGoey. If we are going to win another premiership in the next 5-6 years, it will in large part be due to the top end talent we have in side around the late 20's (DeGoey, Moore, Maynard, McStay etc). Yes, ideally someone younger but I wouldn't rule him out because he is his late 20's.

If you'd like to watch his highlights against the devils go here:
I’m curious to see which players might be put up for trade to strengthen our draft hand. I’m sure El Presidente JB mentioned earlier this year we would be active in this draft and eluded to this. Assuming along with pick swaps.
Can’t see anyone having any value that would make it worth the trade. The oldies don’t. Elliot is more valuable than any currency we’d get. The fringe players don’t have any value.
The others we’d be trading low based off this poor season as most players have had down years.
I think it was also said that we would attack free agency, but it looks like nothing will materialise there.
Unfortunately I think it will be a very quiet off-season, where we will go to the draft with what we have and try to bring in some youth from far back positions.

does our recruiting team actually look forward to see whos coming up in a draft? Why do a future first in a strong year with an old battered list?. and why try to get into a first round multiple times in avery week year such as 2020?
He could be the No.1 pick in the '25 draft. That's how good this kid is, and he will be the perfect Pendlebury replacement...

Unlikely. Quite a few who played in this years under 18 nationals and made or were close to All Australian. So not sure he would be top 5 currently
Not sure on the easier draw part. We are Collingwood. Every team wants to play us aka to beat us and for theirs/AFL’s piggy bank.
I'm talking about his trajectory is going up, and he may well be the number 1 pick by the time next years draft comes around. Already playing senior footy down at Keilor and playing very nicely....

You’re absolutely right about game plan innovation being responsible for those two flags.
You also walk right past the fact that the list recruited by Hine and co enabled that game plan.
You make the right point, but the conclusion is that recruiting and coaching came together to win a flag.
And I think you’ll find this is the case for every premiership.
Pretty solid numbers as an under-age player. Thank God for the father son systemThis is 16 year old Thomas McGuane’s stats this season for the jets

I had heard that GW wanted to prioritise kids in the draft, but Clarko wanted to top up, GW was overridden and that began your downfall. Not sure if that is true or not.

No-one really knows the dynamic between coaches (within that group too), recruiters and list managers - the roles probably vary slightly between each club - and then the issue of personalities comes into play....
..... some clubs have even been known to have a president that interferes in these matters - imagine that
