Always a fun one I get requested to do each year, so I thought I may as well go again this year and try my luck. Those wanting a go, feel free to put your attempts below and see if you can beat Collingwood's selections or possibly mine. Hinesight (Collingwood's selections): MSD: 3: Ashley...

Always a bit of fun. Pitting myself against the club and then can come back in a few years time to review how right/wrong/close or otherwise. Hinesight: 40: Jay Rantall 45: Trent Bianco 55: Trey Ruscoe Notes: All suitable selections. Rantall and Bianco both represent relative value without...

Hi all, This year as per tradition I'm recruiting for Collingwood in the annual Bigfooty Official Phantom Draft. A link for all those who wish to follow it: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/big-footy-phantom-draft.1231744/ -- My first selections: And here I had planned all day to...

A place to post your trade suggestions. With Boston unable to trade for Anthony Davis this year due to the Rose rule and LAL not wanting to get rid of all their young pieces and picks and Pelicans ideally not wanting to send Davis to another team in their conference. Why shouldn't the Raptors...

1. Steph 2. MJ 3. Kobe 4. LeBron 5. Shaq Who have you got? I've got 1. Steph 2. MJ 3. LeBron 4. Russell 5. Wilt With a rotation of: Kareem/Oscar/KD

*Hastily put together but hopefully easy enough to follow. Busy weekend so didn't have the time to do it earlier. Hinesight: ND: Isaac Quaynor – bid on earlier than I’d feel comfortable with talents I rate more highly to be available at next pick *38 on draft board Will Kelly – same story as...

I'd happily go without Teague in such a trade, but the NBA Trade Machine has the deal working with Teague, he isn't an essential component, I'd personally prefer Rose though he at this time can't be traded. The rule with trading picks is you can't trade back to back first round picks. The...

I thought this might be the best place to ask as I've failed to find this anywhere. I'm looking for Buckley's long kick season stats from 1993-2007. Even better if there are competition long kick stats during those years, or better again all-time long kicking stats for a season and where any...

As I've been receiving questions in my 2015 thread I thought it time to create a 2016 thread. This for now will be a Q+A thread and feature my weekly articles. Once my first draft profiles and power rankings have been posted onto ESPN (will let you all know when they have been) and have been...

Collingwood Almanac 2016: Player value rankings: --Untouchable-- 1. Brodie Grundy: A best five ruckman in the competition today and the best ruckman in the game under the age of 24. 2. Darcy Moore: Still a developing key forward, but a rapidly improving player and has the mix of attributes...

The idea came from NBA inspiration, viewing a video about the 50 greatest NBA basketball players. Then the question came up in my mind. Who are the 50 greatest Pies of all time? As brownlow medalists: Syd Coventry, Albert Collier, Harry Collier, Marcus Whelan, Des Fothergill, Len Thompson...

Will this be the year I outperform our superstar recruiting team including Derek Hine, Matt Rendell and Dom Milesi and company? Hinesight (Collingwood selections): 32: Brayden Sier: Tall, strong bodied midfielder. Have not sighted and this is very early for a midfielder who only managed 16 and...

It will seem like a big call for those not aware or with little knowledge of Wilt and naturally there will be debate as the range of sports people over such a long period of time in such a wide range of sports is so wide and diverse but Wilt is the only guy I'd make that statement of and I don't...

Hinesight - who Collingwood went with.. 5. De Goey (14 in my power rankings - though with Heeney, Moore and Steele higher on my draft board that would essentially make him 11 of those live available selections on my draft board) 9. Moore (4 in my power rankings) 30. Maynard (32 in my power...

Who Collingwood seem to want based on a combination of media rumours and common sense: Pick 5: Presumably De Goey is is the pick and the guy Collingwood want. Perhaps they also have Laverde or Langford on the shortlist for that selection. Perhaps they like Pickett though it looks like he will be...

Gaining knowledge in your own game often grows from knowledge in the games of others. With the NBA my no.2 sport and as the keen researcher I am, I've been doing some research into the great coaches and how they found success beyond simply the playing personnel they had at their disposal. The...

A yearly favourite of mine is putting myself up against master recruiter Derek Hine and seeing what I can do. I've added some insight into my thoughts on the eventual Collingwood selections and who I personally would have selected. Hinesight (who Derek Hine selected): Pick 6: Matthew...

My prediction of what Derek Hine's draft board looks like going off media rumours and the chances of them being available at our selections: 1. Boyd (unavailable - will go pick 1) 2. Aish (50% chance of availability at pick 6) 3. Scharenberg (90% chance of availability at pick 6. 50% chance of...
