The guys bolded are the ones I think deserve a second chance somewhere else - not necessarily at Collingwood. They all carry their own baggage but its about risk & return. None deserve an early pick (even Ball IMO) they should all be mid to late in the draft.

Guys such as Tenace & Maquire injury permitting were really starved of oppurtunities at 2 strong clubs & should get a run in half the teams out there quite easily. Smith is purely an injury query. Meesen is an interesting one, if he is fit he would be a handy backup ruck (not that we need him). Harris & Couglan are hard at it types great for depth. Buckley, Thorp & JON would be project players promised a lot but are nowhere near it at present - perhaps all they need is a new environment to thrive. Thorp in particular could be anything & worth a risk on a KPP. Hooper can be a handy crumber if a side has a weakness in that area he is a quick fix.
