Salad days winter spring summer and fall, morning noon and night. Love em.Not great in the winter...
We are not really in a position to gamble on another player that has been injured.
If we were in Hawthorn's position we could or if this was 2011.
Was just about to post something similar. I'm on the Lever train ATM if he's got the all clear. I don't mind that he's similar to scharenberg those two coming out of the backline would be a joy to watch.Very tough decision but I really like the look of Lever. We could pickup Laverde and his knee pops in the pre-season. You can't predict the future. I don't know but if docs give it the green light I'd be uber keen.
No, but you can use statistical information to mitigate risk - Studies suggest that the recurrence rate for ACL injuries could be as high as 12%, whereas the risk of players with otherwise healthy knees doing an ACL (i.e. Jayden Laverde and most of the other candidates for our pick) is between four and 15 times lower, depending on the study you trust.We could pickup Laverde and his knee pops in the pre-season.

so ive just seen the highlights thoroughly.
Petracca is out of the question will go number 1 easily. congrats saints.
Ahern, laverde, lever, langford are all welcome at Collingwood, boy oh boy its going to be nice in a few years when we will be a kicking team like the hawks.
some exciting footy players we will have, just barring up thinking about it.

Past the 12- and 24-month marks, the risk does reduce fairly significantly, but in our position, having lost both of our 2013 draftees' entire first seasons to injury, it probably doesn't make sense for us to take on such an increased risk at this stage.
I think he did his knee late last year. If we manage if carefully I think it's a risk worth taking. Bah, the doctors will know I guess and advise the club appropriately.
This is one of the most often repeated ridiculous lines of thought surrounding this draft.logic would suggest McCartin but others have suggested he's too similar to Hogan
We have just sacked our medical team so starting afresh in that department!
laverde, we should take.Couldn't get any Petracca highlights to play so I can only use my imagination to picture his awesomeness. Just relieved he's going to the Saints where he is unlikely to do any real damage.
I'm fascinated as to how Melbourne will go in attempting to fix the many holes in their list. Would imagine Brayshaw a lock and then logic would suggest McCartin but others have suggested he's too similar to Hogan hence Wright and Lever come into the frame. At a pinch you would say:
1. Petracca
2. Brayshaw
3. Wright
4. Lever/McCartin?
Leaving us with ...
This is one of the most often repeated ridiculous lines of thought surrounding this draft.
Jesse Hogan was always compared most commonly to Jonathan Brown pre-draft. McCartin has also been compared to Jonathan Brown.
If you could have two Jonathan Browns on your team, exactly why would that be a problem?
I agree with VV - I'm not sure we are in a position to gamble with known quantities.No, but you can use statistical information to mitigate risk - Studies suggest that the recurrence rate for ACL injuries could be as high as 12%, whereas the risk of players with otherwise healthy knees doing an ACL (i.e. Jayden Laverde and most of the other candidates for our pick) is between four and 15 times lower, depending on the study you trust.

mccartin is identical to Porkins from the pussysMy only concern with taking McCartin, is he too one dimensional these days for a forward, he is not overly tall for a modern KPP at 193/194. Can he go into the ruck or midfield when he is having a bad day or is he good enough to hold down the one position FF or CHF(if he can work on his endurance) year after year. That's why if we go KPP I would prefer Wright (flexibility) by a pinch. Though you won't here me complaining if McCartin's name is called out at 5, worth the risk lots of talent.
If we're going tall, I'd be happy with Durdin.
Plays forward, back & ruck, (48 hitouts in an u/18 grand final).
