While there is some really class footballers in the draft that will go high, you have to envy the position Collingwood find themselves in having 3 late picks in the first round. They could conceivably get (just an example) Membrey, Simpson and Hrovat. That's a fair haul.
I'm like most others and have trolled the net watching a zillion kids. There's some diamonds in the rough to be had you just hope/wish the recruiting department see the same thing.
I would give my left $&@ to get Stringer. He will be the next big thing. But alas if he doesnt get past the Dogs (which I actually think he will as i dont think they can afford not to take pure mids with 5 & 6) I'm going for a roughie at #11. I want Jesse Lonergan from Tas. Can play inside mid like Judd or outside mid like Murph. Can go forward and take a mark or can run off a HBF. Is an absolute ball magnet with very good leg speed and pack breaking ability and like our resident Taswegian, Mitch, is tuff as nails. A succession plan for Judd IMO.
Then FWIW, I'd take Spencer White with #36. Not sold on Sammy Rowe and for what they're trying to achieve with Levi as a deep forward threat, I think White is a more natural forward, with dare I say it a little bit of Buddy about him. There is big kids and there is BIG kids. He runs straight and hard at the ball but unlike some
that have the turning circle of a Kenworth, he can lay off and link up before putting on the after burners. Sound familiar? Unless a gem falls by 15-20 spots, I'd take the chance. At #56 I'd go Jackson Thurlow, another two header. Really underrated this kid. Labelled as a tall HBF but I see
him as a 3rd forward that after a few seasons can develop into a midfielder. He and Lonergan are highly rated down south. At #71(?) I'd look at another indigenous lad to play outside and run like the wind. Garlett, Simpson and the like will be well gone, but Shannon Taylor in the AFL system with our 3 indigenous boys could be this years Prince Jeffy. Lightning quick and I mean lightning. And like most indigenous boys, has that lazy long raking kick to a target.
