We already have 4 KPD's on our list, I don't remember having that many at once in 10 years, 5 would be a bonanza!
I wonder if this public announcement is a power play to force Collingwoods hand? After 6, they don't pick again until 38.. 4 picks after our 2nd round pick. By putting it out there that we're after KPDs, it may force Collingwood to bite the bullet on Naughton and even Fogarty at 6 to ensure they don't miss out, wallah - slider at 7.
Pass on a KP at 6, and there's only very slim pickings left at 38, as you'd expect Brander, Balta, Allen will have all gone
Edit -
This adds to the pressure on Collingwood to take a KP early
Brown f/son eating up their 3rd rounder would be a disaster for their KP stocks should they go a mid with 6. Clearly they weren't banking on a bid before then either since they loaded up with 3x 4th round picks (56, 61, 70) to pay for Brown... In this scenario, we would have 4 selections before Collingwood's 2nd pick, so if we did want to gobble up whats left of KPD's we could, leaving nothing for Collingwood...
