I don't really get this go home factor as being a reason why you wouldn't pick a player.

To me if he's the player you want you take him. Then it's up to the club to make him want to stay.
If he still doesn't after a couple of years you more than likely get as good if not better compensation.

Tim Kelly.

Or just turn it down and take nothing :p

That was not Cats 1st Pick Though. With 3rd or even 2nd at Earlist you could try but not your Top Pick

Agreed Mr Spider.

The go home factor is real but I can’t think of too many that have left us to head back to SA or WA.

I reckon they'll get WCE's first pick which will probably be 14-18. And nothing more.

Geelong were just desperate to keep Kelly on their list for Ablett's last year.
Point is Cats paid a decent price to get him in the first place.
He had a gun season & WC offered little more than what the Cats paid for him. I admire the Cats for sticking phat.

The GAJ thing you say I don't get.

I mean for 2020 Geelong are going to lose GAJ and also Kelly. Selwood will likely be going into his last 2-3 years.

They're desperate to somehow pinch a flag in 2019 but reality is they're way off. I think their list is in big trouble.

I agree and it's the lack of developing quality in the 25 and under group that's their biggest issue. They really need the Cockatoo, Ratugolea, Fogarty and Henry types to take the next step. Their best 22 is good but they still rely too heavily on too few and a fading home ground advantage.
 
Whoops Sorry.

Here is Real One:


My second phantom draft for the year, my first (round 1 only) came before the trade period.

Probably a fairly uneventful draft for Collingwood realistically with Collingwood to nominate and match bids on Quaynor and Kelly.

Will be interesting whether Atu is nominated or not for the national draft or whether the club believes he will be there as a rookie.

I think Collingwood Fans know already at know our Top 2 Picks Already so bit of a Non-Event it going to be for us.

Rookie Draft be more Interesting;)

I might have to make the Bigfooty Official Phantom Draft interesting and pass on all three or decline to match bids on all of them.

I don't think we'll have that many picks in the Rookie Draft either, with Broomhead most likely using up one of them. With Appleby, Lynch, Mihocek (possibly) and one of the Irish players (taking up spots) there may not be any more picks at all. This year we had the 5 Category A Rookies and if they keep it that way for next year most of the spots are as good as taken.

He was pretty hard for Boyd and Patton when they were in their draft years too if I remember correctly. KPF's seem so hard to pick, they're the new rucks.
In fairness Patton was, and is a good player, just been cruelled by injury.

Read through this list twice but still can’t see my name.... clearly a misprint
Bad the Dawes you were always a rider through the storm
 
Interesting how little genuine trade, contract and draft leaks have got out this year. Might be the player manager side of Ned Guy!?

People here have Blamed Pert for lot of the Leaks.

Nothing came out from Collingwood Side During the Trade Period

Exactly, and I'd even go as far to say that Beams to Collingwood was only leaked by Connors to Barrett to get it into the public.

He only would've done that so Brisbane felt like they had to move on a player whom the entire football public now knew wasn't fully committed.
