*I'd definately say the Pies B-Team is the strongest in the league. Collingwood have unbelieveable depth in terms of best 44 unlike clubs like Geelong, St Kilda or the Western Bull Dogs who all have a strong 25-26 which is probably more practical. In terms of future depth I'd go with Collingwood and Hawthorn having the most simply through strong drafting over the last 5 seasons.*

(Johnstone, Sierakowski, Williams)


Losing Kennedy, McGlynn and Williams from our senior side have hurt our depth around the bottom-end midfield spots, and running 7 rucks is a tad overkill, so it's not as good as it was IMO.

lacking a bit for quality midfielders outside 22 which is why Libba and Wallis will be god pickups this year. Forwards look good but still definately need another key defender.

Blue are the players who I think could still be good footballers. Red are certain delist. Black are the guys I don't know much about.

Very bleak reading indeed.

Agree with that. Shows we should be ok with forwards/mids but we look weak in defence in the B team.

North Ballarat say hi.

North Melb have a 2nds forward group containing Corey Jones, Edwards/Warren, Hale which is much more than the Pies entire B forward line. Fairly even in midfield and defense but North would probably be stronger by kicking more goals, as seen with North's 2nds (Nth Ballarat).
