Who should we target to play as strictly VFL players for the pies, next year. ie. not on the Pies list

if licca and wakes retire this year would like to see them have some sort of big development role at the VFL team. they have been loyal and good servants to the Pies and have lots to offer

well i reckon it would be types, say jaxon barham.

For any of you who are followers of the junior footy/ the draft, you would know jaxon is a father son prospect who the pies are very keen on (training with them for at least 2 months now).

What people also don't know is that Jaxon played for the Geelong Falcons this year under the 19 year old rule. If collingwood had of established a stand alone reserves side last year, I would have no doubt in my mind they would have used it to develop/ scope a player like jaxon out, and make a decision about his future using the collignwood VFL side.

Also they could look at relocating their NSW scholarship holders and play them down here. Or once the NSW scholarship holders have moved on (weren't considered draft prospects), they would be offered spots on the VFL list. I'd imagine that would form basis of a VFL top up.
